I then went to the Snohomish County records and picked up a certificate of death, which contains the following information. Casey Vaughn Loomis, b. 10 Oct 1896 North Dakota, d. 4 Jun 1973 Everett General Hospital, Everett, Washington. His usual occupation was Plant Superintendent, Evergreen Frozen Foods. He lived at 1009 Cole Avenue, Snohomish, Washington. Father Wilbur Loomis, mother Nellie Bleanche Vaughn, wife Lilyan Loomis (maiden name Lilyan Caldwell) Death was caused if I read this correctly was a ruptured aorta or something like that. If you want the certificate of death let me know and I will mail it to you, no obligation. In box for burial it says cremation, 7 Jun 1973. I called Purdy and Dawson that used to be in Snohomish and found out they moved to Monroe, Washington, to find out if he was placed in a cemetery somewhere. I just got a call back from Purdy and Dawson in Monroe. He said the records indicate that he wanted his remains scattered at sea. His son Michael and his wife asked the 13th Naval District Command in Seattle that his remains be scattered at sea and on 18 Jun aboard the USS Southerland his wish was carried out. Hope this helps Bill Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
