His tombstone gives a birth year of 1886, however, all census records in which he appears, indicate a birth year in the mid 1870s. In addition, his World War I draft registration gives a birth date of 27 Oct 1876. Therefore it is believed that the date on the tombstone is wrong, and the correct date of birth is the one indicated in his draft registation.
