    • Death date in death record is 5 Dec 1908, but her headstone shows it as 4 Dec 1903. Age 14y 11m 9d in her death record appears to be a miscalculation, as it would put her birth date at 26 Dec 1888.

      A brief news item of her death, with date appearing to be 25 Dec 1903, reads as follows::
      "Metta [sic], the fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Adams, died Friday night and was interred at the Eddy Cemetery Sunday."
      A check of the 1903 calendar shows that 4 Dec 1903 fell on a Friday.
