Suggested edit: The tombstone is wrong. All records show he was born 3 Jan 1877. As well, his middle name is Harrison as recorded. Death certificates can be wrong when survivors do not know dates, names, etc. These errors are unfortunately carried over onto the tombstones. I will attach supporting documents to his memorial.
