Notes from 1871 Census: age: 6; birth: Ontario; religion: W. Methodist; origin: English

BIOGRAPHY: 1882 was a student in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Milwaukee City Directory, film #353, 1882-1884)

BIRTH: The 1900 Census lists his birth as Oct. 1866, but all other records point to a birth date of 1864/1865. Also all of these other records were made before the month of October in the year in question which (assuming he was born in October) would put the birth date at 1864. The Canadian Champion of 3 Nov 1864 has a birth notice for the son of Mrs. Dr. Crooker of Milton, Ontario (where Titus Crooker was listed as a physician) born on 31 Oct 1864.
