Note that the reported age at death is inconsistent with the reported birth date. If the age is correct, then he was born in Oct 1907; if the birth date is correct, then he was just shy of 3 1/2 rather than 4 1/2. The census is more consistent with an Oct 1907 birth date (he was recorded as age 2 in April 1910.)
