Eirls as being 29 Mar 1949 and he is buried at Dekalb, MO at Westlawn Cemetery, I'm not sure about the plot number but it is on the corner by the school. Along with him you will find Nellie Marie Eirls Mason died 20 Jan 1954, there is also some McDevitts that fit in with this family but I don't know right off the top of my head exactly how. I think Alice Mcdevitt might have been an Eirls. I can find out if you are interested. Lon is in the 1930 US Census with Nellie his wife, Lonel and Deloris. Nellie sometimes went by Marie , she was married to Loyd Aaron Mason and they had four children Charles, Harold, Mary Jane and Findley but was changed to Finley in the service and he lives in Dekalb. Nellie was a sister to Lon and maybe to Jess, I know he is related somehow. Lons parents were Phillip H. and either Ollie or Olive Eirls my aunt said she thinks Ollie's maiden name was Houseman but she isn't sure. I haven't found much on them other the census records. There is a Lonel Eirls buried in Leavenworth.
