The obituary of her death on Jul 14 1951 lists birth date as Jul 23 1887 and her age as 64 (that actually would make her nine days short of her 64th birthday), and her birth record also shows she was born on Jul 23 1887. Her grave marker indicates her birth only as the year 1887. Note (2) With sister Edna, in household of maternal grandmother Susan Owens Smith. Their parents were not present.
