Biographical data |
Name: Showalter, Jackson Whipps |
Born: 5 Feb. 1860 |
Died: 5 Feb. 1935 |
|
Notes: |
Forster gives birth year as 1860. Sunnucks and Golombek give birth date 04-02-1860 and death date 06-02-1935. Hilbert and Lahde give birth date as 05-02-1860, but note that some sources give 04-02-1860. Hilbert gives 05-02-1860 in his biography of Kemeny. Urcan gives birth date 04-02-1860. Gaige gives birth date 05-02-1860 and death date 05-02-1935. Reichhelm gives birth year 1859. C.N. 6972 contains discussion on 05-02-1859 as a possible date of birth, but C.N.12046 gives evidence, particularly from a U.S. census of 1900 and a death certificate, that he was born 05-02-1860. Hilbert and Lahde discuss various sources giving death date as 04-02-1935 or 05-02-1935 or 06-02-1935. His death certificate gives 05-02-1935. |
