According to my notes, he was born on the Atken farm, 1/4 mile east of Friend, Nebraska, 1/2 mile from Alice Rosetta Olmsted's cousin's place at 1:15 am by R.J. Farwell. His obit states he was born on the Smith farm. Alice Rosetta Olmstead is my great grandmother, wife of Charles Grandison Skinner, whose occupations included custom combiner, blacksmith, and farmer. If there is any record of them being in the area during the years 1913-1916 (tax, birth, etc...) please reply. I went to Friend and the one person I needed to talk with was in Kearney (where I live) that day. Thanks
