Research notes

  • Sources: Her only record seen is the 1920 census, read on screen during the survey of her grandmother Barbara Kamm's records.1
  • Birth: 7 in January 1920 gives a birth between January 1912 and January 1913; the family tree's "abt 1913" has no source in the tree. If she was born after her parents' marriage in May 1912, she was born between May 1912 and January 1913.2
  • Death (unverified): The family tree gives 2 Sep 1921 without a source; she is last seen in January 1920. Leads: the Missouri death certificates for 1921 (Ancestry, "Missouri, U.S., Death Certificates, 1910–1971"; Missouri State Archives, Bates County, 1921); Green Lawn Cemetery, Rich Hill; the Rich Hill Mining Review of September 1921.
