Church of Light quotes Ed Weiner, "The Damon Runyan Story" 1948, for October 8, 1880, 6:18 AM LMT. That biography gives October 3, 1880 with no time of birth. Current Biography Obit gives October 4, 1884-1946. Steinbrecher quotes "Pioneers of the Bluestem Prairie" for an account of the Runyan family, where the birthdate for Alfred Damon is given as October 3, 1880.<br />
