Time line messed up

The date of birth is listed as 1896. According to the article: "Becker graduated from Harvard University and attended St. Louis Law School. After 15 years of private law practice, he was elected to a twelve year term on the St. Louis Court of Appeals in 1916." Which would mean that he started his law practice as the advanced age of five! My guess is the 1916 date is wrong, but what it actually should be I don't know, even 1926 would mean he started law practice at 15. Wschart (talk) 15:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. He was born in 1876. Thanks for pointing out the error. --Millbrooky (talk) 00:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
