Research Notes
Note on birth date: "United States Public Records, 1970-2009" also records the date of birth as 06 Apr 1914. The difference is due to the interpretation of the recorded date of 6/4/14. Given that the general method of recording dates at the time was m/d/yy, we have used this method to indicate the birth date.
