An online calculator gives the time of sunrise at
KLEX on that date as 6:04:37 AM.

I entered "sunrise calculator" on Google and it spat this:

http://www.exptech.com/sunrise.htm

I selected LEX and the date from the drop down menus, the "Daylight Time"
box is checked. It gives sunrise as 06:04:37 AM.

It seems odd that there is a "Daylight Time" box at all.

It is also odd that it doesn't agree with:
