Biography
John was born in 1886 to John Finley and Mary Elizabeth (London) Stacy. He married twice, being widowed by his first wife, and passed away in 1963 at 77 years old.
There is conflicting documentation on his birth year. His WW I, WW II draft registrations and U.S., Social Security Death Index all list 1886. However, his Death Certificate lists 1885. Perhaps the informant was in error.
