Photo of headstone is hard to read. Transcription says he died 7 April 1896 (35 years, 1 month, 22 days) which would place his birth in 1861, not 1841. However, upon close examination of the headstone, his age could be interpreted as 55 years, not 35). He was buried after 7 April 1896 at Mount Union Cemetery, Summerhill Twp, Cambria County, PA, USA; Headstone transcribed @:
