Notes

  • In 1900, Dave and other children are in the household of John and Mary (Terry) Keith in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  David's birthday here is reported as September 1867, while a family genealogy reports him as born in 2 November 1867.

    1900 Federal Census, Hamilton County, Tennessee, 8 June, Chattanooga, District 68, page 13B, 1021 East 11th St, Hse #288, Fam #326

    In 1922, David is in the household of his brother Arnold Edison Keith in Atlanta, Georgia.  Arnold is working at David's establishment, which appears to be a lunch counter.  Note the occupational designation for David as simply "lunch."

    In the 1930 census, David is reported as 78 years old.  This would mean he was born in 1872.  But other censuses report him of an age to be born in the year 1867.  And his known birth date from family sources is 2 November 1867.  His brother Louis' age is way off from other reports also.
