Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in marriage record as Dec 3 1857, but 1900 shows it as Sep 1856, while age at death puts it at Dec 3 1855. Birth date on headstone is 1847, which is clearly incorrect. Note (2) Birth date given in 1900 Census as June 1859. Age in marriage record would put birth in about 1861. Note (3) Not with family in 1910 Census, although husband's marital status was married. Note (4) Birth date given in 1900 Census as May 1887, with middle initial M. But headstone shows it as Dec 14 1887, with middle initial E.
