Mary was apparently missed in the 1920 US Census. If she was living with her parents as she was in all other years, then her name was left off by the enumerator. If she was living elsewhere, then her household was completely missed.
---------------------------------

Mary used the name of "Mamie" throughout her life. The name of "Mary" only appears in the 1930 census. Her gravestone indicates Mamie.
