    • The year of the marriage has been reported as either 1906 or 1907. For the following 6-8 years, Fred and Pearl farmed in Wawota, Saskatchewan, Canada. Their first child was born in Canada. The family then moved to a farm near Ankeny, Iowa. Pearl's obituary states that this was about 1916, but it seems likely that it happened earlier; the couple's second child was born in 1914 at Ankeny.

           The transcription gave the year of death as 1964, but this is not consistent with birth in 1881 and death at the age of 80 years. Further, her husband, who died in October 1964, survived Pearl. I have therefore changed the year of Pearl's death in the transcription to 1961; I believe this is correct.
