Event Notes
Note (1) Age in death record calculates to a birth date of Apr 25 1832. But birth
date given on headstone is Apr 23 1833, and 1900 Census also shows it as Apr
1833.
Note (2) Headstone has his birth date, but no death date. His two wives are buried in
the same cemetery.
Note (3) The death date on her headstone is reported as 1924. But her obituary, in
the Sep 20 1928 issue of the "West Union Herald," shows it to be Sep 8 1928.
