Vinnie ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

I can find no birth, marriage, or death documents for Vinnie, which probably is a nickname. The 1910 US Census record shows her married to Curtis and living at the home of his parents and this is the only census record that shows her birth location as Illinois instead of Kansas as the other census records show.

While Curtis E. Long is buried at Baughman Cemetery, she apparently was either buried elsewhere, has no visible grave marker, or remarried following his death.

One researcher shows her surname as Wilson but provides no source citations to support it.

The name of Vinnie may be a nickname for Virginia.
