Research notes for Adolph

Regarding DOB: The commonly accepted date seems to be 22 Jun 1898. I believe it to be 1897. 1st is the 1900 census which states Jun 1897. 2nd is the WWI draft card also stating 1897. It's been my experience that when a discrepancy arises, the closer in time the document in question, the more accurate it is.

In 1951 Adolph married Mrs. Anna Ross (source Racine Journal Times 04 Jun 1951 Page 10).
