NOTE - Vernie L. Wigner was living with her granduncle, James Francis Barr and wife. Her birth year of 1881 can not be correct as she was previously listed on the 1880 census. Some researchers claim her birth date was October of 1880 but that still could not be correct as the 1880 census was conducted in the early months of the year. Her correct birth date was September of 1879 and her age on the 1900 census should have been 20 instead of 18.
