[S481] Missouri - death certificates (online), Missouri State Board of Health, Bureau of Vital Records, Missouri State Archives, (http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/ :n.d.). Death certificate offers birth date of "9 Sept 1918," but the death date was 3 Nov 1918, and his age at death was given as "18 years, 2 mos, 21 days." This was clearly a clerical error, and it is likely that the birth date was 9 Sept 1900. He died of the influenza epidemic, and I have noted that numerous errors were made on death certificates during this frantic period.

Certificate states date of death as "November 3- 1918." However, the physician was in attendance from 20 Nov to 30 Nov, so it is clear that the intended date was "30 November 1918."
