Husband's Notes
================================================================================
    BURIAL: Buried at Brown Cemetery Row36 fourth from last in row.
    Census states birth in Oct 1849 age 50 in 1900.

    Dates in Fitch book are apparently from Wayne County Cemetery
    inscriptions.
    The William Fitch book does not list Elenora, find copy of 1870 census.
    Also look at 1860 census.

    Elenora could be Henry's sister.

================================================================================
Wife's Notes
================================================================================
    BURIAL: Buried in Brown Cemetery Row 36 third from last in row. Phebe
    E. Fitch name as listed on tombstone.
    1900 census lists birth as Nov 1848. She may have shaved a few years off
    her age in later years.
    In 1900 census Phoebe lists her father as born in OH and her mother was
    born in IN
    Per 1910 census Father was born in Oh and mother was born in Indiana.

    The 1900 census taker has the total # of children wrong because Olive
    Grace has already left home. Per 1910 census 11 of 12 children were still
    living. No children born after 1900.

    Birth in 1900 census is listed as Nov 1848. This is four years different from
    birth date listed in Fitch Family book. Date as listed on tombstone is Nov.
    6, 1852.

================================================================================

    Per 1910 Census, they had been married for 35 years.
