Ages of Children continued
[edit]Hello! I saw your post about the ages of the children. I can work on this and sort through some documents/obituaries/etc to confirm the ages of the children! PleasantPossum (talk) 12:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello all! I made some changes to the ages of Betty, Sylvia, and Joe.
- Betty Sodder was born on March 4, 1940, according to https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/17174320/betty-dolly-sodder. This would mean that she was 5 years old at the time of the fire, but the original article said she was 6.
- Sylvia Sodder was born on March 5, 1942, according to her obituary. She would have been 3 at the time of the fire, but the article listed her as being 2.
- Joe Sodder was born on September 4, 1924, according to https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/219649842/joseph-samuel-sodder. The article lists him as being 24 at the time of the fire and 21 at the time of Sylvia's birth. However, according to his birth date, he would have been 17 at the time of his sister's birth and 21 at the time of the fire.
- My theory is that perhaps there was a slight mix up between Joe and his brother, John, who was 22 at the time of the fire.
- Let me know if anyone has questions, comments, or disagreements with these edits! PleasantPossum (talk) 13:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, one problem is that we don't consider Find A Grave to be a reliable source. Daniel Case (talk) 04:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
