Conflicting sources

The Arlington Cemetery reference lists his West Point graduation date at 1867, which is incorrect. His actual graduation date was 1870, as correctly referenced in the Cullum File reference (#1). The Arlington website simply made a dating error on his graduation. From what I can deduce, there are no other errors in this reference. Ahodges7 ^talk 01:13, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I emailed Arlington with proof of their error and asked them to fix it. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:19, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death

This article states he died in 1936, but other sources point to 1926. The latter is the year marked on his grave [1]. --Virso2 (talk) 10:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
