The reported birth date in 1900 matches the date of birth on her gravestone, which is only the year 1858. Her memorial on Find a Grave, however, originally reported her birth date as 18 July 1859. In February 2015, this was corrected to 1858 when I sent a comment. The date on the Texas Death Certificate (see below) is 18 July 1858. Thanks to Sandra Behne for the memorial on Find a Grave.
