Event Notes Note (1) A birth date of Oct 2 1895 has been reported by some sources, and 1900 Census gives his birth date as Oct 1895. But his birth record, death record and obituary state Oct 1 1894. His headstone has only the year 1894. Note (2) Death date given in death record as October 5 1950. But his obituary in the Oct 12 1950 issue of the "West Union Herald" states that he "died at 10:55 a.m. Friday." That Friday fell on October 6 1950. His headstone has only the year 1950.
