Robert, this is great!! I'm not so worried about the two ages being
different. The Leavenworth home is the "Western Branch" referred to in the
report to the Board of Managers, so the two are the same person. I tend to
go with that record for his age, as I have him as born in 1817, and that
matches. Also there are census records that support 77 years old.

One question, does the fact that they have a grave number mean that he was
buried on the grounds of the home? Do you know?

Thanks, for the information!

Keith

Keith:

Found the following on Jacob Burger. Note the grave number 1097 in the
Death Register info below. Perhaps this will be a clue.
Best of luck in your search.

My ggg grandfather, Jacob Burger, is said to have died Feb 21, 1896 at
the National Military Home in Bain City. How do I find out if he is
buried there? Does anyone have a contact, or is willing to do the lookup
to see?
I'm assuming that the normal approach for death records of that period
would apply here.
