Research Notes

Birth year is uncertain. Gravestone says 1878; FindAGrave says 1875, and all census records support a year of 1880: not listed on 1880 census, 19 yrs born Sep 1880 on 1900 census, 39 yrs 1920, 50 yrs 1930. I have used 1880 based on the census records. A primary source document for birth year is needed.
