Notes:

In her annotated census of the Gravel Hill Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary notes that his tombstone was a double with Earline Bennett Conn, and was inscribed: Precious memories - Wed 11 Nov 1946

There was also a Military Marker: John Dixon Conn - T Sgt US Army WW II

FindAGrave shows him, in error, as a son of George Franklin Conn and Frances Isom Conn. He is actually their grandson.

John married Vera Earline Bennett on 11 Nov 1946. Vera (daughter of William Earl Bennett and Ethel Lee Scott) was born on 3 Nov 1929 in Sabine County, Texas; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
