*NOTE: I believe that there is a discrepancy on Sylvester's Headstone. All of his records state that he was born in 1895, including documents in his own handwriting. There is also a discrepancy on his Death Certificate as well. Therefore, I believe that his Headstone is a mistake, although I realize that this is rare.
