Note: Her death certificate indicates a birth year of 1872 and age at death in 1952 of 80, but this data was based upon a mistake by her youngest daughter, Missy, who provided information for the death certificate. As the newspaper article above stated (which quotes a press release by her son, John W Snyder) her age at death in 1952 was 82, which makes her birth year of 1870. This birth year 1870 comports with census records for 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940.
