Research Notes

• Samuel's birth date is marked "uncertain" because there is quite a bit of variety in the sources. His military records say 21 Sep 1918. His Social Security application says 15 Sep 1918, and the 1940 census says 1922.

• His obituary says that he was to be interred in Fernwood Cemetery, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, but there is not yet a corroborating memorial on Find-a-Grave.
