Missouri death certificate # 1090 female, white, widow, retired teacher. Cause of death chronic myocarditis and senility. Died in Mary E Wilson Home. Parents listed unknown. Informant Hospital Records. Alma Lohmeyer Funeral Home. Interred in Maple Park Cemetery January 7, 1929.

Newspaper article gave the same birth date as I found on the passport. I do not know where the birth date of April 7, 1838 came from, most likely an edit I accepted. The death certificate has same birth. I am using the July 4, 1837 birth date.
