Matilda Bailey’s death certificate lists her as single and the daughter of James Bailey and Mary McKensie. Mary J. Evans is the informant on the death certificate, so it must be the same person. I don’t see how someone who is single and the daughter of James Bailey could be Grover’s aunt, so maybe she is Mary’s aunt.
