Although son James Addison Joy reported that my great grandfather Sidney Alburtis Joy was born 25 Dec 1860 to the person filling out the Death Certificate, he was actually born 25 Dec 1859. When the 1860 census was recorded in August 1860, there he was, and his age was given as 8 months. When the 1900 census was taken, his month and year of birth were given as December 1859. James Addison Joy gave incorrect information. Also, the image used for his cemetery marker is actually the marker for Eliza Rankin Abernathy, another ancestor, buried with my Joy kin because she lived with them, my great great grandmother. Sid and his wife Emma never had markers, only funeral home burial cards, which are long gone since the 1970's when I last saw them. I have messaged the person who posted the picture. Thank you - Donna Johnson
