Notes for Harvey Franklin “Frank” Christian
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Harvey Franklin Christian, age 18, born 29 Jan 1900, residence Halderman, Rowan Co., Ky, laborer, employer Ky Fire Brick Co., Halderman, Ky, nearest relative Mrs. Fransis Christian, same address.
The SSDI lists Frank Christian, born 29 Jan 1900, died Dec 1982, last residence Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, SSN issued in Indiana before 1951.
The Kentucky death index lists Frank H. Christian, age 82, died 7 Dec 1982 in Rowan Co., residence same.
His gravestone says Frank H. Christian, Jan 29, 1900 - Dec 7, 1982.
Since he was listed in the 1900 census, taken in June, as age 1, born Jan 1899, and in the 1910 census, taken in April, as age 11, it is very likely that the 1900 birthdate is incorrect, despite it clearly being what he understood his birthdate to be throughout his adult life.
