Research Notes (source comments, unreliable information)
His birth date is somewhat flexible, though the median puts it in Dec 1889. The various contenders are:
- 1 Dec 1889 [1900 and 1920 US Census]
- 2 Dec 1889 [family interview / 2009]
- 14 Dec 1889 [Social Sec Death Index and difficult-to-read WWI draft registration index]
- about 1891 [1910 US Census]
Since the bulk seem to be Dec 1889 and the only one that isn't is wildly off, the current assumption will be Dec 1889.
