Notes
Birth
She was the wife of Andrew Jackson Spear (E.M Spear's father) and the mother of Edward McGraw Spear. No dates right now, but, she died at age 37. Apparently some medical malpractice may have been involved. If this was at at time when E.M. was about 13, and EM was born in 1864, her date of death would be roughly 1877...subtract her 37 years and get something like 1840 as a birth date?Census (family)
