Note regarding John and Matilda's children: There are some inconsistencies regarding the number of children in this family. Through numerous records, Marlie and Elmetta can be tracked. Twin children are listed in birth records (a male and a female) on 20 Mar 1889. One was Elmetta (female) and the male was not named (possibly stillborn?). In 1900 at the age of 47 Matilda stated she had given birth to 3 children, 2 of whom survived at the time. Again in 1910 at the age of 57, she states the same. Our listing of the 4th child (Mary Eva) is because Elmetta's obituary states her sister Mary Eva preceded her in death.
