But his headstone shows it as 1868. Age 24 in his Aug 1891 marriage record conforms to the 1867 date. Note (2) In 1930, location specified as Railroad Street. Household consisted of himself, his wife, and his wife's mother. Note (3) Birth date on headstone is 1874. But 1900 Census shows it as Mar 1869, while death record states Sep 13 1870. Age 10 in the 1880 Census, enumerated in June, as does age 22 in her Aug 1891 marriage record, would conform to the 1869 date. Note (4) Birth date in 1900 Census is June 1897. Note (5) Birth date on headstone is Oct 18 1901. But both her birth record and her Social Security Death Index show it as Oct 17 1899.
