Vivian Frances Yount's descendants

In my continuing quest to learn more about Bertha Lucretia Redwine, 2nd wife of William Henry Carothers, I am researching the descendents of her siblings, as they are likely to have some pictures of her, if not some knowledge of her.

In previous posts, I've mentioned Lucretia's sister EllaTewksbury who had a daughter named Vivian Frances Yount. Vivian married John Hugh Nelson, and later died and was buried in Prescott. Looking in the Arizona online birth certificates, I found one child of John and Vivian. His name is John David Nelson.

The SSDI list the following info:

Name: John Nelson
Last Residence: 86301 Prescott, Yavapai, Arizona, United States of America
Born: 21 Nov 1927
Died: Mar 1973
State (Year) SSN issued: Arizona (Before 1951 )

This would appear to be John David Nelson, as the birth date matches and the locations match.

From the same source, there is also a birth certificate for John Hugh Nelson. This lists John Hugh as being born on Sep 8, 1896, and lists his parents as John Nelson, 32, born in Stockholm, Sweden, and Esther Rebecca Harrington, 22, born in Taylorville, Illinois.

The Mesa Arizona Regional Family History Center lists the following obituary:

NELSON, JOHN HUGH
Age: 64
Arizona Republic, Section 35
Date: 27-Jun-1960

The same source lists an obituary for Vivian:

NELSON, VIVIAN F.
Age: 81
Arizona Republic, Section D 2
Date: 23-Nov-1985
