Jerome's grave stone was almost illegible in 2004. His birth date is from William MacKellar Kern, "Kern and Ogden Ancestors. Also allied families of Lanterman, Read, Crissman, etc.," 1938; which is in the manuscript division of the New York Public Library in New York City. Kern's manuscript is incredibly accurate as he had access to family Bibles during the period between about 1890 and 1930. The death date for Jerome B. Davis in his manuscript matches that on the stone.
