Citation Notes: 
Fannie's gravestone lists her birth year as 1831, but her "US Pioneer and Immigrant Files" cite it as 1832. According to an obituary she was 86 when she died in May 1918. If her birthday was September 1832 this would have made her 85 at the time of her death. However, she would have been 86 if she was born in September 1831 and died in May 1918. Thus, her birth date here is listed as 1831. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/130193658/fannie-wallace-reading
