Lee-18303 and Lee-16883 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person. Death date on Lee-16883 is incorrect. Mary died between Feb 1880 and 31 May 1880 based on 1880 Federal Census Mortality Schedule for Pulaski Co., Missouri. Joseph, her husband, is listed as widower in the actual 1880 census.
