Staples 55

I found the following information posted at the Rootsweb website. The exact name spelling (Fraser Wood Smith), the fact that the birthdate is in range (August ‘36), and the fact that his Social Security card was issued in CT—all seem to confirm, according to my research advisor, John Ottinger, that this is our guy. I found nothing by way of a supporting obit at either Westport online newspaper (westportnews.com or westportnow.com). Fraser was last living in Arlington, TX. According to the Rootsweb site he died April 7, 2007.

I also found on the Ancestry website a record of a divorce to a Mary J. My memory is hazy on this point but I am pretty sure Fraser was married for a time, and then divorced, to another classmate: Mary J. Faltings. If you have any additional information about Fraser’s life or passing, please use the Comments feature, below, to share with the class.
