    Every piece of Family Tree data dated the spring of 2010 with "FamilySearch" as the contributor is simply the initial import into Family Tree from older databases such as the Ancestral File and the IGI. These older database generally did not include any sources, even if there was a source in the original submission.

    All you can do is treat this as a vague hint as to where to start searching. But typically, this specific of a date is going to be pretty accurate.

    It looks like someone found her in the 1920 census in Oklahoma. I'd review that record first. Then search for her in the 1930 and 1940 census records. Then see if enough of the 1950 census is posted to find her there. You may have to go directly to the original images and hope she is living in the same place in 1950 that she was in 1940. From there, you can probably assumed she died in the same location as she was living in the 1950 census and start looking for 1960 death records for that location.
