Note: Emily's death certificate notes her birth date as 29
Jan 1870. We find this suspect for two reasons. First, her parents were married
January 29, 1871 in Ironton, MO. Secondly, we find it highly suspicious that
she was born EXACTLY one year EARLIER than their marriage. We believe she was
born sometime in 1871 and there was confusion as to actual dates.
Records that support our conclusion are the census records only:
1870 census (not found)
1880 census, Emily's age supports birth in 1871.
1900 census (not found)
1910, taken 21 Apr 1910 - supports birth in 1870
1920, taken 9 January 1920 - supports birth in 1871
1930, taken 21 Apr 1930 - supports birth in 1870
