Mironette "Nettie" (Pettit) Walker's grave stone gives her birthyear as 1860. The 1880 U.S. Census of Utah gives Sylvester Walker's wife (incorrectly identified as "Laura") as 25 years of age, indicating she was born about 1854 or 1855. If she had been born in 1860, she would have been only 13 at the time of her marriage. Too early, even in an era when marriages occurred earlier than they do today. Her Utah Death Certificate gives her birth as 1848 but the day and month are indicated "unknown." The certificate gives her age at the time of death as "about 87." The death certificate states that her death occurred on 26 Nov 1935 in Provo, Utah County, Utah. From Robert R. King
