A second obituary is found on the same page of the same edition of the newspaper: Mrs. Nancy R. Cramer died at her home 1 1/2 miles north of Inwood, at 2:30 o'clock Friday morning, aged 52 years. Deceased had been sick for about 2 weeks before her death. She is survived by her husband, Isaac, and five children, Mrs. Jennie Stone, of Center Township, Ernest of Plymouth, Otis who lives east of Plymouth, Lertus(sic) of Bourbon township, Benjamin, Lawrence and Wilbert, the latter three of whom reside at the home. The funeral was held at the Jacoby church Sunday morning at 10:00 o'clock. Burial in the Jacoby cemetery.
DISCREPANCY #1: The first obituary indicates she was the eldest child in her family which is contrary to information contained in the 1860 census which indicates she had an older sister, Martha, born ca1851 and brothers, David born ca1853 and George W. born ca 1855. Perhaps the intention was to indicate that she was the eldest surviving child in the family.
DISCREPANCY #2: The first obituary indicates she bore 8 sons and 3 daughters of which 6 sons and 1 daughter survive. The second obituary indicates that she is survived by 5 children but then identifies 1 daughter and 6 sons which does match the 7 surviving children stated in the first obituary.
