Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Oct 1867. Note (2) Birth date reported by Findagrave as Jun 9 1892, and date on headstone is also 1892. But the 1900 Census shows his birth date as June 1895, age 5, the third-oldest of four children, with surrounding siblings born in 1893 and 1896. Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as July 1896, but death record states June 22 1897. However, her stated age at death, 26y 11m 2d, calculates to a birth date of June21 1896.Name Index
