• Notes

  Not much has been found on James Elmer Findley. This obit was published on 4 March 2012 in the Spokane (Washington) Spokesman for Peggy Ann Smalls, an apparent daughter: "SMALL, Peggy Ann (Age 63) Of Spokane, Washington, died in the early morning hours on Saturday, February 25th at her home. She was preceded in death by her mother and brother, Joy Lyn Marrs and James Elmer Findley, Jr. Survivors include her father, James E. Findley, Sr.; two sisters: Sharon L. Howard and Susan J. Loomis; and her children: Kimberly A. Seilhamer and Charles T. Butler Jr. A memorial service for our beloved will be held on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 from 6pm to 9pm at the Cascade Senior Living Park Community Center located at 2311 W. 16th Avenue, Spokane, WA 99224. If unable to attend, pink flowers sent the day before or the day of would be greatly appreciated. Peggy loved pink flowers." Peggy's age of 63 calculates to a birth year of 1949. Was she a twin, see below? Also, SSDI for James E. Findley, died 18 Feb 2012, Spokane. Presumably the brother mentioned. Born 23 May 1949. These may be the wrong family because the senior James E. Findley, born 1904, could not be living today.
