• Notes

  I've summarized what they show for her birth year. The 1920 Census says she was 93. If she was 93 in 1920 then she was ~96 (not 98) when she died in 1923. I suspect they knew a birthday, the day she died and thought they knew her age. The obituary writer filled in the blanks. I would bet the was born in 1827 and was 96 when she died on 20 February, 1923 1850 ~1827 1860 ~1827 1870 ~1828 1880 ~1827 1900 ~1828 1920 ~1827 Here is a copy of her obit. The Washington Democrat Saturday, February 24, 1923 Page 4 Daviess County, Indiana Mrs. Scholastic McGuire The following account of the death of Mrs. Scholastic McGuire has been contributed to this paper: Mrs. Scholastic McGuire, 98 years and 7 days old, widow of Peter McGuire, the oldest pioneer in Daviess County, passed away February 20th at the home of J.

She was married to William Brown November 24th, 1846, and to this union were born six children, three of whom are living: Joseph Brown, Christopher, Ill., Mrs. J.W. Williams and Mrs. J. W.
