Research note · 9 Aug 2026
AUDITED 9 Aug 2026 - IDENTITY SPLIT: this person is 'Mrs. Henry Scott Hollis' of Warren, Arizona, and the Wilson marriage formerly recorded here belongs to a DIFFERENT Arkansas-born Josie (see the placeholder person now holding family F175's wife slot). Evidence: (1) Bisbee Daily Review 17 Jul 1915 p. 6, her father [191]'s death notice - 'Passes Away While on Visit to Mrs. Henry Scott Hollis' (register K139); (2) BDR 26 Nov 1916 p. 11 - 'Mrs. J. B. Bond of Little Rock, Ark. is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Hollis of Warren'; (3) 1920 census, Warren, ED 37, Cochise Co. AZ, hh 157 sheet 6B - wife Josephine B Hollis b. Arkansas, father b. PENNSYLVANIA, mother b. ARKANSAS, matching [191] (b. Gettysburg PA) and [192] (b. Little Rock AR), while the Kansas 'Josie C Wilson' on the same census day shows father b. GEORGIA, mother b. MISSISSIPPI (FamilySearch ark 1:1:MCRN-9G4 and 1:1:MFXV-ZMC, register K144); (4) GenealogyBank obituary index - 'Mrs Josephine Bond Hollis' d. 26 Feb 1962 Whittier CA, obit Arkansas Democrat 5 Mar 1962, son Robert S Hollis (ark 1:1:Q5SP-KZBQ); (5) the 1915 notice names ONE surviving daughter, Mrs. Hollis. Her birth is kept at Jul 1877 per the 1900 census; the former day-precise 15 Jul 1877 derives from the Neodesha KS gravestone age arithmetic (56Y 9M 23D from d. 8 May 1934) and moved with the Kansas facts. The Wilson marriage of 24 Aug 1892 Bentonville, the Kansas residences 1920/1925/1930, the 8 May 1934 Neodesha death, the Neodesha burial and all five Wilson-family photos were re-owned to the placeholder. Decisive record still owed for the Kansas woman: her 1934 Kansas death certificate. Full case: db-write-queue.md 9 Aug 2026 entry; agent-report-bond-hollis-wilson-split-2026-08-09.md.
