Notes for William Albert "Willie" CRENSHAW
A transcription from Corinth Cemetery, Fol[e]y, MO obtained from June Groshong lists a Willie E. Crenshaw Jan. 21, 1867 - Sept 14, 1892.255 From the William Nelson Crenshaw obituary135, we know that Willie Albert died before his father, and the dates are correct for this. Furthermore, the 1880 Census lists "Willie A" aged 13 yrs in William Crenshaw's household.143 Since the age matches the birthdate of the cemetery transcription, it seems likely that this is the same individual and the middle initial is incorrect at some step in the cemetery transcription process.
