You might try the Wyandotte County Historical Museum for an obituary from the Kansas City Kansan newspaper. It may list his parents' names. The e-mail for the archivist is jthornton@wycokck.org The staff is great. The website is http://www.wycokck.org/gen/wyco_generated_pages/Historical_Museum_m1192.html You could also send away for a death certificate to the state of Kansas (www.accesskansas.org) Death certificates are $13 and list both parents' names. The last option would be to send for a copy of his original application for Social Security (through the SSDI index). This also lists parents' names. The cost is $27.
