"Reid S. Bemis, listed in Wales Cemetery records as b. 1862, is incorrect, according
to what I found. Listed in 1900 Greene Twp., Erie Co., Pa. Census is family
of Elmer Bemis. Reid is listed as a son, and his birthdate was entered as
Feb. 1891. So that corresponds with what you have. He is also listed as
being born in 1891, in:

A Twentieth Century History of Erie Co., Pa. by John Miller. Vol. 2, pub.
1909, Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago. pg 248-249. This was probably the
history that you mentioned. So it is a fair conclusion that the date in the
cemetery records was incorrect. I found no other information for either Reid
or Jennie, his wife.
