Note: the obituary give the birth date as May 18, 1875. The headstone uses May 19, 1875.

First wife of Edward Hayes MENEELY.

Note: The 1915 obituary contains a major 'typo' in name that is important to note. The correct married surname is MENEELY, not 'MANEELY' as used in the obituary.

Also, the obituary refers to her maiden name as "DAVIDSON"; however,there are corrections to this name in entries in marriage books at the Fairfield Public Library that indicate that the correct maiden name was DAVISSON.
----------
Marriage to Edward H MENEELY took place on September 1, 1908 in Fairfield, Iowa.
