      Caroline Augusta Starkebaum's preference for her nickname, "Lena," was well-known; she hardly ever used Caroline.

    4. [S54] Curtis and Alice (McNeer) Starkebaum, Genealogical descendancy charts of the Starkebaum family (1984 and 1989).
      Caroline (Lena) Starkebaum died on 9 June 1966. She was buried in Lexington. On one chart the year of death is reported as 1915. Since her first child's year of birth was consistently reported as 1918, the year of death in 1915 is probably in error.
