Father: Francis Nixon (born in Virginia)
Mother: Eliza Jane (Bowman) Nixon (1828-1900)
Husband: Samuel Andrews (1834-1903) (married in 1872 according to 1880 1900 US Census)
8 children with 7 surviving according to 1900 US Census:
Linn Andrews (1880-1913),
Bertha (Andrews) Hollis (1883-1917),
Samuel Charles Andrews (1887-1969),
Nellie (Andrews) Anderson (1892-1939)
Thomas Earl (March 21, 1879-)(died as an infant, prior to 1880 US Census),
Agnes (Andrews) Andrea (living in San Francisco in 1927),,
Mary A. (Andrews) Hollis (1878-1927)
From the Washington State Digital Archives website, it shows the date of death as March 7, 1920 and her age as 66 years old at the time of her death.
I would assume from this that 1919 is the correct year of death.
