Additional Comments:

       Cecil was born 19 April 1917 to John Henry Cokonougher (1883-1963) and 
Amelia Irene (Miller) Cokonougher (1900-1963).  He was a soldier in World War 
II, a farmer, and a postal rural route mail carrier.  He never married.  He 
died 23 Sept. 1966 at his residence of a heart attack and aneurism.  Cecil's 
brothers and sister were John Henry Cokonougher (1919-1994), Howard William 
Cokonougher (1922-1984), Herbert Miller Cokonougher (1924-1967), and Geraldine 
June (Cokonougher) Barnhart (1933-1993).
      On the day that he died, Cecil felt sick and called the local ambulance 
driver, who was also an undertaker, to come and get him.  Cecil then walked 
out to his front porch and sat on the steps to wait.  When the ambulance 
arrived, the driver found Cecil dead on the steps.
