Clara Trollinger
1901 - 1951 (50 years)-
Name Clara Trollinger Birth 25 Oct 1901 Stoney Creek, Caswell, NC - Clara's birth date of 20 Oct 1911 per her death certificate is probably incorrectly reported or written. Her day and month are probably correct. Her true birth year is probably 1901 which would conform to her marriage certificate where she was the person supplying that information.
Gender Female Death 15 Nov 1951 Caswell County, NC - Her death day is no doubt 16 which is recorded that way on her death certificate. The death day of 17 on her headstone is probably incorrect.
