Photos / deviating birth/death date

A photo of Osterhout's secretary is available as File:Nina Kobelt (1884-1973) (5493916785).jpg (the description page gives Osterhout's birth and death year as 1894-1961, not as 1871-1964 - is the article really correct here?). A photo of his second wife is available as File:Marian Irwin Osterhout (1888-1973) (5493881239).jpg. However, I couldn't yet find a photo of himself, and without the latter, it doesn't make much sense to show one of the former, does it?. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 12:28, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to the sources, he entered Brown University in 1889. Praemonitus (talk) 14:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
