The Missouri State Archives Pre-1910, has the death record for Celeste Harrigan, died 11 Jun 1907, aged 2 years, 11 months, of broncho-pneumonia. The age gives her a birth date of about 11 Jul 1904. This date conflicts with the birth date of 5 Jan 1904 for her brother John J. Harrigan. It is suspected that the age at death given in the death record is in error and she was possibly born 1903 or earlier. Note the gap in births of Lillian and John, 1897-1904.
