Death: he is not listed in the 1900 Census w/Samuel or Sarah; believed to have died or moved out of the home before this time. A lot of people have him listed as dying the same day as John Henry (his brother) — this is inaccurate. John Henry died on 14 Feb 1952 and that has been verified.

It is important to note that John Henry went missing for several years. We do not know where he went during his absence, but only that he showed up years later with no explanation. There is a story behind it that if you’re interested in knowing, please contact me directly. I will eventually add a page for him, specifically, that will tell the story for historical purposes.)

Death 14 Feb 1952 in Missouri, United States
