I think the other article said he died in January 1926. If that is true, there may be an obituary in the Wilkes County papers in late January or early February. I don't know the names of the newspapers in 1926 in Wilkes County, but I'll bet someone can tell you. If you get the newspaper name, the library or archive system may have back issues in either Wilkes County or the state of North Carolina archives. Rae Williams www.grannyandpopacaldwell.com

Here's a link to a list of all the newspapers from Wilkes that are available through inter-library loan (ILL): http://statelibrary.dcr.state.nc.us/ncnp/wilke.htm. It looks like the Wilkes Journal covers from 1924-1932. Good luck with the search!
