I'm pretty sure, but not positive, about this one[edit]

@Billinghurst: Here's a Findagrave with the same birth year and maiden name (Sears) as the woman listed here. Is there a way to confirm it's the same person? If it is, she would've married a Rouch and moved from Maine to Cleveland, OH later in life. Wikidata item created, here's the yearbook entry: https://archive.org/details/mirror190000unse/page/n213/mode/2up PseudoSkull (talk) 19:55, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is a viaf http://viaf.org/viaf/4160665051303361292 -- not sure it is the same. (Needed a break)--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:09, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@PseudoSkull: Nope, 1880-1958. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:41, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would go for 1880 for birth year as she provided that detail, whereas the report of death is a different source and they can get it wrong by a year easily
