Notes: Marriage (Ruenelle Lorna Copeland):

Their eldest child, Jean Lynette Davis, was born Sep. 13, 1948, Harris Co., Tx. It seems that after marriage, they decided to delay having children until after WWII. For 73 years of marriage, from his obituary, if they married on Feb. 5, 1941, that would be exactly 73 years on his death on Feb. 5, 2014. The 73-years could have been approximated, making early 1941 reasonable, back to as early as late 1940.
