See wife's entry for differences between St. Joseph's Marriage Records and Ross. His birth date extrapolated from his age at marriage: 34 in 1891.

      His brother Rollie Knaggs states tha his brothr Alex was so rotund a man that he weighed mor that his wife and five small children. His wife weighed 100 pounds, but he weighed about 240 pounds.
