I'm looking for help with a very elusive ancestor, Victor Eugene Hall. I'm having a lot of trouble getting information about him. Here's what I know: He was born 6 Feb 1901 in Missouri. In 1938 he went to California, and in 1942 his son was born in Oakland, CA. Victor was working as a Flangers Helper at Dodd Shipping Yards at that time, and was married to Mollie Norene Henard, from whom he was later divorced. The next definite "sighting" I have of him was Dec 10, 1953 when he married Reba Cubbison in Kansas City, Jackson co., Missouri. I cannot find Victor Hall anywhere - looking at censuses I have found several of them born in Missouri about the same time, but have ruled out all but one. This one has a sister named Verda Hall Lopp. I cannot find a death certificate for Victor in any of the online databases. He died sometime between 1959 and 1993. I did find a death certificate for his wife Reba Cubbison who died 10 Dec. 1993 but it only lists her as a widow. I have requested a lookup from the Missouri Historical Society to see if they can find an obit for her that might be of some help. She was buried in Benton co., Missouri (New Home Cemetery). Might anyone have an inventory of this cemetery? I'm hoping Victor is there as well, with dates on his headstone. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'd be grateful for any clues you might be able to provide, or ideas on how to get around this. Thanks! Karen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
