The Comstock book has Narcissa's birth wrong. It has 1 Aug 1860. In 1900, Narcissa herself said she was born in December of 1859 which agrees with the information on her Death Certificate below.
Found in Missouri Death Certificates index:
Narcissus Comstock, lived at 1960 Spencer, Springfield, MO. She was born 16 Dec 1859 and died 22 Aug 1920 at 60 years, 8 months, 6 days. She had chronic nephritis and heart disease. She was a widow. L. B. Comstock [presumably her son] was the informant for the death certificate. Her father given as Trina/Tuna Fondren [perhaps should have been Fine - maybe the handwriting is just awful], mother unknown. Actually she was in the household of Ambrose Fondren in 1870. She was buried Danforth Cemetery on the 25th.
