Luther Allen

1889 - 1916  (27 years)

• Name	Luther Allen  [1]
  Born	11 Apr 1889	Miller County, Missouri, USA   [2, 3, 4]
  	Luther's death certificate gives date of birth as 11 April 1891, Miller County Luther's 1900 census enumerations date of birth is April 1889 Luther's 1910 census enumeration date of birth calculates to 1889 In conclusion, it seems likely that the death certificate offered the right day and month of birth but the wrong year. The informant was Luther's father. The 1900 census, closest to the event, was likely to be right. His mother was more likely to have been the census informant.

  	Digital image of marriage license and return difficult to read. It is certainly March 1909, and probably the fourteenth--definitely something ending in "eenth."
