Death Certificate File#26250 filed on October 22, 1926, in Marion County, Kentucky states her being born February 28, 1926. But below that her age at time of death is being 1 year six months and 0 days old. The informant's name was listed as "Freeman" but that was crossed out. The name listed was A.G. Crews. That more than likely was her grandfather, Alfred Greaves Crews. More than likely her birth year is in error and should be listed as 1925.

BABE DIES OF BURNS STANFORD
Stepping backward while playing in the kitchen of her home, Pauline, 18-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Crews, of near Bradfordsville, fell into a pan of hot water that had been left momentarily on the floor and was so severely burned she died a few hours later in her mother's arms.
The Interior Journal from Stanford, Kentucky newspaper published on Wed. Sep 8, 1926 · Page 3, listed a very similar story listing Pauline as being 18 months old also.
A picture of her tombstone might be helpful to resolve this.
