If I can't find out from the Woods Funeral Home where Nancy was born I need to

________residence Fairbank,Buchanan,Iowa
If I use the year 1898 as birth year the next child Levi is born 8 months later
The headstone gave birth year as 1897 which could be a typo in the book

Need to see about a birth record in Buchanan or Fayette
