There is a conflict in the article. At the start it says she wasn't referred to as 'unsinkable' until after her death, but in the section on the Titanic, it indicates that she was called 'unsinkable' for the rest of her life. --Peacenik 00:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Petty Vandalism

In the second paragraph of 'Richs and Riches', there seems to be a bit of petty vandalism. Now I don't know what's supposed to be said (though I have an incling), so someone who does should fix that.

"1909 and 1914 she ran for Congress; she also assisted in poo poo shops Denver's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception which was completed in 1912. " (Foxpen (talk) 06:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Congress

Wasn't Brown the first woman to run for U.S. Congress. The article on congress doesn't mention her, but I recall reading somewhere that she was the first woman to run for Congress, but didn't make it.--Wikiphilia 04:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWI

HOw does this article relate to WWI? Crisco 1492 00:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To the people who feel like editing articles

Sory if I seem a litte down, but I just read this article and there are some things in it that disgust me. First of all, someone believes that Molly Brown had 200 siblings. For all of you who feel like making changes like this, check out Uncyclopedia not only are there articles there that say odd things about people (ie. anything about Oscar Wilde) things like that are encouraged there. But please, keep things like that OVER THERE! As you can probably see, the name of this site is WIKIpedia. There is no UNCYCLO in the name. Please respect those who appreciate the good aspects of the web and want to learn and mature. I have no problem with immature people, as long as they do not interfere with others.65.101.140.38 05:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brain cancer

The article says only that she died in her sleep, yet she's in a category for brain cancer. Did she have brain cancer? Was this the casue of her death? If so, the time that she died (while asleep) is irrelevant, since she died from brain cancer. Stearnsbrian (talk) 19:59, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catherine Brown's information

Under Catherine Ellen Brown ("Helen"), was born on July 1, 1889 , it states her husband lived from 1877 - 1907. But she was married on April 7, 1913. Something is amiss I believe...167.207.128.101 (talk) 19:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Titanic

Why is there not much mentioned about her experience on the Titanic? I'm not saying it should be the major part of the bio but I do think it should be mentioned more than it was in this article. Does anyone have anything? If so please add it.
