Additional Comments:
The informant is listed as John Baxter, also known as Johnny H. Baxter, who is 
my father.

NOTE: Elmer's father was Sanford H. Baxter. My father, the informant on this 
document, states Elmer's father was John Baxter. This is not a true statement.
I have documented from two census records (1900, 1910) that Sanford H. Baxter 
was the father of Elmer F. Baxter. The reason my father made this misstake is 
this. My father told me he was named after his two grandfathers. Ones name was 
John Marion Tant, the other was Sanford H. Baxter. Sanford's nickname was Sanny 
or Sandy, and that is probably what my father heard him referred to and thought 
his first name was John, when acually John was the name of his mother's father. 
I have tried to explain this mix up for the readers here and for the 
generations after me, who may also read this.

NOTE: The date of death on the death certificate states that Elmer F. Baxter 
died Nov. 12, 1949. His tombstone states that he died Nov. 11, 1949. Being an 
official document the date of death on the death certificate would be correct.
