Does TBCB have referees from the early 1900s?

I've restarted my Golden Age of Boxing Association universe/group, which for simplicity's sake includes everyone whose career started before 1920.

Some of the rules are abstract--I'm just arbitrarily starting everybody with fights in 1895, even if they were not really active then.

But I would like to include actual, historical referees. The game has a lot of retired refs, but there is no indication of when they were active.

Can anybody tell me the names of ten or so refs from 1890-1920?

George Siler of course, Charlie Eyton, Ed Graney, Eugene Corri, Billie Roche, Jack Welch, Charley White, Ollie Pecord, and Dave Barry were probably the best refs around during the period in question.

You can add Hugh McIntosh, who refereed the Johnson-Burns bout in 1908.
