According to family records Zahn actually died on 13 Jul 1928 and was 17 months old, which would place his birth around Feb 1927.

The headstone was evidently placed at a later date, some point after their mother Anna's death in 1950, and the dates for Zahn and his sister Letitia were apparently guessed-at, with errors. (Letitia's dates on the shared stone can be proven to be in error, as her death certificate gives her death date as 31 Aug 1932 with her birth having been 10 Apr 1924, even though her dates on the headstone read 1925-1933).

A death certificate for Zahn has not been found, although he most likely died in Philadelphia, as that's where Letitia died in 1932 and the family was enumerated there in the 1930 census (and their father Raymond was also enumerated there in 1920).
