An ALT birthdate is on the Find-a-grave record which agrees with the 1900 census (Nov 1837) but may have come from the census record. There is no photo image of the tombstone, so I don't know for positive which is right. The record at Find-a-grave was provided by Ray Flesher who also provided a record and an obituary for Peter's wife.
