Biography

Research Notes

Based on all of the census records, I believe that my great--grandfather was actually born in 1857 and a mistake made on his headstone. The information on his death certificate was given by his last daughter, Jurann who barely knew him. He married her mother in 1924 in order to legitimize her birth.
