The Wrong Everett

Alas, the photo we found of Everett Westgate is the wrong Everett Westgate.

The right Everett is something of a mystery. We know when he was born and when he died. We know where he lived when he was two years old. We have some of his Army records. But we don't know where he died, which would lead us to an obituary, which would lead us to children or other surviving family members.

We're not without leads, though. His older brother's obituary mentions a sister, who would be about 90 now. And we can check the city vital records where we think he was born. I plan to get to that this week, so we may have more to report.
