Response:
I was going through this web site and I found a number of discrepancies in the Obit of James Arnold Wood who died Mar. in March of 1946. It lists the death of his first wife as 1919. She had two children after that. Her death date was 1923, her youngest son Earl was born in 1922. It also says one of his daughters was Mrs. Harry (Virgil) Berwiebe and should be Verwiebe. It also lists one of the children as Albert and it should be Alberta.
I am the granddaughter of James and he lived with us. My dad was Kenneth Wood. I don't know if this info is important to you or not, but I thought I'd let you know. I found one more after looking at the site again, It lists Leah's name as Waldon and should have been Wolden
God Bless You
