Biography
Chester and his wife, Nina, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary shortly before her death.
Sources
- Personal knowledge.
The source for the date of their wedding is Eloise Shaw Whittington. The source for the dates of their deaths are his death certificate (with corrections based on personal knowledge) and her listing in the Louisiana Online Vital Records database, which can be found at <http://www.sos.la.gov/HistoricalResources/ResearchHistoricalRecords/Pages/OnlinePublicVitalRecordsIndex.aspx>. If you research deaths in Louisiana, bookmark this link. Once upon a time, there was a link to the database on the secretary of state's home page, but they have since buried it three pages down.
Nina is pronounced NYE-nah and not KNEE-nuh.
