Although her headstone says she was born in 1884, you might note that she is listed on the 1880 census as 1 yr old and on the 1900 census as 21 yrs old. Not sure how the mistake was made, but it might be a mix up with her sister Nancy Elizabeth Simpson who was born in 1884. Their mother Sarah Jane Henley is my relative.
