Story

Lloyd and Nancy were married on July 13, 1886; Lloyd was 27 and Nancy was 26. To this union were born five children: Thomas A. "Tommie" born May 27, 1887; James Walker "Jimmie" born October 18, 1889; Delta, the only girl, was born August 1, 1894. In 1896 another boy was born but died as an infant. Rufus Fred, the baby of the family, was born October 18, 1899.

Lloyd and Nancy's second child, James W. Sanders, was born October 18, 1889, and died February 6, 1989 [sic], just eight and one-half months short of the CENTURY MARK. James, Jimmie, as he was known, and his wife had no children.

Notes

The story is a good starting point; however, it has some glaring inconsistancies. First, a birth and death date of 1889 and 1899 would, make James a child. In constrast, the census records shown below shows a second born son, James, being born about 1881 and 20 years old in 1910. That makes James an adult and old enough to have a wife.
