*Reflecting as if he was married to his 1st wife? I don't see another Illinois marriage for him.
**Maybe saying that she was married for 56 years? Ephraim's with her in 1900. They were married in 1851. So, maybe he passed 1907ish?
Also, as you can see, Mary's age & number of surviving children is off from the 1900.
