Birth and death dates per tombstone on Logan Co. website, Northwood Cemetery, but his deposition in his father's pension records quotes him as saying "I am 32 years old". This was July 14, 1890.

I found his death certificate on familysearchlabs.org and it said Dora Johnston was the informant and he was a resident of Wilmington, O. but died in Dayton, Montgomery Co., OH. Wilmington, OH is in Clinton Co. I located him and wife Eudora living in Wilmington in the 1930 census. No children still at home.

In 1900 they're living in Dunkirk, Jay Co., IN and have children Helen, Mildred and Hortense. Hortense was the only one born in IN.

In 1910 I found him under "Christon" living in Dwight Township, Livingston Co., IL. All four children are shown as being born in OH.

In 1920 they're in Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH. Helen and Mildred born in OH and Hortense and Horace in IN.

Census records and death certificate give his occupation as florist.
