George Wayne Nash Jones and his wife, Adrienne, were kind enough to send this photograph
of William Stanley Nash to be shared by everybody.
William Stanley Nash was the son of Samuel Nash and Anna Gaffey. My information is that he was born in 1897 in Montana and died September 28, 1929. Thanks to Janet and Jim Nash who visited Nokomis Cemetery, Nokomis, Illinois in 1997, we have what was read by them on his monument. WILLIAM STANLEY NASH SEAMAN 2C US NAVY 9/28/1929.  At this time there is no clear indication of where he was living when he died. We do find him in the 1920 Census for Nokomis, Montgomery Co., Illinois where he is living with his sister, Charlotte, and her husband: Swarbrick, James, Head, Male, White, 26, Married, immigrated to the U.S in 1904, became a naturalized citizen in 1919, could read and write, was born in Scotland, as were both of his parents, James was a Coal Miner. Swarbrick, Charlotte, Wife, Female, White, 22, Married, born in Montana, could read and write, Father was born in England, Mother was born in England Swarbrick, Jean, Daughter, Female, White, 4 1/2, Single, born in Illinois Williams, David, Boarder Grace, John, Boarder Nash, Wm., Brother-in-law, Male, White, 23, Single, coud read and write, Born in Montana, both parents born in England, Coal Miner Nash, John, Brother-in-law, Male, White, 19, Single, could read and write, Born in Montana, both parents born in England, Coal Miner Just found this on the Death Search Results for the State of Illinois:
Nash, William, (no middle name listed), Male, White, Unknown Age, Certificate # 6027761, Death Date, 1929-09-28, County: Cook, City: Chicago, Date Filed, 29-09-30 This is also where we find Charlotte Swarbrick and her husband and family in the 1930 census. I think it is fairly safe to assume that the above is our William Stanley Nash who was only 32/33 years old when he died. Hopefully someday we will learn how he died. |
