Anna C. Cairns ¹

  General Notes:

No definitive birth document can be found for Anna. The closest thing that I have found is a reference to the birth of an unnamed daughter born on 24 Jul 1877 in Richland County, Ohio to John and Helen Cairns.

Her alleged birth date of 4 Mar 1873 apparently comes from a short obituary article published by The Mansfield News on 31 Oct, 1932 and is referenced on the memorial page found on the Find-A-Grave web site.

The official death document with the State of Illinois references her birth date as 4 Mar 1878 but the information does not provide the name of the informant.
