*** The year of birth on Barbara's headstone and birthdate in obituary are incorrect. The immigration records for this family are dated Sept. 1881, Barbara is listed as one. She is five years old in the 1885 Nebraska census and on the 1900 census they have her date of birth as Feb 1880. There is little doubt she was born in 1880 or 1881.
