Talk:Florence Merriam Bailey

Birth place?
Kofalk identifies Locust Grove as the homestead of FAMB's grandparents, and that it is near Leyden, New York. She was born on the Homewood estate that her father built near Locust Grove. It's not clear that Locust Grove was ever an identifiable place, and hence whether it should be given as FAMB's birthplace. I'm inclined to change it to Leyden, but I will consult additional sources.Dgorsline (talk) 17:52, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

FAMB collected in A Believing People?
I find it odd that FAMB is listed as an author collected in Cracroft and Lambert's A Believing People. There is no mention of Mormonism, indeed of any participation in organized religion, on the the part of FAMB in Kolfalk's biography.

Birth name
Presumably her birth ("maiden") name was "Florence Augusta Merriam"? This should be in the article, and infobox. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:22, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

onesource tag
The article was tagged with onesource. The article primarily relies on Harriet Kofalk's monograph biography, No Woman Tenderfoot: Florence Merriam Bailey, Pioneer Naturalist, but it also incorporates material from contemporary obituaries and other sources. I doubt that most editors would fault Kofalk for verifiability or neutrality. I suggest removing the onesource tag. Dgorsline (talk) 12:20, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
