Joe Cannon's "autobiography" by William Busbey, specifically asserts that Dr. Horance Cannon died in 1851 and also asserts, at a different location, that Joe was 14 years old at the time. I have written several biographical sketches of Cannon over the years and never have had reason to change that date. Indeed, I believe I found reference to his father's drowning in a contemporary newspaper report but I do not want to represent that as supporting evidence since I do not have the story in front of me. Accordingly, I have changed the text which read that Joe was ten years old when his father died in 1846. If anyone has contrary authority, please advise.

"Cannon brought a federal Veterans Administration Hospital to Danville; it continues to serve military veterans"

How could Joe Cannon have brought a VA Hospital to Danville when the VA wasn't created until 1930, years after he died? Doug O'Connell (talk) 07:57, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Originally, the hospital was established as a veterans home in 1898 and provided veterans with shelter, education, and employment in addition to medical care. In 1935, five years after the Veterans Administration was established, the Veterans home was incorporated into the VA. [1] 67.64.114.151 (talk) 09:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
