The decedent's D.Cert. (#15194 {Richmond #1927}) gives Edward Willie Caroon, 
   b. 30 Nov 1928, Va.; d. after 1˝ days at MCV, due to blunt head injury, 
   7-10 days before - cause "pending."  His WW-II draft registration also 
   gives b. 30 Nov 1928 {Ivor}. 

A typo on the application for his V.A. gravestone led to it being engraved 
   b. 30 Nov 1926 [which conflicts w/ bro T. Mason]; it is pictures with his 
   Find a Grave Memorial, #80732889.
