He is not listed in this census, which was taken in April 1910 (official enumeration date 15 Apr). The number of children his mother had does not reflect him. Therefore, it appears he could not have been born in March 1910.

Harold Fluharty, age 8, born in West Virginia

The enumeration date was 2 Jan 1920, so he would have been 8 if he was born Mar 1911.

1910-1987

The exaggeration in his age (which may have originated when he got married in 1930 and gave his age as 22) appears to have stuck and been included on his gravestone.
