A summation of my genealogical research on a certain family member

This person is my first cousin three times removed.  Because he is deceased, I think that I can go ahead and give his name in full, as far as I know it correctly.  This narrative helps me to see the facts of his life so that I might determine what other records to search.  It is a recommendation of genealogical educators that compiling a narrative can be a way to test the facts and information we have researched; omissions will be obvious.  For example, I have reviewed the following narrative and see that there is no marriage record listed!

Was the gentleman ever married?  If not, did he reside with family members or live alone.  What was his occupation?  A narrative must address the absence of resources as well as the existence of them.  Help me out, if you will.  Read the following and suggest to me what other life events of his did I possibly overlook?  What else needs to be included?  Perhaps, "did he go to church"?  Was he a church member, and if so, where did his membership records reside?  As I have reviewed my narrative, I see that I haven't explored all of the census information.  What will that source show?  What else do you see that I might have overlooked?

The Narrative of Augustus "Gus" Harris

• He was born 24 April,1892 and he died in 1946.

• He is my first cousin three times removed on my mother’s side.

• He registered for the draft (World War I) in 1917-18. His home address at that time was Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida. He was 40 years old at the time of his registration. He worked at Bullock- Caldwell Shipbuilding Company on the Waterfront. His nearest relative was Carolyn Harris, his mother (she lived in Crestview at this point in time). His physical description: Short in height; stout in build, and had gray eyes and brown hair. The date that this form was filled out was September 12, 1918.
  
  
• Gus had two brothers (as of the 1880 Census): Samuel and Henry.
• In 1900, Gus was living with his family in Santa Rosa County. Father, Henry and mother, Caroline now have five boys: Gus is the oldest, then Henry (Jr.?); Archie, Curtis, and Allen.
  
  
• Obituary October 8^th, 1946: "Funeral services were conducted Saturday at 3:00 p.m. at Live Oak Church for Mr. Gus Harris, 69 year old pioneer of this section, who died suddenly Friday morning of a heart attack at the home of his brother on Shoal River. Services were conducted by the Rev. Luke Henderson, with interment following at the Live Oak Cemetery. McLaughlin Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. Survivors include three brothers, Archie of Caryville, FL., Curtis and Dan of Crestview, Florida.

NOTE: AS I EXPLORED THE DETAILS OF THIS PERSON, THE SOURCES WERE CONTRADICTING IN THE MATTER OF HIS BIRTH. HE MAY HAVE BEEN BORN AS EARLY AS 1877. OR, PERHAPS THERE WAS A CHILD BORN THEN WHO LATER DIED AND THE NEXT CHILD WAS ALSO NAMED “AUGUSTUS” OR GUS?
