I feel the article's introductory paragraph could and should be tweaked from Lillian Mae Holley (née Hatch; 11 August 1890 -- 12 June 1994) was an American sheriff. She was famous for being the sheriff of Lake County, Indiana that John Dillinger escaped from.", to Lillian Mae Holley (née Hatch; August 11, 1890 -- June 12, 1994) was an American sheriff. She was famous for being the sheriff of the Lake County, Indiana county whose jail John Dillinger escaped from."
Why? First of all, when introducing a subject of an article whom is an American, the date(s) of birth and/or death should always be written in the (Month and calendar day of month [1-31, for example], Year), which is not the case here. Also, the second sentence is a grammatical nightmare which I believe my proposed tweak would not only tidy up and correct, but read far less confusing to the average reader.
