For “Born” ABT 1858 of August Schimke

"August Schimke, Birth 1858 Germany, Death 4 Jan 1917, Maryborough... Date of Burial 5/01/1917, aged 59 years. Last Address ISLAND PLANTATION, MARYBOROUGH. Mother: Carolina Labod. Father/parent: Christian Schimke."

The burial register gives his age at death as 59 on 4 JAN 1917, which places the birth between January 1857 and January 1858; the memorial states 1858. Recorded as ABT 1858 rather than an exact year. This replaces the tree's 1869, which came from the Ancestry member tree and is impossible: his father died 6 JAN 1866.
