Paulina West Deckard is the twelfth child born to Jesse Wesley Deckard and Sarah Elizabeth KINSER. She was born around Niangua, Webster County, Missouri sometime between 1850 - 1859. Paulina uses several different names in each federal census and her birth year changes with every census. She married Valentine S. Terry on October 8, 1882 in Webster County, Missouri. They had three children.

1. Riley Anderson 'Rolla' Terry 1885-1973
2. William S. Terry 1887-1979
3. Ben H. Terry 1891-1977

I believe she may be buried somewhere is Taney County, Missouri but that is just a suspicion. There is a death certificate issued for a Pauline Terry who died on June 13, 1921 in Taney County, Missouri. The father listed is A.W. Terry of Purdy, MO and I cannot make out the mother's name or birthplace. Here is the link to the certificate: https://www.sos.mo.gov/images/archives/deathcerts/1921/1921_0001597...
I do not believe this certificate belongs to Paulina DECKARD Terry.
