  • (ancestry.com has this age to be 16. possibly the illegible word is grandchild. But for Mary E and Ida to be sisters is not logical with Mary being marked as married. Ah . . . The married indicator must be an error. I believe Mary & Ida have been counted twice; one with their mother and again at their grandmother's home!! See LDS record below:
