Story: A Death at La Junta Army Air Field (1944)

This census record is the only one in the state of Missouri that has a George Conn who was of the correct age and race to be the same George Conn who was the father of Lucy Conn.  What also matched is the place of birth in Missouri and his parents, George and Martha, were both born in Kentucky.  More research needed to confirm.
