A NOTE ABOUT HIS DATE OF BIRTH DISCREPANCIES: Curtis McArthur Kime's date of birth of 6 January 1901 is documented in the Adams County, Pennsylvania, birth register, and also as 6 January 1901 in his 1942 World War II draft registration, both of which match the date of birth on his gravestone. However, in his 1934 World War I Service Card and in his 1934 WWI Veteran's Compensation Application, his date of birth is listed as 2 years earlier, as 6 January 1899, which indicates that he must have given a false year of birth in order to enlist in the U.S. Marines in 1917 at the age of only 16 during World War I.
