Note: Buried in Lot 1st.041. Some ambiguity exists regarding his birth year; it has been noted as 1874 (obituaries) and 1876 (gravestone). The 1880 census (taken June 14, 1880) notes him as three years old. In the 1900 census (taken June 13, 1900), he's noted as being born December, 1877, and age 22. In the 1910 census (taken April 19, 1910), he's noted as 36 years old. Vital Records weren't required to be kept in IA until July, 1880, so no birth certificate exists for verification.
