    2. In a message dated 01/09/2002 7:07:04 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > To: [email protected] > The Dilday Funeral Home of Huntingdon, TN records the following: Dr. R. Virgil E. Massey was an M. D., General Practice. Dr. Massey died in Huntingdon, TN on 13 Jan 1946, age 54 years 16 days; cause of death was coronary thrombosis. Huntingdon was his residence. He was born 28 Dec 1891 in TN. He was buried 15 Jan 1946 in Oak HIll Cemetery. Dr. Douglass was his physician. Dr. Massey served in World War I. Dr. Massey's father was W. A. Massey - b. in TN. His mother was Denie Pritchard - b. TN. Dr. Massey's spouse was Hazel Harper, age 48 at Dr. Massey's death. The informant was Davidson, who lived in Huntingdon. I looked further and found the death of his spouse, Hazel Harper Massey. Hazel was b. 4 Sep 1896 in TN. She was the daughter of Thomas K. Harper and Lucille Moore. Hazel was a housewife. She died 20 Oct 1977 at 81 years of age. She was buried in Oak Hill also. She died at her residence at 308 Plus Park, Nashville, TN. Her physican was Dr. John J. Wolfe, Jr. The funeral was at Dilday Funeral Home in Huntingdon on Oct 22 by Rev. Pinkley of the Christian Church. Her survivors inlude a daughter, Mrs. Virginia Davidson; 3 grandchildren; and 1 great-grandchild. In addition, I found a son, Willam Harper Massey. William's death information is sketchy in the Dilday records. The record shows he was buried 3 May 1948 at Oak Hill. The record indicates that he served in World War II and his body was returned from overseas so it leads me to believe he was killed in the war.. It also indicates his father b. in TN and mother b. in TN. There is no other info on William Harper Massey. Hope this helps you.
