Jim. The easiest way to be sure who his parents were is to ask the Social Security
Administration. His SSN was 362-09-2119. I have a gut feeling that you are wrong about
his mother. I found an Ora M Mendenhall in the 1910 census in Jay county, Jefferson
township, living with his grandmother Sara J Manor. As you may know Jay and Randolph
counties and Winchester is right near the boundry as is Jefferson township on the other
side. I think he might be the son of John Mendenhall and Rosa Manor who married in Jay
county on 20 Dec 1890. source is book C-G, page 49. Just a feeling as he always seemed to
use his middle initial and the son of Rose V did not.. Am not related. Good luck.
Good luck. Don
