| Death of a sister | Blanche V Foster March 19, 1902 (Age 19 years) Shared note: There is a descrepancy between the official Death Certificate and the photo of Blanche's tombstone. The Death Certificate states she died on March 19, 1902 and was buried on May 21, 1902. However, the tombstone photo shows that she died on Dec 31, 1902 after 3 months & 13 days of life. Both records correctly infer at March 18, 1901 birth date; but, both show conflicting death dates. |
