Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 28, 1856 (SNAC; FemBio database; Integrated Authority File; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; Find a Grave; BnF authorities; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or in 1859 (Notable Women of Pennsylvania).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
