Lew's place of birth is not certain. Two censuses, 1910 and 1920, give Iowa as the birthplace, while 3 others, 1880, 1900, and 1930, state Ohio. His WWII registration states Des Moines, Iowa!!
I found no birth record or Ohio death certificate (which could also give place of birth incorrectly).
The Ohio record, which gives only the date of death (I haven't found a full death certificate), states the day of death was 25 May 1949, but his obituary gives 24 May (a Tuesday) as the day of death.
