    • Note: Gordon L. Drollinger discovered that he originally transcribed Harry's birth date incorrectly using his father's pension file papers. The pension file papers actually list his birth date as 7 Feb 1880 and not 7 Feb 1882 as originally transcribed. Gordon and I both acknowledge that his WWI DRC lists his birth date as 7 Feb 1882, but agree that it is probably in error. Because his SSDI also lists his birth date as 7 Feb 1880 and the 1900 Census also lists his birth year as 1880, we believe that is his correct birth date until proven otherwise. (David H.
