    The handwriting for the date of death on the Providence, Rhode Island, death return for Harriet Malvin Horton is often misread as "Jun 27, 1881." However, a document in the city registrar's office clears up any confusion over the date as it contains the certification of the death recorded 16 FEB 1881 that the death occurred "in Providence, January 27th, 1881."
