     Kitzmiller died before 1910.¹ She was born before 1910.¹ She was the daughter of Eldridge Preston Kitzmiller and Elizabeth Jane Jackson.¹
Note: This existence of this child is based on a literal interpretation of the 1910 census, where a "1" is shown in the column on Elizabeth's line, entitled "Mother of how many children". There is no entery in the next column, entitled "Number now living", which should have been a "0" for a deceased child. Another reasonable interpretation of the same listing is that Eldridge responded to the enumerator's question with a "one", based on his son Lee who had been born and died in Macoupin County. In the second interpretation, there was no child of Elizabeth Jackson born prior to 1910. DLB 2019.
