  MissScarlett: The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 19th September, 1912, p.21:

<From Washington, D.C., comes news of the marriage, early in September of Albert W. Fox to Miss Wimsatt, sister of W. K. Wimsatt, president of the Southern Chess Association and prominent in Washington chess circles. When in his teens, Fox displayed the same precocity as Capablanca, but, although he has made his mark in international chess, other pursuits in due course called him from the chessboard.>

  Tabanus: The WW 1 reg. card and the US Social Security Death Index both says he was born June 4, 1880. But the gravestone has June 5.
