Arthur Gottfried Mayer ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8}

  General Notes:

Arthur's age seems to have been reported corresponding to a birth year of 1890 up until his approximate 20th birthday. After that, he reported his age corresponding with an 1891 birth year. The 1900 census showed his birth date as Jul 1890 whereas his draft registration form in 1917 provided a Jul 1891 birth date. It should be noted that those early reports of his age were probably provided by his parents and the later reports were provided by himself somehow thinking that he was a year younger, having been born in 1891 instead of 1890.
