I have at least one of those.

I know her year of birth in her obituary is incorrect. Everyone in the family knew she added 2 years to her birth so she could get married at 16 up in Alberta in 1929. Her story was featured in a book on Alberta weddings, and how marrying a guy who was the chauffeur to a provincial senator and cattle lord had its perqs. Her family didn't have a penny to its name.

Thank goodness someone up there told me what was up, or I would have been pulling out my hair assuming she and her one sister (she had 6) were twins. Not so! :D
