Caution/Note: The Aspen Grove cemetery listing has the DOD for David H. Despain/DeSpain as October 4, 1925. Using the information dates in his October 6, 1925 obituary, it would appear that his death took place on October 2, 1925 instead (which would be a Friday). Will use that October 2, 1925 DOD for this memorial with that caution. Any clarification would be appreciated.
