Event Notes Note (1) Birth date on headstone is 1866, while his obituary states Oct 10 1867. But age 1 in the 1870 Census, age 11 in the 1880 Census, and age 20 in his 1889 marriage record would put his birth in about 1869. Note (2) 705 Maryland Avenue Note (3) Birth record gives birthplace as Smithton (now Smithburg), but obituary states Blandville.
