Just recently a photo of his original grave turned up that has Louis Haudenschield on the marker and birth as 1885. This was placed when first buried by the family. The second marker definitely has 1882. According to the Kansas 1885 Census he was born in 1884. The census was dated March 1st, 1885 and listed Louis as 1 year old, which he would have been in one week.
Louis was the oldest of six living children.
