• Notes

  Birth: His World War I draft registration card gives his birth date a 18 June 1884. His death certificate gives his birth date as 20 January 1885. On the 1900 US Census return his birth date is listed as May 1884. I am using the Draft Registration as he was giving the information to the recorder, rather than a third party. [1, 6, 7]
