Solomon's gravestone inscription incorrectly shows 16 July 1857 as his date of birth. Birth records for the Jewish community of Diersburg—a small village that is now part of the municipality of Hohberg—show that he was born there 16 July 1859 as "Salomon Bodenheimer," the son of Meier Bodenheimer and his wife, Rosa Weil.
The death date inscribed on Solomon's gravestone, 26 June 1918, also conflicts with the death date recorded on his Cook County death record, 25 June 1918.
