An obituary appeared in the April 7 1938 issue of both of the West Union weekly newspapers. The version appearing in "The Record" omitted a surviving daughter and incorrectly listed the deceased's sister Lucretia as a surviving daughter. The version appearing in "The Herald" was correct in the listing of surviving family members. - [S14] Obituary, West Union Record, Thursday, Apr 7 1938.
