I thought about Miriam and the burial idea again, and remember seeing that she had been married before. (Was that on the Find a Grave page?) She could have buried him in a place where she was previously living and perhaps with a previous idea of what an appropriate burial site would be. If he died years before her and if she moved to a new town after that...
Do you know for a fact that JMH served in World War I? I remember looking at the original draft registration card (I don't recall it saying his middle name by the way) but I don't think I ran across any record that he did serve.
As you say, in 1917 JMH faced not only the danger of going to war but also the worldwide flu epidemic. But if he were missing in action or killed, wouldn't there be a record? The fact that we can't find a death record (so far anyway) almost seems to suggest he did not die in the war. His style is to move around and claim to have no next of kin, so his death may have been registered by some non-family member who did not have the usual info on him. That's pure speculation of course.
The birth record transcribed on Family Search for JMH had only the middle initial M. So you've got the original for JMH? I thought you said you'd sent for it and hadn't gotten it. Well, just too many details for me to remember all...!:D
I smiled at your comments about so many family trees. I agree, and yes they can't be trusted. The JRH puzzle was complicated and you hung in there (and still are) to amass as much concrete evidence as possible.
The Ancestry tree kinda seems like that of a family member, as if people's names came from family memory/family story rather than records. It's always fun to meet someone who shares your interest in the family. Hope he/she writes back.
