  • Notes 
    • His death certificate gives his father's name as Finness - probably because few people have heard the name Zimri and don't spell/transcribe it correctly - more likely because Mary Louise didn't know. He died in the state hospital and there is no burial infomation listed. The informant was Gladys Gray, probably a clerk at the hospital. It gives his usual address as Davidson County and suggests that he has been in the hospital at least three years and was married at the time of admittance.
      I didn't find headstones for Jasper or for Mary Louise.
