--------------------------------------------------

The marriage record in Berrien County, Michigan shows that Wilbur provided an age of 41 which would yield a birth year of 1882 instead of the assumed year of 1892. In the 1900 US Census he clearly provided a birth date of Dec 1892 and an age of 8. The 1910 US Census provided an age of 18 which suggests a birth date of 1892. Thus, it appears the marriage record should show and age of 31 instead of 41. An age of 31 on the marriage record is close to the bride's age of 29 and would closely match a birth year of 1892.
