The obituary for Ms. Beaton was published in the July 27, 1961 edition of the Kansas City (MO) Times.

On the 1900 federal census, it was shown that 9 children had been born to this child's mother but that only 8 still survived. It is possible that young Maggie died in childhood sometime before 1900. Missouri birth records also indicate a son being born to the McKenzie couple on this same date - July 13, 1884. This could be merely a clerical error or the son could have been a stillborn twin brother. Whichever, there is no male McKenzie shown on the permanent record of births in Missouri on this date.

According to Missouri's "Permanent Record of Births", twins, a boy and a girl, were born to John and Maggie McKenzie in Moreau township, Cole County, Mo. on July 13, 1884. To wit (for the boy, first):

It is believed that the child's name "Maggie" may have later been changed to "Mary Dulcie". It is unknown what happened to the twin boy if, indeed, he ever existed. Perhaps he died shortly after birth which might explain why he never made it to the "official" records. If anybody can explain all these discrepancies, please let me know. T.N.
