I am looking for ANYONE who can help me with my fathers line. There is not much known about my grandfather, other than what very little my grandma will tell and what I found in his obituary. It is my hopes that someone will recognize a name and be able to help me. This is my last hope. This is what I found: Chester Thomas Madison was married to Caroline Alberta (Link). He was born July 16,1912. His parents were Joseph E. Madison and Myrtle T. Charleston (thanks to his death certificate, I was able to get his parents names!) He lived in Kansas City, Missouri his entire life. Died March 26,1982 at St. Joseph's Medical Center. Buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery. He was a member of St. Matthew's Catholic Church, The Knights of Columbus and the VFW. He has a son, Earl J. Madison, a half-brother Thomas E. Elwood, and sister Jenny McMackin, of Los Angeles. I have not been able to locate his parents on the 1920 census. I know they were in Jackson County. I did try the soundex, with no luck. I would like to contact his son, but am a little fearful in doing so, because I am not sure that he knows he has a brother and sister out there and I do not know how he would react... Any help would be appreciated :) Thank you!
