Christian, Dilia E Wife F W 18 AR USA AR In the 1910 census,
Gladys' age looks like 0/12, which would mean she was not yet one month old. This seems to indicate that she was born the month of the census (I think April 15 was the actual census date), or in March, at least less than one month before the official census date. But the date of birth on her grave in Oakdale Cemetery gives her birth as 24 February 1910.

Since this is a full date, I am using this as the birth date. Perhaps the scrunched up writing in the census is meant to be 2/12. It is squeezed by the fraction above indicating the age of Ernest, 1 4/12 (1 year and 4 months), which carries into the line below. A bigger problem is that her gravestone says she died on 18 March 1910, over a month before this census record was entered!
