Individual Details
Howard Hill Briles
(23 Feb 1896 - 1 Aug 1948)
There appears to be some confusion with the date of birth for Howard Hill Briles. His death certificate states that he was born on February 23rd, 1896. His brother , Perry, was born on the 22nd of February of the same year. The 1900 census has Howard listed at age nine and his brother age four.
Conclusion: This is a tough one. Either the census is wrong, which is a huge possibility or Howard's family gave the wrong date of birth when he passed. I would think that the family would know if Perry and Howard were twins. We are going to leave his date of birth open until we can get a some clarification from family members.
