Note: While there are three photos attached purported to be his tombstone, not a one of them can be read even when blown up therefore the information on the site is deemed heresay until a source, or clear detail photo of name and dates, is added. FindAGrave has a history of folks posting bogus tombstones and made up information unfortunately.
