Individual Details
John L. PRATER
(14 Mar 1912 - 15 Jun 1961)
Some online genealogies, as well as the Find-A-Grave listing show him as "John Leon", but James Richard's 1930 Census clearly shows those are two separate individuals. I believe I have separated the data on the two, but if you think I've not, let me know.
