NOTES:

The obituary did not present either a birth date or a death date. The Social Security Death Index lists not one, but two Valentine DeFriends. And SSDI only lists 31 DeFriend's all together (as of this writing). Go figure!

1. VALENTINE DEFRIEND born 11 Apr 1883, died Mar 1977, residing at ZIP code 50472 (Saint Ansgar, Mitchell, Iowa); SSN 481-66-9215 issued in Iowa.

2. VALENTINE DEFRIEND born 11 Apr 1883, died Mar 1977, residing at ZIP code 55429 (Minneapolis, Hennepin, MN), SSN 482-66-5525 issued in Iowa.

Logic would say that Valentine had two SSN's and both are really the same person.
