Date of death and dates in office[edit]

I made a couple of changes because there are contradictions between the photo, the linked reference and the article near the start. Then I noticed further discrepancies and wondered if the book references disagreed with the online ref. Could someone with access to the books check it out?

The initial incorrect death date on the article was my bad, I apologize for that error. Neither book states his date of death; they state only that he died during a cholera epidemic that started in October.

I just did a Google Books search; the lists for his death dates range from the 26th to the 28th in the first few hits. I don't really know how to approach this situation. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 00:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
