Suggested edit: Although the gravestone gives the birth yearfor James Leon Atkins as 1927 (which is supported by the age reported in his 1975 obituary), the marriage certificate between him and Rosemary Wagner, which is signed by James in which he posts his birth date gives the date July 8-1925. Since this document was closer in time to his birth, it would be held to be more authoritative
