- 1942-04-28 — The page is stamped "TRANSFERRED APR 28 1942" with a handwritten "USP Leav"; the catalog gives a transfer on 04/28/1942 to US Penitentiary, Leavenworth.
- 1974-11-20 — The catalog description gives a death date of 11/20/1974 at Amarillo, Texas.
The catalog’s birth date is 01/01/1900, the same as the page’s 1/1/00; the day and month may be an estimate, and this page does not say. The catalog remark names no gang. The role and family fields are left empty because no record cited here states either. Offenses are given as the notebook form prints them; the “Reason for Transfer” boxes are staff opinion and are not used.
