Death Certificate for Asenath Smith Long

Select the image for a larger view
  1933 - Death certificate has Asenath's birth date as Oct 9, 1860. However, Oct 9 was also the death date, which is correct. I think daughter Clara did not know her mother's birthday. The 1900 Census has May as the birth month which is "probably" the correct month.
