Mel went to school with my mother and aunt in Adair County and his aunt (his mother's sister) lived "next door" to my grandparents and straight across the road from the school.
When my aunt married Mel, it was his second marriage and her third. They separated before his death. According to my aunt, Mel died at his home in Indianapolis. Apparently he was taken to the hospital and declared dead there. Both his home and the hospital are located in Indianapolis, but his death certificate indicates he was taken to the location in Beech Grove.
Mel came to visit my mother and me often while he was married to my aunt. We both enjoyed his company a lot. He was both intelligent and funny.
Mel was the grandson of John Levi and Mary Susan (Roy) Conover. His grandmother died before 1930. When the federal census was enumerated on April 22, 1930, he was living at the home of his widowed maternal grandfather in the White Oak district of Adair County, Kentucky, along with his mother (listed as Pearl) and brother Edward.
