Event Notes
Note (1) Birthplace given in 1930 Census as Pennsylvania, and in obituary as
Jeannette, Pennsylvania.  But other census records, his marriage record and his
death record all indicate his birthplace as Indiana.  The Indiana birth index
(Bk H-10, p. 52) shows that he was born in Jay County on Aug 22 1903.
