Note that cemetery book and photo of stone show Feb. 20, 1878 as date of birth, which differs from the 1879 date I had. If he was born in February, he should have been born in 1879 to have been age one in the 1880 census on June 1.

Also, Montana death index at ancestry.com has his death date as 20 Feb 1933, not 1938. Unknown if that is a typo or where the 1938 date came from.
