Research Notes

Note that the gravestone pictured at Find-a-Grave has a death date of Feb 17, 1918, but the death certificate has it as Feb 16. The death certificate is actually in error here if you read closely - it has the age as "79 yrs and 1 day" yet has birth and death as Feb 16. f-a-g gives 17th, day of death but the death certificate states he died ON his birth day the 16th
