Notes:

Did she die young, or could she have been listed as Mary on the 1880 census?

Notes:

Margaret Holligsworth somes him born in 1881, and census records also seem to indicate he was 7 years older than his wife, Ola. Kay Parker McCary's transcription of Rosevine Cemetery instead has his year of birth, presumably in error, as 1888.
