Notes for Gertrude Biggs
The SSDI lists Gertrude Foutz, born 14 Nov 1897, died Sep 1984, last residence Kirtland, San Juan Co., New Mexico.
Her gravestone, a double one with Leroy, is inscribed Gertrude B. Foutz, 1900 - 1984. Her memorial on FindaGrave.com has her birthdate as 11 Oct 1900, which seems more consistent with census records. (She was listed as age 9 in 1910 and age 18 in 1920, and not at all in 1900.)
