John,
Was Amanda married to Isaac Kennedy? If so contradictory data can be found on FamilySearch.
1. Marriage August 19, 1891 in Odebolt, Sac, Iowa. Amanda Peterson is said to be 20 years old. If she was born in November or December the year must 1870. FamilySearch, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XJCP-2FP.
2. Census 1900. Amanda Kennedy is said to be born in December 1871. FamilySearch, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9LX-YN5.
3. Census 1910 which took place April 27. It is said that Amanda was 39 years old at last birthday. If it is correct and she was not born before that date the year of birth must be 1870. Immigrated 1889. FamilySearch, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MG9C-WY5.
4. According to the obituary (see above) was Amanda born November 18, 1872. If she immigrated at the age of 15 the immigration year must have been 1887 or 1888. Or shall the date of birth be November 18, 1871? A short notice in Svenska Amerikanaren says that Amanda Kennedy was 40 years old when she died February 13, 1912.
An exact date of birth date may seem very reliable but is not necessarily true. So try to keep an open mind and do not get caught on that. You can search for Amanda here, https://www.ancestry.se/cs/se/namnindex. But there are a lot of Amandas...
