- When the people in this photo were identified for me he was identified as Allen Irwin, however, I have subsequently found out that his name was actually James Allen Irwin. (Sources: 1900 Federal Census, Muscatine Co., Iowa; Iowa Marriages, 1851-1900, Muscatine Co.; David Enderle, great-grandson.)
- This may be correct, however, he is buried in North Prairie Cemetery, West Liberty, Iowa, born 28 Mar 1890; died 25 Jul 1940; Row 4/Lot 6/Sp 2.
