Memorial# 65677621
Cecil is buried in Tahlequah, Cherokee Co, OK, with his family - at least there is a marker there. It is a military marker.
Pvt Co F 43 Engineers
World Ward II

Dept of Veterans Affairs Death File states he served in the US Army, World War II; enlisted 18 Aug 1941; released 16 Nov 1943

However, FindAGrave also lists him as buried Sunset Hill Cemetery in Potosi, Washington Co, MO which is where he died. There is no picture of the stone - I wonder if this entry is in error. His wife is buried in St. Francois Co Missouri along with son Larry.
