Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Apr 1891, but death record states May 9 1891. Note (2) Veterans records, SSDI and headstone all indicate a birth date of Nov 27 1919. But his age in the 1930 Census was 9, putting birth in about 1921, and he did not appear by name with his family in the 1920 Census, enumerated on Jan 21 1920. It is possible, however, that the Anthoney, age 2 months in the 1920 Census, was actually him, that his family afterwards renamed him Garmen, and then five years later had another son who they named Anthony, as indicated in the 1930 Census. Note (3) Age in marriage record would put birth in about 1928. Note (4) Obituary states burial at IOOF Cemetery in Wallace, but her double headstone with her husband is at the Wallace Lions Cemetery.
