Note (2) Age given in marriage record and in 1920 and 1930 Censuses would put birth in about 1881 or 1882, and 1900 Census states July 1881, age 18. But birth date is given in birth record and obituary as Jul 17 1879, and date on headstone is also 1879. Although her parents were married in 1878, an entry for them in the 1880 Census could not be found.
