*Transcribed for genealogy purposes; I am not related to the person(s) mentioned.

Note: Buried in Lot 2nd.213 with her parents, sister Nelda, and twin children of her brother Peter L. O'NEILL. Her mother's maiden name has been noted as MALONEY in Nelda's obituary and the 1925 Jefferson County, IA, state census for Nelda; it has been noted as MALONEY in Peter's obituary and MAHONEY in the 1925 Jefferson County, IA, census for him; at this point it is uncertain which is correct.

Her obituary notes her year of birth as 1907, however according to her gravestone and the Social Security Death Index, she was born in 1906.
