Added by the Allamakee co. coordinator:

Conflicting with the county records is date of death given by Woodmansee: January 27, 1957. DOD of death given in her Postville Herald obit was also January 27. Note that Jan 11, 1957 was on a Friday and Jan 27, 1957 was on a Sunday. In this case, the "Official" record appears to be in error, rather than the obit and Woodmansee.
