Research Notes (Wife)
==========================================================================================

1910 census for MO, Jasper Co., Carterville City, V. 52; ED 59, indicates the above
information, but I had believed Gertrude to have been born in NY. Will need to
investigate. Further research indicates that Gertrude was indeed born in Ohio, but that
she may have been born in 1875 or 1876. More research needed. Her tombstone says 1877.
The record of birth of Gertrude and David's first and second child says that Gertrude
was born in Ohio. So does her death certificate.
Family Bible page says 25 October 1875.

Search in progress to check every Ohio county for any and all Gertrude Browns born
between 1874 and 1877. Should possibly search Braun as well.
