This is supported by his name on the following: His Marriage Certificate; His Military Records; US Census Records 1880, 1900, 1920, 1930, 1940, other US Census Records has his name as JJ Mead. He went by the name JJ when I was growing up. Would you make a note in his memorial that his name on the Tombstone is in error.
