The birth date given on in this article was the same as the birth date for her mother--an impossibility. I have located census information and corrected the birth date, revised the article to clarify the relation between the two women, and added the small amount of additional information I was able to find.

I think the name of this article should be changed to include "Jr". Am writing here to invite discussion.

I am not certain that the photograph here is of the daughter rather than the mother. The source is the Library of Congress--it is clear there that the identification comes from what is written on the negative without independent information. If the date of 1915 is correct, Mary Stewart Cutting the novelist would have been 64 and the daughter 36--which is consistent with this being the daughter. So I have left the image despite the uncertainty. Jmidgaze (talk) 00:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have searched multiple sources about the suffrage movement in New Jersey, in an effort to find independent confirmation of the claim in the NYT obituary that MSC Jr was 'prominent'. She is not mentioned in Reclaiming Lost Ground by McGoldrick and Crocco, for example. The statement remains, with a note to the obituary. No objection was made to moving the article to a title that includes JR and I have done that. Jmidgaze (talk) 20:13, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
