Event Notes Note (1) Although death record stated birth date as Jun 15 1903, family records indicate his birth as Jun 15 1902, and his headstone also shows his birth in 1902. His age in the 1910 Census, enumerated in April 1910, shows his age as 8, consistent with the birth year 1902. For these reasons, the death record is consisered to be in error.
