Rebman (age 41) in York, York County, next to other siblings.^[7] Also residing with her were two more of his siblings: Sallie S. (25) and Paul (13).^[7]

On 29 January 1913 in Richmond, Virginia, he married Mary Chesterman Murray,^[8] daughter of Cleveland Eugene Murray and Florence Gertrude Chesterman.^[8][9]

Research Notes

• Birth Date: His registration for World War I shows the same day as on other records,^[1][4][10] but the year given is 1880.^[3] The 1900 census uses December 1881.^[7]
• Census Records: Only the 1900 census record has been located under the names John and/or Ervin/Irvin. He may have used another name socially.
