    died 14 Jan 1903 in West Branch, Ogemaw, Michigan (age 89 years, 6 months, 2 days), widower
    parents: Wm Woodiwiss and Harriet Hunt

    Looking at the form, someone either calculated his age at death from his birth date, or his birth date from his age at death, and was out by 10 years. If he was 89 1/2 when he died (as stated), then his birth date should be Jul 1814, not 1824. It seems probable that he was actually born Jul 1815, the month before he was baptized.
