Date of birth

[edit]

Hirolovesswords, all of the obituaries I can find for Moore published at the time of his death report his DOB as December 9, 1891, but his gravestone says December 9, 1892.

1915 Bates yearbook also says December 9, 1891: https://archive.org/details/mirror191500unse/page/104/mode/1up. Jweiss11 (talk) 08:41, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Moore's WWI draft card gives his date of birth as December 9, 1891 [1]. Since he signed this document, I would believe that this is the correct date of birth. However, per the advice in Wikipedia:Conflicting sources, I think it would be best to note that there are conflicting sources and leave it up to the reader to choose which source they want to believe.
