But 1900 Census shows it as Aug 1853, age 46. Note (2) The California Death Index correctly shows Edith M. (Shinn) Wilson's death date as July 12 1916, but it incorrectly reflects her place of death as Los Angeles County, California. Basis for this entry is presumably because Los Angeles had been her most recent residence. But her obituary clearly states that she had traveled east to visit her daughter in Dewar, Oklahoma, and that she died there at her daughter's home.
