On his draft card for WWI he gave his birth as 28 Aug 1887. The 1900 census also gave a birth date of Aug 1887. On the 1920 census he is listed as age 33 which figures out to 1887, but on the 1930 census he is age 39 making birth closer to 1890. 1890 is inscribed on his grave marker, of course that info would have been provided by the person who ordered the marker.
Member #48015821 states that there is an error on his birth location and it is actually Pulaski, Giles County, TN. and it is proved on his birth record. This is a delayed (re-issued) birth record that was issued in 1941 and on it his birth is stated as 1890. I believe that on this type of record they just wrote down what they person gave them as there was no original record.
On his draft card for WWI he gave his birth as Nashville, Davidson County but his re-issued birth record states birth at Pulaski, Giles, TN.
His death is registered in Genesee County as 05 Sep 1961. His obit states he died on 09 Nov and was buried on 11 Nov. The date must have been entered wrong in the clerk's records.
