The Thirteen Towns, Looking Back, Sixty Years Ago, April 6, 1928
Mahlon E. Carver died at his home in Sletten Township.
Alternate birth years for Mahlon have been listed as 1865 (1910 census), and 1868 (which would conflict with the birth info for Charles Bartlett, the youngest brother who died young.  Even if the birth year for Charles Bartlett was changed to 1869 - there's not enough time for pregnancy between Mahlon and Charlie.) 1865 is a possibility if there was only a year between Bertha and Mahlon and Margaret got pregnant within three months after Bertha's birth, since both Bertha and Mahlon were born in May.
