Henry Howe Connor

Notes:

Birth:
Additional notes re Howell book information: The compiler noted in the book, that dates obtained from documents seemed to contain errors. In example, the death certificate of Henry Howe Connor (with his son, Thomas Wesley Connor as informant) is cited giving his death as 12 Oct. 1906 and birth as 15 March 1820, and offers an age calculation of 89 yrs, 6 mo, 21 days. However, those two dates actually calculate to 86 years, 6 months, 23 days...at best leaving one in doubt.
From today, 17 Nov 2021, Henry's dates will reflect those given on his gravestone.

Died:
He spent some years of his later life in the Soldiers Home at North Park, Kent Co, Michigan, but died on 12 Oct. 1906 while living with his wife in Detroit. - Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell — Note that his gravestone gives Oct. 6, 1908.
