You can see tha indifferent records Wilton's name is spelled sometimes with a Y and sometimes with an I. On his sister's death certificate, he signed as information spelilng the name Wilton. But on his own death record the name is spelled Wylton. You would think the name would be spelled there as the family spelled it.
What appears to be a death record for this Wylton McSwain is found in the Texas Death Index, recording his death in Dallas in 1966. I have not found other corroborating evidence to explain the interim years. Note that his marital status is Single, not Widowed. I do not have information on the he death date or place for our Wylton's wife Eunice. There was some indication they moved to California. Wylton's son Bernie died in Huntington Park, California.

Wylton McSwain
Death 18 Mar 1966 Dallas County
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Single
Since recording this death information for Wylton, I found that Eunice did not die until December 1966. So perhaps they were divorced at some point?
