  Note that the obituary index entry reports he died in Alaska.  The entry was written as Wayne, AK.  Such entries normally indicate the county and state.  [His FAG memorial has place of death as Wynne (Cross County), Arkansas.
  
  The obituary index transcription may have confuised Wynne, Arkansas (AR) with Wayne, Alaska AK).  This is confirmed when we find another similar index listing with the town spelled correctly, but the state still incorrectly spelled AK instead of AR.)  Everything else in the entry is the same.
