1900, 1910, and 1920 U.S. Census: Christina and her husband Arthur are listed without children at Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Christina is cited as white with no Indian notation, is listed as born in Canada--except in 1910 when Washington is stated as her birth place, and--in only the 1900 Census--is described as having immigrated in 1878. Also in 1900, Christina's birth date is cited October 1867, but this was rewritten and is different from the date entered in the 1880 Census. Arthur is described a naturalized American (father born in England and mother born in Canada) born in Canada--who immigrated in 1884--and as a farmer (1900 and 1910) and as a horse rancher (1920). In 1920, her divorced brother George E. Fry (56) is living with her and her husband.

Buried in the Grandview Cemetery at Bonners Ferry, Idaho, with her parents Richard and Justine, brother George, sisters Julia and Katherine, her husband Arthur Bunting, and Katherine's husband Robert Lockhart. Her birth date on her burial marker is 1867, again different than the 1880 U.S. Census.
