I think some WW II overseas cemeteries have been posted on the Internet. Perhaps that is a route to take. But I do know he isn't listed in the Sumner Co. Cemetery Book, and limited research in Robertson Co., hasn't turned up anything. Nor is he at Spring Hill in Nashville. There are two family cemeteries, but neither contains a monument. If he wrote a will, he didn't file it in Sumner Co. where he lived when inducted. In my research of this family, I've ordered every document bearing the Bloodworth name from the Sumner County Archives, and there's no will. The reason this is so important to me is because John William Bloodworth was the only man from Hendersonville killed in WW I, and he was my mother's first cousin. My brother, Arthur Eugene Stark, was one of four from there killed in WW II. Joyce
