Hardy Sellers died after 1880. Matilda (Springer) Sellers died after 1910. There are specific death dates on line for Hardy Sellers and Matilda (Springer) Sellers. Their said source is a FindAGrave memorial without a tombstone. Therefore it is not a source but a document that has been created without a valid source. In other words its created fiction.
