Manazarta
[gyara sashe | gyara masomin]- ↑ Slocum gave her birthdate as August 30, 1890 on her 1915 application for a United States passport. However, August 30, 1885 is the date given on her first marriage license application, and this date matches her age (25) as given in the 1910 federal census; via Ancestry. She was teaching voice in Chicago in 1903, which also points to a birthdate in the mid-1880s at the latest.
