Thank you, Ron, for your helpful information. I'll
see what I can find. I know he had a brother alive at
the time of his death. However, that generation and
the following are gone so I will have to be content
with what is in the records.

I'm hoping the question re descendants will be
answered by the coming 1930 census -- if I can find
him. He was in the army in France in 1918 and that's
the last record I have.
