See pg. 696 of William Perry Johnson, Volume I HH BK. # 5162: Birth date questioned as to 1882 or 1883, also of death as dates 1921 or 1932. Also states that Rufus was a member of the Brethern Church and worked at a stone quarry at Flat Rock, near Mt. Airy, NC. He was a republican.
Information verified by picture of Headstone by Del Taylor of Peoria, AZ, 30 Sept 2004. Close look at the picture of the headstone indicates more 1842 to 1932 for Rufus and dates for Esther as born 28 Sep 1881 and died 14 Feb 1964. We are questioning the date of birth of Rufus, need to see if there is confirmation available elsewhere. Cannot make the number 8 out of what appears to be clearly a 4, so 1842 not 1882. Also death date is clearly 19 Jan 1932, no question as to that! Larry Anderson, Del Taylor, 30 Sep 2004.
