Event Notes Note (1) Age in marriage record would put birth in about 1879, and 1900 Census shows it as May 1879. But her age is younger in subsequent censuses, and her death record states her birth date as Apr 29 1882, with the informant being her mother. Note (2) Birth date given in marriage record as Apr 15 1912. Note (3) Listed as Nettie Gains, 15, one of many inmates at the West Virginia Industrial Home for Girls. Note (4) Social Security Death Index incorrectly states death date as Dec 17 2002. Death record, military records and obituary show it as Dec 18 2002.
