Event Notes Note (1) 1900 Census of Ritchie County shows his birth date as April 1889, but "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 288, reports headstone reading as Apr 26 1887. Since parents' marriage date is documented as Jan 5 1888, the April 1889 birth date is considered mor likely. Census has middle initial as C, but headstone shows it as G. Note (2) Middle initial given as B in 1910 Census, as D on headstone (per Findagrave), but no initial in birth record or marriage record.
