    Birth:
    Death certificate shows him as 71 years old at his death. The headstone transcription at Find A Grave gives an 1891 death year, leading to the possible conclusion it's not the right grave, but the month and day match and the Greensburg Daily Tribune of 30 Mar 1896 gives the cemetery name. Correcting the year transcription error and taking the age at death given on the headstone gives this birth date.
