Note from Betty Kitchen: Her age at the time of death appears like this on her death certificate too (65y 11m 28d), but on the death certificate it gives her birthday as August 15, 1842. Mathematically it cannot compute, but I do not know which fact on the death certificate is correct--her age? or her birthday? No informant was listed.
