There is disagreement on the date of Oliver's death. His grave marker says April 8 and this date appears in John Chilton's Who's Who in Jazz, as well as in his biography at AllMusic. However, in his biography at Portraits from Jelly Roll's New Orleans, by Peter Hanley, the author quotes an April 10 date from Oliver's Chatham County, Georgia, death certificate No. 8483.
