Name |
Jessie Minnie REESE |
Born |
21 Jun 1893 |
, Faribault County, Minnesota, United States |
- Death certificate indicates incorrect birth date of 21 Jun 1892. The correct date is 21 Jun 1893.
Jessie's death certificate, her obituaries, and other sources give her birth place as Winnebago, Minn.
The Bethany Lutheran Church membership register incorrectly gives her place of birth as Walden Township, Pope County, Minnesota. It was probably known that she grew up there, and it was assumed she was born there.
Although several sources give Jessie's place of birth as Winnebago, MN located in Faribault county, it is probably more precise that she was born at home on the family farm located in Winnebago City Township in Faribault county. The township has since been renamed Winnebago Township due to the obvious confusion it causes.
The Lashway book gives the incorrect birth date of 24 Jun 1893.
