Research Notes

Disputed Birth Date: Her death record indicates she was born 24 Mar 1817. Her son Phillip was the informant.[4][3]. This profile reports the birth date shown on contemporary records from Schlitz.[1][2]

Disputed Death Date: The transcribed obituary obtained from the Shabbona-Lee-Rollo Historical Museum indicates her date of death was 07 Dec 1906.[13] This date is at odds with her signed death certificate, dated 06 Dec 1906.[3] The date from the death certificate is reported in this profile because it's a primary and contemporary source.
