NOTE: America's husband Nelson died in 1879 and is buried in London, Ohio, where the family was living at the time. At the time of his death and burial, America's name was added to the headstone. Eventually, however, after her mother's death in 1908, she moved to the Chicago suburb of Dolton to be near her son Albert. After her son's death in 1923 and until her death in 1933, she continued to live with Albert's widow Jessie. She is buried in Cook County IL, not in Ohio with her husband. Therefore, the death date on the Ohio headstone remains blank. (See the headstone photo on her husband's memorial page.)
