Additional Comments:
Based on my research and Census records. The birth date on the certificate is 
incorrect. Ples Storms was born Isaac Pleas Storms in 1869. I do know that 
(based on the story told by his daughter) he was shot by his neighbor after a 
card game. The shooter was tried in court but acquitted. My great-grandmother 
(Pleas' daughter- Mary Storms) stomped on the accused man's foot, after 
hearing the ruling, and swore that "when she got grown, she would kill that 
man for killing her daddy".
