 According to these documents the following dates apply:

BIRTH: 13 Mar 1897- Herford, Westfallen, Germany*

DEATH: 22 Feb 1897- Taylorsville, Salt Lake, Utah

He was 89 years old when he died.

*Particular birth area is derrived from info found on his familysearch.org profile.  I have yet to obtain exacting proof of that location...  Also, his marriage record states his birth year was 1899, but all other records indicate 1897 as correct.
