I'm just puzzled by the discrepancy in the age of the son Hiram. Since he was born in 1908, (confirmed by both the CA Birth Index and the Death Index) he was not 19 years old in 1922. Yet, the will refers to him as being "19 years of age". Something's not right somewhere...... just don't know where!! Sharon Mariposa, CA listmom
