Bose Walter Long was born in February 1856 in Ohio according to the census. His death certificate states he was born in Brown Co, Illinois on September 22, 1849. His tombstone states he was born as Bose Walten Long in Sept 1844, but his marriage certificate states his name is Walter. The variation in the birth dates may come from different people giving the information. The death certificate information was given by his son Frank Long. The tombstone was supplied and the information obtained from his son Neville's family. The 1900 and 1910 census that agree with the 1849 date were probably given by his wife Effie. The 1856 date on the 1880 census was given by his mother, and the 1920 census date of 1856 was given by Bose. Therefore, I believe the Feb 1856 date to be the correct one.
When Walter is found in 1900, he is living in Missouri with his family and lived there for many years. In 1920 he is found living alone in Arkansas at the age of 64. This would make him 71 years old at his death. He then moved back to Missouri where he lived until he died.
