Some confusion exists as to the gender of this baby. Birth record, birth newspaper announcement and letter to cemetery from this baby's sister in 1954 give this baby's gender as male. Death, Cemetery and Mortuary records give gender as female. My guess is the cemetery and mortuary records got their data from the death certificate.
