*****Obituary shows died on the 27th and funeral on the 28th.  Death Certificate
shows that the undertaker showed up on the 28th to file the death cert and that
John died on the 28th.  I tend to believe the obituary instead of the death cert
since the obituary was printed on the day of the funeral (May 28, 1928).  
(Spelling of wife's maiden name should be PETERSON..from personal knowledge and
source documents.)
