Note that the 1910 census says that Sam and Rena have been married 11 years. But that would mean they were married a year already in 1900. Yet in 1900 Rena is still Single in her parents home. Their oldest child Glen is reported as 10 years old, but if the 1900 census is correct, they could not have married before 1 June 1900. So unless he was conceived out of wedlock Glen was not born in 1900.
Rena lived until 1970. But in 1930, when her husband Sam Holt died, his birth certificate reports him as widowed and his previously deceased wife as Vivian Holt.
Social Security Death Index
Rena Holt
[Nancy Lurena Buckley]
Born 4 Jan 1883
Died 15 Aug 1970
Last Residence Vallejo, Solano, California 94590
SSN 571-80-7502 issued California (1966)
The SSDI says her residence at the time of death was in Solano County, California, but her Oklahoma death certificate reports that she died in Marietta, Love County, Oklahoma. The date also differs, with the SSDI saying 15 Aug 1970 and the death certificate saying 1 Aug 1970. Could these two Rena Holts with such similar death dates? The SSN is the same on the death certificate as on the SSDI record.

I thought the wording of the cause of death was interesting. How does Senility cause Nephritis (irritation or disorder of the kidneys)?
