The informant on the death cert. for Fred was the doctor who treated him in hospital. Fred has checked in box: married. I certainly have looked for his wife in the Soc. Sec. Death Index. I know only her married name and would have used that anyway. I found two Margaret Murrays in Fort Worth in TX Death Records that seemed likely but both were eliminated. (One married to Webster Murray and the other already a widow on 4 May, 1961) I now suspect Fred's wife may have moved house after his death. In re: two Freds in Woodbury. There seems to have been one born in 1893 who resided in the county in 1895. He could be the Fred boarding with John O'Neill later in 1920 Kedron, age 27. That gives him an identity and a middle initial separate from my grand uncle. As your scroll of census information and all other records for Fred indicate, Fred was not 27 in 1920 and this man was. Fred was b. 11 June 1889. Therefore, I do not have a middle name or initial for my relative. Everyone else in the family was given one. Perhaps he didn't like his and so, never used it. The F. Cen. of 1910 would have been taken just before my great grandfather's death on 23 Apr in a fall. Thank you for all of the good help you give. I think he disappears from the census after registering for the draft in 1917 because he served overseas. I have photos of him in uniform of WWI and WWII and one in Manila in civilian clothes.
