Title: Re: [nscumber] Obit: HILTZ, Phyllis M. [nee GRAHAM]
Hi Gerry:
Thanks; a clue to check out.
I think the first marriage ended in divorce and Mr. Desmond disappeared out of the picture with Phyllis m/2 Mr. Hiltz sometime before 1952.

Two queries from this obit.
How does granddaughter, Michelle (Cory) Mitchell fit in? Is she Marlene’s daughter? By Douglas G. Strong?
Does anyone have a death date or an obit for William Francis Norris Desmond?
Thanks in advance.
