You are probably aware of the
www.findagrave.com memorial:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=speer&GSfn=...
--It identifies his parents as Troy Ellsworth Speer and Mary Ella Smith.
He is featured in a number of family trees, they have quite a difference in death date,
running from 1958, 1959, 1960. Your tree isn't listed in your profile, but you do
have one identifying him:

The actual Caliente City cemetery lists his date of death as 1958.

The wooden marker also shows 1958.
The WWII Draft Registration (Old Man's Draft) shows he is working for the Knox
Consolidated Coal Co. His wife Laura was a Knox, which you know. But, was this Knox name
related to the family?
