Nolia Belle "Noly" Springfield DYER's tombstone states she was born in 1876, the 1900 census states she was born June 1878; she was age 30 in 1910; age 41 in 1920; and age 51 in 1930 and 61 years in 1940. I'm pretty sure her tombstone was ordered by her oldest son Omar Dyer (my grandfather) and he may have guessed. Her TX. D/C states she was born 27 June 1878 and was signed by son Omar A Dyer. Wm R Martin (28 Aug 2012).
Nolia had three sisters and one brother, her younger sister Georgia Virginia "Jodia" Springfield married William Joshua Dyer (24 May 1896) older brother of Alfred Patrick Dyer, whom Nolia married, a month later on 24 June 1896 in Lavaca County, TX. They had 7 children.
