BIRTH: Her birthdate is given as Jun 1868 in the 1900 census, but many think she was born in 1865. her Obit below gives us yet a third option.
For this reason I had initially left the birthdate blank. But now someone has added the headstone pic (shows b.1867) so I am using the BIO birth date which concurs with the headstone date.
Many Thanks to the submitters.
