(33) One World Tree (www.ancestry.com) Event Notes Note (1) Headstone incorrectly shows a death date of 1936. Records reflect that she was married on Aug 30 1936 and died on June 4 1937, due to complications of pregnancy. Note (2) He was age 6 months at the time of the April 1910 Census enumeration. The headstone which he shares with his two infant brothers has only the year 1910, implying that he was both born and died in 1910. But the census indicates otherwise. Note (3) Birth date in death record is Sep 21 1921, with age 16y 11m 6d. But that is inconsistent with his age in the 1920 and 1930 censuses, which conforms to the 1918 birth date on his headstone. Note (4) Death date on headstone is 1937, which is incorrect.
