The birth year on the headstone is wrong. There is no question that he was born in 1888, not 1890. Proof includes; his Iowa birth registration, a statement by his father (listing the birth dates & places of all his children), the 1900 census (listed as the eldest child, age 12, b. Mar 1888. Next child, Theodore b. Aug 1889) & the Social Security Death Index (b. 14 Mar 1888. d. Jun 1946). Further support; The custody petition filed by his father, 23 Sep 1901, lists the children, beginning with Hubert Dunbar, aged 13, Theodore John, aged 11, etc. Finally, it is undisputed that Hubert Dunbar aka Hubert Peter is the eldest child of Peter Hubert Simons & Lula Alma Dunbar and that their 2nd child is Theodore John, whose like-wise multi-proven birth date is 5 Aug 1889 (IA birth registration, 1900 census, WWI draft registration, etc., etc).
