Mary's her daughter all right. Below is the obituary for Priscilla, from "The Higbee News" (5) From "The Higbee News" dated 14 July 1916--MRS. PRISCILLA THOMPSON DEAD--Mrs. Priscilla Thompson, 82 years of age died at 8:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Moberly, 703 Franklin St. The surviving relatives are two daughters, "Mrs. Thompson" Mrs. Elizabeth Dougherty of Granite City, Ill.; four sons; N.

A devoted mother and sister, she was true and loyal to her friends and her going away leaves wounds in many hearts.

Well, as pointed out, I mistyped. Born 11 Jun 1834 - that's 1800s, almost 200 years ago. Sorry..
