Event Notes
Note (1) Census records of 1870, 1880, 1910, 1920 and 1930 state Alice O. Bee's
birthplace as Missouri.  Given that consistency, the few exceptions that show it
as West Virginia are believed to be clerical errors,
Note (2) Month of birth in 1900 Census appears to be either January or June.
Note (3) Birth date on headstone is 1895.
