  • There is an online death certificate for "Claud Clarence Windham" from Lake Charles, LA. Parents listed as Frank and Betty Windham. His wife is listed as Neva Windham.

  • I found an online death certificate for "William Franklin Windham" from Hidalgo County, NM. Date of birth listed is Nov 2, 1885. Date of death is Jan 14, 1957. He was born in MS, which is pretty convincing that he's our W. F. Windham Jr.  Interestingly, the informant, Mrs. Tama Windham, did not know who is his father or mother was.
