Biography

James Harry Utterback was born 14 Mar 1884 ^[1] in Calloway Co., Kentucky, USA to James Henry Utterback and his first wife, Frances Jane Curd. ^{[2] [3]} He married Hazel Roberta Stubblefield ^[3] (also seen as Lovings). ^{[2] [4]}

Harry worked as a carpenter with his father. Then, after his marriage, Harry and Hazel moved to Memphis, Tennessee at least by 1938 ^[5] where he worked as a paperhanger and Interior Decorator for at least 10 years. ^[6] He died 4 Jun 1961 in Murray, Calloway Co., Kentucky ^{[7] [8]} from a heart attack. ^[9]

Note: Although the "Utterback Book" by William Irvin Utterback ^[2] is used as a source, it is mainly used for lineage - many of the dates cited in the book are incorrect (and it only lists one wife for James Henry Utterback). Correct dates and names are taken from a family Bible. ^[9]
