1. “Goeldner said her sister-in-law actually raised Barrack Obama, or Barry as they called him, when he was young, after his mother died in 1970.”
2. “When Ann died at an early age, it was Virginia’s brother and sister-in-law who raised the future president.”
3. “Obama’s grandfather, Stanley, left Kansas and moved to Texas and it was in the Seattle area where his mother Stanley Ann Dunham, WAS BORN.”
4.”Stanley Armour Dunham, who was Barack Obama’s grandfather, who died in 1982;”
5. “She married a Hawaiian and gave birth to the president-elect’s half sister, Maya.”

That is peculiar, and you appear to be correct. The Earlier article doesn't seem to contain those errors. After further examination, it looks like the second article has been re-written from the first. There are quite a few changes between one and the other. Perhaps the first one was from notes, and the second one was from memory.
Again, it looks like the Reporter introduced those errors, rather than Virginia Goeldner said those things. Thanks for noticing that.
