Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given as Aug 1855 in 1900 Census. Note (2) Although birth records show a birth date of Oct 18 1856, it is shown as Feb 1857 in the 1900 Census, while age 51y 10m 14d in her death record calculates to a birth date of Dec 25 1857. She was age 2 in the 1860 Census, and age 17 in her 1875 marriage record, both of which would put her birth in about 1858. Her headstone has only the year 1857.
