The DOB conflict between that given in the obit & other records should be resolved by an interested researcher.

The Clayton County Death Certificate Index (this site) names her as Lizzie Auer 5/20/1858 - 11/07/1926. Mother's maiden name = Hemesley

Death Certificate image, familysearch.org, gives DOB = 5/30/1858 DOD = 11/07/1926
Burial: Garnavillo Catholic cemetery (St. Joseph's)

The 1885 Iowa State census Garnavillo twp. enumerates Edward (age 28) and his wife Lizzie (age 25), both born in Clayton county.
