      Her birth certificate shows 1906 as her birth year. Her death certificate shows 1905. The 1910 census shows her as three years old, suggesting 1906 as the earliest year that she could have been born. Nevertheless, if she was 14 at the time of the 1920 census, she would have had to have been born in 1905.

      Her son Howard was the informant for her death certificate. She died as Mae E Peterson, the widow of Rhodes. Her occupation had been smock girl at Honeywell. She died from a stroke and a heart attack.
