Hi Clemm:
You're right. I had 1921 in my program but the obit said 1929, and was
thinking "what's wrong here".
I think maybe his surviving daughter, Wanda Marie has his birth date wrong.
His Baptism below would make him age 23 at the end of WWII which is more
realistic.
Secondly, he lists "two" sets of grandchildren; one set of three and one set
of four. Could Wanda have been married to someone else before Peter Atkinson
for the set of 3? Annie Elizabeth Vaughan in 1996 is only survived by 3
grandchildren. Willis and Annie's other 3 children didn't live to adulthood.
