    • Cecil Howard Miracle seems to have changed his birth date at some point to make himself four years younger. His birth record and World War II draft registration show his birth date as 7 Dec 1923. This conformed to his ages in the 1930 and 1940 censuses. But his 1964 marriage record and all subsequent records show him to be four years younger, with birth date 7 Dec 1927. His military records, social security records and headstone all reflec the 1927 birth date.
