Note: buried in Buffalo, N.Y.
We had her name spelled Fanny in our records but Charlotte Griesel tells us that it was actually spelled Fannie.
Our records also indicate that her niece, Frances McConeghy (Philo), was also called Fannie (spelled correctly with -ie) although her nephew Robert's family always called her "Aunt Frances"
Charlotte Griesel has her Grandmother Fannie's birth date as July 11, 1865 not 1864 as we did. (1900census backs her date up)
also she had her date of death as April 10, 1925, not March 10 as we had. (Laura Larrabee McConeghy had March 10)
Her marriage date and place is from Charlotte, we had no information. (1900 census verifies the year)
Also Charlotte has her middle name as Smithers, we had no middle name information.
It seems likely that her legal name was actually Frances not Fannie

Matilda, (daughter), age 4, at home, born in Pennsylvania, parents of foreign birth
Robert, (son), age 10/12, at home, born in August in New York, parents of foreign birth
(also living with them were 3 other non-relations, probably boarders, 3 different surnames but names are difficult to read,
1 RR Laborer age 60, 1 RR laborer age 45, 1 female age 31 keeping house, all were born in Ireland,
the oldest man and the woman could not read or write.)
On the first page the McConeghy surname is difficult to read, it looks like McConagr/v or McConager or McConafer, on the second page it is looks more like McConethy. It is misindexed as Mc conager(Unknown) or Mc conaghr (Unknown) in ancestry.com's index
on genealogy.com it is indexed as McConafer.
wife Matilda's age appears to be listed as 49 but she should have been 47 so it is possibly just sloppy writing.

1880 US Census Larrabee Village, Eldred Township, McKean County, Pennsylvania, ED #87, Dwelling #558, family # 580, page #58,
sheet 274-B, enumerated July 16, 1880, ancestry.com image # 58 of 67.
Matilda McConeghey (sic), head, widow, age 58, occ: keeping house, born in Ireland, parents born in Ireland
John K. , son, age 27, single, occ: RR Brakeman, born in Delaware, parents born in Ireland
Daniel R.(sic), son, age 25, single, occ: RR Express Manager, born in Ireland, parents born in Ireland

Fannie, daughter, age 16, single, at home, attended school within the year, born in PA, parents born in Ireland
Matilda, daughter, age 13, single, at school, born in PA, parents born in Ireland
(note: age discrepancy on widow Matilda's age again. If she had been 36 in July 1860 (census) she should have been 56 in July 1880 (census) the birthdate we have for her would have made her 37 in 1860 and 57 in 1880 not 58.)
Census ages are sometimes confusing - the 1880 census instructions say to enter the age at last birthday prior to June 1 1880. The census year officially ended May 31, so they wanted the age of people withing the census year, but in this case they were enumerating
90 days later than that so who knows what they were actually recording) Other than the mother, the ages are all about as expected plus or minus one year.
