Re: Sue Munday wasn't 10, she was 16

So how reliable is the Sue Munday interview? In one part she states she was the youngest, at a time she was age 16. I see in another part of the interview, practically in her next breath, she mentions the three Anderson girls, all three of whom appear to have been younger than her. Other accounts mention just two Anderson girls in the jail.

One interesting footnote--after Centralia a year later, Jane and Mary (Mollie) Anderson were rearrested and held for expulsion beyond Union lines. Has anybody checked the census for accurate ages on them?
