Research Notes:
The grave marker, census records, and birth record suggest that Catharine Brenizer (1855-1925) and Sarah Lucy Hanson (1842-1930) were children of Samuel and Rebecca Brenizer. The census and death records suggest conflicting years of birth for Catharine (1850 versus 1855). We suspect that Catharine's death record had the wrong year of birth.
