Dan,
Jimmy was my mother’s double-first cousin and he was survived by a younger brother and sister. I wanted to share with you what Jimmy’s younger brother (William) wrote back to me.
“Jamie: Thanks for the facts regarding my older brother Jimmy's death. This varies from what we were told of how he died. At my Father's invitation, Harold Hall visited us in Cass Lake, Minnesota several years running after the war and kept in touch with various family members through the 1190s.Jimmy is now buried in your great grandparents plot in Fairlawn Cemetery, Oklahoma City along with our earlier brother of the same name who was still born. Keep in touch and I will try to answer all your questions. Best regards William”
My mother also was a resident at Cass Lake during Lt Hall’s visits and recognized him from the picture you sent. Thank you very much for the time and information that you provided for my family. Family history is important to us and you filled in some blank spots. I will post the military graduation photo of Jimmy when it is sent to me.
Thank you again for going above and beyond.
Jamie
