    • Birth date on headstone is 5 Jan 1855. But age 9 in the 1860 Census and age 18 in1870 Census would put it in about 1851 or 1852. Her birth date in the 1900 Census was January 1852.

    • The California Death Index correctly shows Edith M. (Shinn) Wilson's death date as July 12 1916, but it incorrectly reflects her place of death as Los Angeles County, California. Basis for this entry is presumably because Los Angeles had been her most recent residence. But her obituary clearly states that she had traveled east to visit her daughter in Dewar, Oklahoma, and that she died there at her daughter's home.
