Talk:Edward Gargan

Age at death
Courtesy ping:

I have changed Gargan's age at death to 62, which is the age stated in the text of the cited newspaper article and in the article's headline. The only basis that I see for age 61 is calculation from the listed date of birth, which is unsourced. Rather than dismissing The New York Times's obituary as being incorrect, shouldn't we consider the possibility that the listed date of birth is incorrect? If someone has a reliable source for July 17, 1902, that would provide reason to revisit the topic. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
