According to a reading of McIntire Cemetery done in the 1970s, Robert shares a stone with his father, Robert.
According to both Robert's World War I and World War II Draft Registrations, he was born July 9, 1892. This date also agrees with his marriage record and the census records. His obituary which I have transcribed below, showed his age at death as 64 and his date of birth as July 9, 1881. Robert would have actually been 63-years-old when he passed away. I have transcribed the obituary as written.
