His marker appears to have incorrect years for both his birth and death. The marker has his year of death as 1921, but then notes "(killed in action in WW I)". His marker has his year of birth as 1897, but he gave his date of birth as April 17, 1894 on his 1917 draft registration card, and that is consistent with 1900 and 1910 census data.
