As shown by his death certificate (see multimedia file), Charles Gilbert Lay lived at 906 Jester Street in Dallas. He died at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital and his body was removed for burial at Lavernia. His parents were given as Francis F. M. Lay and Nannie J. Weems (actually it was Green) and his profession was given as painter (actually it was printer). This information was incorrect in several aspects but it was apparently given by the Registra of the VAH, rather than by a family member.
