Likely born in Iowa, but needs verification. Since she died in Freeport, Illinois her death record would be there to provide clarification.
Her DOB is listed in the Evergreen cemetery transcriptions as being January 4, 1899; at least one tree on Ancestry has her DOB in 1901 in Clayton county, Iowa. However, that same tree has her marriage taking place on April 15, 1897, so that source should be used with obvious caution.
Wife of Verne/Vern D. Farnham (note: her obituary listed him as Verne E. Farnham; however a search of Ancestry records including a WWI Draft Registration card signed by him indicates that his first name was "Vern" and his middle initial was "D", not "E"). He does not appear to have a F/A/G memorial to link to at this time. Information as to where he and their son/daughter are would be appreciated.
