Event Notes
Note (1) Birth date on her headstone is Dec 12 1863.  But her obituary states her
birth date as Dec 11 1862, the 1900 Census also shows it as Dec 1862, and age 20
in her March 1883 is also consistent with a Dec 1862 birth date.
Note (2) Death date on headstone is Aug 4 1916, which the calendar shows to have been
a Friday.  But her obituary states that she died "at 3:15, Saturday afternoon,
Aug. 5."  Her death record also shows the death date as Aug 5 1916, with age at
death 54y 8m 24d.  But that age calculates to a birth date of Nov 12 1861, which
is inconsistent with the Dec 1862 or Dec 1863 birth date in her obituary and on
her headstone, respectively.
