Event Notes Note (1) In household of sister and brother-in-law Bertha & James Gain. Marital status widowed, occupation farmer. Note (2) Age 41 in 1936 marriage record would put birth in about 1895. But age 2 in the 1880 Census puts it in about 1878, and her headstone shows it as May 5 1878. The 1900 Census, which identifies her as Lucy Silena Groves, b. Nov 1882, age 17, is considered suspect.
