Hattie Pauline Wacaster ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9}

  General Notes:

Her name and her various birth dates are conflicting. Some early documents apparently show her name as "Hattie Pauline" but she used only Pauline during her adult years. Her birth year has multiple possibilities but her gravestone indicates 5 Jul 1900 which technically would seem to be an impossibility because the 1900 census enumerated her on the 15th of July with an age of 2 while her parents were living at the home of her mother who had recently remarried. That 1900 census would seem to indicate a birth year of either 1897 or 1898.
