Where the Sources Disagree

• birth date — 27 November 1902 (Maddox Family History and Maddox Family History Charts) · 27 October 1902 (Drift Run United Methodist Cemetery Index, Maddox surname group) — the chronicle uses 27 November 1902.

  The cemetery file combines old burial records, earlier readings, and a 2001 reading; it does not identify which layer supplies Ada's date. Both months remain unresolved.
