Kenneth Bernard Cardwell 1921-1983 Granite City Madison Illinois
Greetings,
Kenneth Bernard Cardwell 1921-1983 was my fathers (Harry Earl Spencer) cousin.
he m. Delores Mae Little and has 4 sons Richard, Thomas, Robert and James
His parents were:
Joseph B Cardwell
April 2 1881 Franklin Co Mo
Oct 6 1942 St Louis Mo
Alice Spencer
Mar 27 1881 St Louis Mo
July 30 1965 St Louis
Both are buried at;
Resurrection Cemetery Section 11 Lot 835,
St Louis Missouri
My fathers recollections;
Alice, my fathers aunt, married the well to do Mr Cardwell and settled in St Louis. They have a good life, and 3 boys.
Robert and James were born 1915 and 1917 and both became fighter pilots and flew P-51 Mustangs in Europe and both were killed during the war.
He never knew them because he lived in Jonesburg Montgomery Co Mo. He just knew that story.
What I'm looking for is descendants of Kenneth and possibly confirm the family story.
Also I have the Cardwell Family history going back to the late 1700's. If you are interested I will gladly supply it to you at no cost.
I have a picture of Kenneth with his cousin Tom Kohler, great grandsons of James Spencer and Cecilia Gerard.
