Notes
Birth
Birthdate is calculated from date of death and age of 87 years, 3 months, and 24 days on tombstone.Death
His obituary gives his date of death as 11 September 1905 instead of 4 September 1905. The date of death on his tombstone is 4 September 1905. Since his probate file gives his date of death as 4 September 1905, this is the correct date.Probate

His will was probated 8 September 1905. His will mentions his sons Noah, Andrew, and Job who do not receive any specific bequests since they had already received their share from him.
