Research notes for Tillie

Undoc'd source puts death at 1889.
The Undoc'd source has been pretty accurate.

On DOB...If she was 21 when she got married on 7 AUG 1888 and she was still 21 when she died 3 MAY 1889, that means she was born BTW 4 MAY 1867 and 7 AUG 1867.

So, Tillie died ~9 months after marriage suggesting, at least, it could have been death from child birth.

I have been unable to find any additional marriages for Robert before his death in 1901.
