It is on a death certificate, a female. Any guesses?

Martha

The Mormons found a birth record, viz.

Line 19. How do I know? I know Vincennes, Indiana and birth year ~1865 and dad is Ben.

I dropped a line to two schools he attended.

Not clear how much more I wantto know. The guy had a daughter Gladys. Curious about her.
