Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in death record as Jun 10 1874, and age 26 in his Nov 1900 marriage record also puts it in about 1874. But the 1900 Census shows it as June 1875, and his WW I draft registration specifies Jun 10 1875. Age 4 in the 1880 Census would support the 1875 date. Note (2) Burial location left blank on death record. Since he died at the Weston State Hospital, it is possible that he was buried in the hospital's cemetery. Note (3) Age 40 in her May 1915 death record puts her birth date in about 1875. But her birth record shows it as May 14 1879, corresponding to her age 21 in her Nov 1900 marriage record.Name Index
