Records and Facts

Note

There is conflicting birth information. The gravestone shows the date of birth as 23 January 1918. The Social Security file shows date of birth as 23 November 1918. Army records show the date of birth as 23 November 1918 as well. This is definitely one and the same person based on comparing family members. 23 November seems to be the correct date, so it is possible that there was an error with the gravestone.
