Research Notes

The headstone that other researchers are showing for Ida also has the name of a person named Vance Ray with dates 1922 to 1938. It looks like this is her grandson, the son of Webster Dinsmore Wasson. I also can't find evidence that she moved to Oklahoma but that's where the Find A Grave listing says her headstone is located.

M. E. Wasson (Spouse) may need a profile.
