Surnames: Mathis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/2912.1 Message Board Post: I don't know if the obits I found are the right Charles Mathis--but this man died in September, 1953 at the age of 77. No birthdate given in either obit. He is listed as a resident of Prosperity, Mo., and a former Webb City resident. He was survived by his widow, Bertha, 2 daughters and two sons, a stepson Truman Walton, and 3 brothers--Sam, Dick, and Frank. Burial was to be in Webb City Cemetery. Let me know if you think this might be your man, and I'll send along the obits to you--send me your snail mail address.
