Parents: John Sheehan and Katherine Buckley.
Married A. D. Thompson, 21 June 1913, Portland, Oregon

Parents, POD from Nevada death certificate. Marriage info from posted marriage record.

Birth date and place are inconsistent between various sources. Death cert and obituary give 1875 in Nevada. Birth date computed from exact age (y/m/d) at marriage and marriage date is 11 December 1882, place Colorado. The 1880 census shows Colorado; age 3 implies 1877 (for January through May birthdays) or 1876 (for June to December). Her presence in the 1880 census excludes birthyears before 1880 (unless the parents reused a name after the death of a child, which was not as uncommon then as it is now).
