Robert;
Well, believe it or not, there is no obit on this guy and I checked three
papers. Maybe he is like most artists and don't become famous until after
they die. Anyway, I did do an death cert transcription for you that will
verify the parentage. Here it is:

Source:San Diego 50-847

5302 Orange Avenue, San Diego, CA
Died:12:30 pm, 3/14/1942, Wilson's Rest Home, San Diego, CA
Male, White, Married, Artist (painter), Age 79 years 11 months 5 days.
Spouse:Elizabeth F. Reiffel (age 67)
Birth:4/9/1862, Indianapolis, Indiana
FA:Jacob Reiffel, Indiana
MO:Nancy Marshall, Ohio
Cause:Chronic interstitual nephritis, Diabetes
Dr:R. O. Taylor
Mort:Bradley-Woolman

I looked for marriage records as well and failed there as well.
