What are you talking about? There is not any clear evidence that this person is the same person as the one alive today and there is a 96-year gap from the 1920 census to the claim surfacing in 1920. That leaves a lot of room for identity-mixups, age-exaggeration etc. Note that there is a person exactly ten years younger than the person you are so certain is John Willaim Douglas. How can you be so sure that the person alive today isn't the younger of the two?
