DEATH
Hettie died in Van Zandt County, Texas. I assumed it was before December 1917 because her husband remarried.
Question about HETTIE's Death
Did Hettie Jane Bryant Clay Rakestraw die before December 1917? Her husband, John Frank Rakestraw, remarried in Dec 1917, but her son, George Edwin Clay, listed her as his nearest relative on his WWI registration dated Sept 12, 1918.
Nearest relative Sept 12, 1918
