    Notes:

    Buried:
    I believe John was cremated and this stone in Warrenton Cemetery is just a Military Stone. He may be buried there but death cert. does not list a cemetery and wife Lucy was cremated.

    John married Lucy Beckham. Lucy was born Oct 1907, Virginia; died 13 Sep 1968, Clarke County, Virginia; was buried , Cedar Hill Crematory, Washington, DC. [Group Sheet]
