Mary Louisa Banks, "Lizzie"

Washington Death Certificates gives her birth year 1860 (age 70y 2m 25d) and 1900 United States Census gives her birth year May 1860.

The correct year must be 1859 because her brother Peter was born 7. August 1860 and so she can not be born in May 1860. In 1930 she must be 71 years old and her estimated birthday was 21. May 1859.
