Connie,
Thank you so much.I believe your information puts us on the right track!The obituary for Rueban's son, George W. Dale, gives the names of his parents as Reuban and Helen Dale.The Frances H. Roberts could very well be "Helen" as the middle name.In the U.S. census reports, the place of birth for George W. Dale's father is given as Kentucky.
As for the military records, the family story is that Helen did not live much longer after Reuban's death and so we had thought there might not be a pension application.However, it could be worth a try.I know they do not charge unless they find it, or at least that's the way it has been in the past.We'll look into your other suggestions, also.Again, thank you very much.
