Note: all of these documents have differing year of birth. Her headstone and the fact that she was born 12 days prior to Wisconsin becoming a State (May 29th, 1848) I believe she was in fact born in 1848.

Sauk's 1st White Child Dies at 90
NORTH FREEDOM Mrs. Mary Trumble, the first, white child born in Sauk county, died this morning in her home here after a several weeks' illness. She was 90 years old and had spent her entire life in this vicinity. Mrs. Trumble was born May 17, 1847, in a log cabin built by her father, James Waddell, on land obtained from the government, four miles southwest of the village. Twelve days later Wisconsin was admitted to the Union. In 1867 she was married to Edward N. Trumble. The couple moved here in 1890 and entered the hotel business, operating the Trumble House for many years. Mr. Trumble also operated a livery stable. Mr. Trumble died many years ago, but "Mother" Trumble operated the hotel for eight years after her husband's death. For the past several years she has resided at her home with a friend. Only survivors are nieces and nephews. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
