bullet  General Notes:


Not found in the 1920 US Census. Not yet married at the time of the census and not living with his parents on their 1920 US Census enumeration.
---------------------------------------

bullet  Burial Notes:


It is highly likely that his gravestone has the incorrect year of birth on it. It should be 1897 instead of 1898. His 1900 US Census form gives his birth date as Sep 1897 and most other census years reference a birth year of 1897. His 1918 World War I Draft Registration card has his birth date as 7 Sep 1897. His 1920 marriage license application gives has age as 23 which equates with a birth year of 1897 and not 1898.
