Vandenbos, Jr. (15 Dec. 1928 --ashes), and Jacques Vandenbos (22 Aug. 1935 --ashes) Rachael McCrimmon was b. 26 Jun 1865 according to the old Grogan family chart (which included information from an old family Bible), But her birth date is given as 16 June (no year) on her death certificate. The old chart shows she was married Nov. 4, 1899. All records indicate that she was born in Canada. Since the family was living in Minnesota in 1860 and 1870, so she must have been born on a trip back to Ontario. She is enumerated in the 1870 census as being 4 years old. However, her 1919 death certificate indicated that she was 48, making her birth year 1871 (which must be erroneous). She was born in 1866, making her 54 years old at her death. **** OBITUARY: "VANDENBOS--In this city [Oakland], November 11, 1919, Rachel, beloeved wife of Jacques Vandenbos, mother of Mary A., Jacques L., Jr., and Charles Vandenbos, a native of Canada, aged 48 years.
