His social security application and claims index and WWI draft registration show his birth date as Dec. 8, 1874, in Los Angeles, California. Since the gravestone shows 1875, I left it as is. He is also on the New York Death Index, 1862-1948, which lists his death as April 2, 1941, in Manhattan, New York. His mother, Adelaide Mellus Hamilton, was a member of a pioneer family in Los Angeles, California. Her father was mayor of Los Angeles in 1860. Submitted by Steve Peacock, #47309391.
