Note: His marriage to Thelma in 1944 was his second; his first marriage was in Ottumwa, IA, on January 19, 1929, to Mabel ROBERTS. In a listing of burials at Evergreen Cemetery, John was noted as dying on April 13, 1965; perhaps this is a burial date once the Anatomical studies were completed. Interment was in Lot 1st.066.
