Research Notes

There is a discrepancy between his findagrave memorial page and gravestone,^[6] and other records. His gravestone has the name "Colin" rather than "Conlin" which appears in other records. And his gravestone has the birth year of 1890 rather than 1891. However, according to family members this is Conlin's burial place.

The photo of the headstone provided by the Arkansas Gravestone Photo Project shows his name as Conlin with a DOB of 1890.^[7]
