(5 Sep 1877 - 23 Mar 1935)
Death date from gedcom by Dave Reedy. He had only "living" for asecond wife in his second gedcom posted in 2004.
Sons James and Vinie are being estimated as his by his first wifebecause of the estimated marriage date from 1910 census. No childrenwere with him and second wife in 1910, so if ages are accurate, thisscenario seems reasonable. Possibly Catherine died with the birth ofthe last child.
