GRID=124377295

Name:
As to how her youngest children could be born after George had died and still be listed as his children, "She simply listed that George was the father even though he had been dead for many years. Charlotte Gilbert Puffer, Stella's mother-in-law, did not feel that Stella was an 'appropriate' mother for her three legitimate children: Georgia Alice (1888), Cady (1889 - my grandfather) and Julia (1891) and so Charlotte took them to her daughter Julia Puffer Olmstead in Wisconsin. The three children were raised by Charlotte and Julia and her husband George Olmstead. George was later transferred to Idaho where he became Supervisor of the Railroad Company and Vice President of a bank." Sharon (granddaughter of Cady Puffer).

• Residence: Oct 1959, Resno, CA

Notes:

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

Yet, the Iowa State Dept of Health has on record her birth certificate which was an affidavit from her half-sister, Julia. Half-sister?? George, her father was married previously, in 1880, but had no recorded children by her. And to add further mystery, the affidavit states that George was 34 years old when Irma as born. Yet, he was actually dead. 34 years would have made him born in 1859, not 1851 like all records show.

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.
