Some of my relatives had a James Gann living with them on the 1920 census. He was 17 and listed his birthplace as AR. He was a farm laborer. If this might be him, that might help.

I think the zip is 72360 & it is the Marianna Library. I'm pretty sure they would have obituraries for that year. More than likely it would be on Microfilm for the Courier Index (Marianna's Newspaper)
