Mary's birth year on her death certificate is incorrect as the 1900 Census puts her birth year in 1881. Her occupation was listed as sales lady at Gimbel Bros.

The family seems to have changed their surname from Cahalan to Carlin perhaps after Mary's father died. His obituary in 1916 used the Cahalan surname with Carlin in parentheses and Mary's mother's obituary in 1918 did the exact opposite so it's a bit unclear why they used 2 surnames. Mary's brother William's obituary in 1904 only used the Cahalan surname.

Mary's death certificate and obituary used the surname Carlin.
