Research notes

He may have lied about his birth date (1900) when enlisting for WW I. He is 8 years old in the 1910 census and his parents have been married for nine years. If the 1900 birth date is correct he would have been born before the parents married and they could have lied to the census taker about the age of their son. The Minnesota Death Index has the birth year as 1901.

In the 1920 census is his mother listed as Scottish. Needs more research.
