Research Notes

There is no photo of his headstone because he is one of the 25-50 Unknown unmarked graves.

He is NO LONGER unknown at least to the fact that the obituary states he was laid to rest at Franktown Cemetery..................... His name is on the Andrews Funeral home list, but no map.........

SO FOR now I am adding his name to a funeral plaque that is faded... Section South East along fence near McFatter military headstone, see photo.......

NOTE: f-a-g has his residence address but Chester died in Denver General hospital according to obit..............
