Family panel: father Henry Delancey Kishpaugh (b. 1829, mem. 14115308); spouse Andrew J. Cooper (1855–1911, mem. 14967131); siblings Clarence Wilbur Kishpaugh (1858–1913, mem. 92779549), Annie Eliza Kishpaugh Willett (1865–1938, mem. 13787347), Charles Kishpaugh (1867–1896, mem. 14115306).

The sibling list was read only as far as Charles; all_subjects_parsed: false records that more may follow. No mother appears in the captured panel, though [C.86] names an Elizabeth Kishpaugh [p.1796].

It SETTLES the conflict — and 1885 wins

[p.1794] carried two irreconcilable readings, fifteen years apart:

source	said
[L.159], the klSmith tree	d. 1885
[D.554] 1900 + [D.357] 1910, as read	d. between 1900 and 1910

This memorial gives 7 Jan 1885 with a day, and an age of 28 that checks against a birth of 9 Feb 1856 (she was 28 years, 10 months, 29 days — consistent). ⇒ the tree was right, and the census-derived window was wrong.

What went wrong on the census side is recorded rather than quietly dropped. [D.554]'s marital-condition column was read as "M" (married) at full-page scale, and that reading — together with "married 24 years" — is what produced the 1900×1910 window. It cannot stand: [G.508] shows Andrew J. had a second wife, Mary E. Hendershot, who herself died in 1894, so by June 1900 he was a twice-widowed man. [D.554]'s marital column needs re-reading at zoom, and whatever it says, the 1900×1910 window is dead.

And "married 24 years" in 1900 can no longer corroborate [C.86]'s April 1875 marriage the way this catalog has been using it — the figure now has to describe a marriage that ended in 1885.

What else it gives

Her father's middle name: DELANCEY. [C.86] gave only "Henry D Kishpaugh"; [p.1795] can now carry the full form.
Her birthplace: Green Township — the same township she married and raised her family in.
Three siblings, none with person files: Clarence Wilbur, Annie Eliza (Willett), Charles.
She is buried at Tranquility — with her husband ([G.508]), her son Grant ([G.504]), her daughter-in-law Eva ([G.506]) and her granddaughter Esther ([G.505]).
