Her headstone has died in 1918, but her great grand dau Joan has papers to support the year 1917. A copy of the old family bible with the date orginially wrote in as 1 Feb 1917, then at some point someone wrote over it to be 1918. But! Jesse Lee Tow had his draft declarations signed on 5 Jun 1917 and was in Kenna ,NM with his 3 children listed as single (not sure why he is listed as single and not widowed). I am changing death date to 1917 due to this.
