Comments:
There seems to be some discrepancy in the obituary with the name of the
father or the person who died on 7 Sept. 1938. Social Security death date is
given as 10 Feb. 1989.
Need to recheck the obituary and confirm with others in the family.
Roxie shows a birthdate of 22 Oct. 1906 for him and Social Security has the
13th.
