Death Certificates
Death Certificate of Gannaway Mary Herring
26 Jan 1843 - 10 Jan 1935. She was my great grandaunt.

Notes	On February 13, 1870, Mary E. married George W. Gannaway in Callaway County Mo. Database: Callaway County, Missouri Marriages, 1870-1922 Groom Bride Marriage Date Volume/Page George W. Gannaway Miss Mary Herring 13 Feb 1870 C243 In the 1870 census, taken 4 months after they were married, it shows Mary and George living in the city of Fulton. However, it shows their ages a bit different than they actually were. They both should have been about 26 years old in 1870, however, his age is listed as 23 and hers as 19. On the 1880 census, the ages are correct. On the 1900 census, George and Mary are living in the city of St. Louis. It's hard to read, but it does show their ages as 56, which would be consistent with other sources. Mary signed her sister Georgianna's death certificate, giving her address as 7509 Wise Ave. St. Louis, in 1913. Death certificate gives date of birth as Jan. 26, 1849, but this is not correct. Information on death certificate was given by son Martin O. Gannaway, 7469 Wise Ave., St. Louis. She died in the Manchester Home, St. Louis. Martin did know the names and birthplaces of her parents. Death certificate gives place of burial simply as Fulton, Missouri. Her obituary states she was buried "in the family cemetery south of Fulton". This would be Herring #1 cemetery. There is no headstone there for her, either she never had one or it was destroyed.
