  • Notes 
    • Her birthday is correct in that she, along with 2 other siblings, were born years after their father died. Her mother simply listed her dead husband as the father. Her real paternity is unknown.

      She appears in the 1910 Federal Cenus in Spencer, IA, living with her mother and sister Emma in the house of Francis A. Cady.

      With her siblings, she was raised by her aunt and uncle, Julia Nancy Puffer and George Olmstead. Some records show her with the Olmstead surname, but she's a Puffer, sort of.
