  The Daily News, Batavia, NY, Monday Evening, 22 April 1918. John Senn Dead Corfu, Apr 22 - John Senn, a former resident of Corfu, died at his home in Buffalo on Saturday evening. He is survived by his wife and a son in Buffalo, a brother, Henry C Senn of Batavia, and three sisters, Mrs Clara Colby of Corfu, Mrs Emil Gesse of Fargo and Mrs Julia Tubbs of Buffalo. The funeral will be held from the house at 1 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, after which the funeral party will come by automobile to Corfu to inter the remains in Evergreen Hill Cemetery.

• Notes

  He may be the John Senn listed in "Saul's Notes on Genesee County People". He is mentioned in Garrett Colby's obit with a wife and son. There is a John L Senn in Buffalo with wife, Alice and son Peter Joseph, born in 1899. This John dies before 1920. Peter married Mildred and had a daughter named Gail Ann. Peter, Mildred and Alice are all buried at Mount Calvary. [John's obituary confirms this information.] Much of my confusion about John has been his age on the 1910 census, he is listed as age 47 [1863] instead of age 40 [1870] as I expected. On the 1875, he is 6 [1869]; the 1880 says 10 [1870]. In 1905, he is 36 [1869], 1910, says he is 47 [1863] and in 1915, he is 47 [1868]. I don't think Alice knew his birth date.
