Additional information contributed by FAG member Vicki Wright on 3 March 2017:
The information from the Death Certificate is incorrect. It was supplied by his widow, Anna Gertrude Jones Brashear. He was not a junior but Grandma most likely added the junior because with them living with his parents and both having the first name of Walter, he was most likely called Junior to differentiate between the two of them. Also his Mother's maiden name was Emma Victoria Hipple, not Anna. His death being unexpected and causing a time of stress, Grandma, his wife, was evidently not thinking straight when asked for this information. He was my Grandfather and I am familiar with the circumstances. The posted obituary also spells the names of two survivors wrong, Orran should be Orian, and Elsie Urns should be Elsie Turns.
