John Scanlon # 2: Death

I have also found the probable death certificate of John Scanlon – the plausible brother of the ‘Missouri Cornelius.’

John Scanlon of Mt. Pleasant, Lawrence County, Missouri – died in August of 1930 – at the age of 84 – after the enumeration of the 1930 U. S. census. 

The record states he was born in Ireland on 17 February 1846. 

This record lists the names of his parents:  John Scanlon and Ann [Laugher or Laughur or Laughlin?], both born in Ireland.

The informant was one “Mrs. John [Gomer or Gormer?] of Wentworth, Missouri [1].
