The first public record I find for Mildred Rowland is the 1920 censusfor Stone County, Arkansas, when she is almost 3 years old.

The 1920 census was taken in January.  This age of 2 years 11 months does not correlate with her birth date reported by the Social SecurityDeath Index of 27 January 1918.  If she was 1 month short of her 3rd birthday, it seems her birth date was actually January 1917, not 1918.

Thad and Mildred were married on Christmas Day 1939.  Their license was issued on 23 Dec 1939.  Place of marriage presumed to be Arkansas County.

Mildred was in California as a young woman.  I do not have details, but found that her Social Security number had been issued in California"Before 1951."  She was back in Stuttgart, Arkansas in later life.  In the 1960s, I visited Thad and Mildred with my wife-to- Edith McSwain.  I have not found details as of April 208, but I surmise she and Thad were in California during World War II.

The Social Security Death Index provides an exact birth date for Mildred, as well as date and place of residence at death.

Notes

  • George McSwain informs us that Thad Mathew McSwain died while visiting his daughter in Tennessee  (personal email, April 2007).  Information in his funeral remembrance tells us this daughter was Terrye Richter, in Maryville, Tennessee, and Thad died in the Blount Memorial Hospital, in Blount County, Tennessee, near Knoxville (which is in neighbouring Knox County).  George indicates that Thad had been in good health, but apparently fell ill while in Tennessee.

    At the time of his death, Thad was a member of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Stuttgart, Arkansas, where he had long been an active member.  The funeral service was held in this church, under the direction of Turpin Funeral Home, with burial following in the Lone Tree Cemetery.
