Photos of his gravestone - added by Jake Dog - are posted with 
   Find a Grave Memorial #103521672. 

D.Cert. 20865 (Suffolk #282) gives b. 23 Nov 1884. 

His WW-I draft card gives b. 7 Nov 1877. 

His widow, Annie Mary (BOYCE) BYRUM, is also problematic.  Her gravestone 
   shows b. 23 Jun 1886; however, they m. 25 Mar 1896, so her d.o.b. cannot 
   be correct.
