↑ The Marion County death register clearly states that Martha died on 16 March 1910. The date 16 March 1909 is clearly carved on her grave stone, which appears contemporary to the time of her death. Martha's death record includes her exact age at death, and the calculated birth date matches the one carved on her stone. This seems to indicate that the death register provides the correct date, so that is the date used here unless additional evidence is found.
