Talk:Wilson Bryan Key

Year of birth confusion
Wilson Bryan Key Ph.D. (January 31, 1925 – October 8, 2008)

Confirming:
SSDI lists "Wilson B Key" born 1925-01-31, died 2008-10-08, last residence 89521 (Reno, Washoe County, Nevada), SSN 553-28-5233 (issued in New Mexico).

"California Birth Index, 1905-1995" says Wilson Bryan Key was born 31 Jan 1925. (familysearch.org)

1940 US Census lists "Wilson Key Jr.", age 15. (compatible with January 31, 1925) (familysearch.org)

His obituary (linked from this article) says he was 83 when he died on October 8, 2008. (compatible with January 31, 1925)

Disagreeing:
However, on his Find A Grave page (linked from this article), two photos of his grave marker clearly show Jan 31 1921. That data is correctly copied as text, and has propagated to BillionGraves. 1921 seems more likely to be a mistake.
