Death of a granddaughterNancy A Shaw
before 1900 (Age 79 years)

Note: The 1900 Census states that Nancy J Pruitt had 6 children but only one (Samuel) was living in 1900. This suggests that Nancy A Shaw died before 1900. Further, her husband (William J Oglesby) was listed as a Widow in the 1900 Census for Nancy's brother, Samuel.
Death of a granddaughterCelece Rosetta Pruitt
before 1900 (Age 79 years)

Shared note: In the 1900 Census, Neoma Angeline Pruitt (nee Beckham) reported that she had 8 children with 5 of the children still living. We can find records showing the 5 living children: Minerva Jane, Lillie Pearl, Maudie, Lonnie Franklin, and William Lester. That would suggest that Celece Rosetta Pruitt, Jim Robert Pruitt, and Infant Son Pruitt were deceased before 1900. None of these children showed up in the 1880 Census. Further, it is assumed they were born after the parent's marriage date of 1875.
