Karen, thank you for the obit on Mary Frances Downs Mattingly. I had not seen this one before. I have only sparse information on this Lois Frances Mattingly Nicholas at this time. The last reference I have for the apparent husband of this particular Lois (Charles A. Nicholas) was that in 1953 he was a Master Sergeant in the Army and stationed at Fort Kobbe, Panama Canal Zone. Still don't know if he was married at the time. Every little bit helps and this adds a lot.
