Note: Mahala J. was 66 years old and living with her son Henry 42, daughter Roxy 38 and a cousin or nephew, Cecil E. Fowler, aged nine. Perhaps Henry became head of the household on the family farm after his father's death.
Note: On her tombstone her age of death was 75y 1m 21d. No death date was given; however, knowing that she was born Jan. 5, 1844, we can estimate her death at March 1919--and probably in Lawrence Co., Ohio.
