Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given as Jul 21 1890 in death record, and 1890 in on her headstone. But the 1900 Census shows it as Jul 1891, age 8. Middle initial given as M in 1900 Census, but L in death record. Her birth record resolves the conflicts by showing that her birth name was Lena Hitt, born Jul 21 1891 at Morgans Run to Lot (sic) and Alice Vanhorn Hitt, this being the mother's fourth child.
