| Note | She Death reg. Michigan, Isabella County, Broomfield Twp. Mary M. Winney, age 66 yrs., 11 mos., 12 dys. born July 5, 1846, died June 17, 1913. Married. Parent of 12 children of whom 9 are living. Born Canada. Name of parents or their places of birth unknown. Burial Decker Cemetery June 19, 1913. Informant A.H. Winnie, RFD 3, Remus, Michigan (the word Remus is poorly written.) According to the will of Charles Person, Mary Person's middle name was Malinda, so spelled. Amos Winnie gives the year of Mary's birth as 1846. Based on the 1851 census and her marriage registration, 1848 is rather more likely. A photo of the Main stone in Decker cemetery isn't completely clear, but does appear to read 5 July 1848 for a date of birth. June 17, 1913, is shown as Mary's date of death. Considering the order in which the children are listed in the 1851 census at Hamilton, and the collision of birth dates if the dates of gravestones are accurate, then the gravestone inscriptions are generally followed here. This may not be entirely factual. |
