Ross Note (2) Age 26 given at time of July 1914 marriage would put birth in about 1888, but age 35 reported at death in March 1919 would put it in about 1884. The 1900 Census shows her age as 17, birth date Feb 1883. Note (3) Military cemetery marker incorrectly states death date as Apr 15 1956, as does wife's obituary. But death record shows it as May 15 1956.
