Event Notes Note (1) Although her birth date is entered in her birth record as Jul 20 1880, which is in keeping with age 17 given in her 1897 marriage record, there are discrepancies that call that into question. In the 1900 Census, her birth date is given as Nov 1881, age 18. However, she appeared in the 1880 Census, enumerated 25 Jun 1880, age 9 months. Birth date on headstone is 1880. Note (2) Although his marriage record in March 1916 states his age to be 21 as of his last birthday, Jul 26 1915, thus putting his birth date at Jul 26 1894, and his death record states his birth date as Jul 26 1897, his birth record shows his actual birth date to be Jul 26 1898. Inasmuch as his parents were married on Sep 8 1897, it would appear that he inflated his age at the time of his marriage.
