Biography

The 1920 US Census for Kansas has a P. M. Amyx listed. They unfortunately butcher his name and his wife's. The ages listed for both of them seems 10 years off, not sure what to think about that, ages 48 and 45 where I would have expected 58 and 55 or so. This would need further investigation.
