The enumerator has made an error here, according to community memory. Earl was a twin with a brother Burrell, according to Edith McSwain Jenkins. Twins are reported in this census, but the twin is a girl. It appears that the enumerator heard Burrell (or Burl) as Pearl, and entered the twin as a female. According to Edith M Jenkins, Burrell was retarded. Few details are known.

I found that Jerry Griffitt reported a different date of death than that shown on Elmer's gravestone. Jerry says 6 March 1966, and the grave says 9 March.
