[Genealib] An aside RE: Census Definition

[Comanche Public Library]

An interesting example of this circumstance appears at Comanche, Texas in a gravestone inscription rather than as an example in the Census.  The marker of "J. M. Holmsley, consort of Araminta Holmsley, d. 28 April 1881, age 42 years, 11 months, 24 days" appears on a handsome contemporary granite shaft. On the side of this marker is "Araminta Holmsley, August 9, 1847, March 2, 1933".  There were  several children in the family that Mrs. Holmsley reared alone.
