Ken was 17 years old when his parents moved to Lafayette, IN. He attended and graduated from Purdue University in 1939. Ken never married and had no children.
Note: Family records show that Ken was born in 1914; however, his military record and gravestone report a birth year of 1915. The census records (1920, 1930 and 1940) seem to confirm the 1914 birth year. This needs to be verified against Ken's original birth certificate for us to be 100% sure.
