Death Notice - Griesel Infant

Home


We know that Lee was born c. Aug 1910, because he is listed in the 1910 census as age "0", so if he died in 1918 (per these news articles), he'd have be 8 years old, not 9 months old. At this time, it is unknown whether these articles are referring to Lee, a different child, two different children, or possibly twins.
