Date and place of birth and death per her death certificate. I've been unable to find her in the 1850 census.

1860 Coles Co., Paradise Twp., IL, listed under Currey; 23 yrs. old, born in OH. A William Aker is living with the family. I believe it might be her brother. He's 20 and born in OH aslo

1870 still in same place. No William..

1880 still the same.

Per 1900 Fed. census she is living with her daugher Elizabeth in Moultrie Co., Illinois. Elizabeth is married to Arnie Gilbreath (shown as Gilbert on the census) and they have a daughter Lola (shown as Olla) age 5. There is also a 7 yr. old girl named Ruth Curry who is listed as a niece. Ruth is the daughter of Edward Clarkson Curry.

1920 census shows Drusilla at 341 Pleasant Ave., St. Paul, MN at the residence of her grandson-in-law, James Wagner and wife Lola, both 24. Also there is father-in-law Arnie Gilbreath, 47, and his wife, S. Elizabeth, age 44. She was living with her daughter, Emma Viola, and son-in-law, Charles C. Clark in Shelbyville at the time of her death. Her obituary said she had been blind for the past 15 years.

The 1920 census also says both her parents were born in Indiana, as does the 1900.
