Biography

William Wynn was born in Appalachia, in Kentucky.

William Wynn was born on 23 August 1900 in Menifee County, Kentucky, United States, son of Jonathan William Wynn and Hattie Gibson.

In the 1900 census William (age 1) was the son of John Wm Wynn in Magisterial District 1, Menifee, Kentucky, United States.[1]

William registered for the WW I military draft in Menifee County, Kentucky.[2]

In the 1920 census Willie (age 20) was the single son of Johns Wynn in Menifee, Kentucky, United States.[3]

Willie (age 28) married Beulah Cress (age 21) on 15 April 1929 in Butler, Ohio, United States.[4][5][6]

In the 1940 census William (age 40) was the married head of household in Middletown, Butler, Ohio.[7]

William and Beulah relocated their family to Bartholomew County, Indiana about 1945. Beulah died on 26 Mar 1959 from burns sustained when her nightgown caught fire as she stood beside a coal heating stove.[8] She was buried in Garland Brook Cemetery in Columbus, Indiana.[9]

William died (age 77) on 31 August 1976 in Columbus, Bartholomew, Indiana[10] and was buried beside Beulah in Garland Brook Cemetery.[11][12]

Research Notes

  • Note the newspaper obituary has his birth in Winchester, Clark, Kentucky but the WWII draft registration that he provided information (see image at FindAGrave) shows Menifee County, Kentucky and that is used here.
