Name	Benedict Francis Bokmann [1]
Birth	5 Sep 1882	California, USA [1, 2]
Gender	Male
Alt. Birth	1883 [1]
	1900 Census says he was born in Sept. 1882. CA Death Index says he was born Sept 5, 1883 and was 72 years old at time of death, which was Jan 11, 1955. The CA Death Index is inconsistent, in that if he was born in 1883, he would have been 71 at time of death, not 72. Believe birth year is 1882 (per census) and that he was 72 at time of death (CA Death Index).
