Grave listed in the A. C. Long Cemetery Herold, Braxton County, West Virginia, (2759137), in the most recent edition of the Braxton County Cemeteries books∼"There is a discrepancy with her year of birth. Death record & several census' give 1882 but she is listed as age 3 in the 1880 census. In 1900 she is living in a school for blind/deaf children & it gives her birth as 1880."
I firmly believe she was born April 1880 & the age was an error or written down as years instead of months. The census that year was taken in June, making her about 2-3 months old. It is apparent though she used 1882, which is what i have entered here for her.
