Although his gravestone indicates that he passed in 1920, his obituary was published in the Feb 9th, 1923, Jewell County REPUBLICAN, Jewell City, Jewell Co, KS publication.
His obituary states the following:
He was born near Freeport, Illinois, August the 7th, 1853, and died in Jewell City, Kansas, January 31, 1923, aged 69 years, 6 months and 24 days. But if computed, this would mean his date of birth would be Jul 7th, 1853. Sometimes these things happened but the death date is off by 3 years. I was glad to be able to see the gravestone ~ just to verify the years in the cemetery listing.
