John E. Vangsness's Obituary
In the second to last paragraph at the very bottom, it says that "Three brothers have preceded him in death, Anders, Carl and one having died in infancy." If this is true, his mother and father must have had 6 children, one which died in infancy, his name unknown to us, his birth and death dates unknown to us. It would be interesting to try and investigate this.
It seems that John E. was fairly healthy until just nine days before his death when he caught a cold. Read his obituary....
