Research Notes
The Social Security Death Index lists his birthdate as December 12, while the grave stone says December 26. I went with December 26 as that seems to be the consensus on the family-created trees. - Freeth-52 09:53, 15 September 2016 (EDT)
Curiously, his brother Joseph's obituary from the year 2000 lists him as a surviving brother. - Freeth-52 10:50, 15 September 2016 (EDT)
