View Jack's Arizona death certificate.
Jack died in Comstock Hospital of Tuberculosis. He was a truck driver by trade. Communication with a documented descendant of Perry, Jack's father, indicates that Jack had assumed his brother, Benjamin's, name when Jack came west. It is thought that perhaps he was a "scandalous" fellow and communication with others seems to support that supposition. Also it is family lore that Perry, Jack's father, was not a very nice person, either. At his death his wife, Elizabeth, told her children that under no circumstances was she to be buried in the same cemetery as her dead husband.
