DISCREPANCIES WITH REGARD TO HER DATE OF BIRTH:
The obituary (above) says she was born in 1859. The death certificate says she was born in 1859. The tombstone says she was born in 1858. In the 1860 census, she is listed as 2 years old as of 1 June 1860. (She is listed in the household headed by her father, Turner Edson, in Noblesville, Hamilton Co, IN, on p. 246.) so, assuming she was born in April, it must have been 15 April 1858.
