I'll add text in brackets [ ] so this obituary information will be more informative since the reader might not know the cities mentioned or the dates that are mentioned.
The mother of Joyce Cowden Blume must have been hoping for a daughter to be born, since she named her only son, Joyce Cowden Blume.
Being a guy myself, I can understand how much Joyce must have hated to have a woman's first name.
I can only imagine the teasing that he must have gone through by the other boys that he grew up with.
It reminds me of that Johnny Cash song, "A Boy Named Sue".
I have found records for Joyce Cowden Blume where he only used his first name initial of "J" and then later in his life he started saying that his first name was "Jack".
