Looking for a George Church that was married to a Coralee Thomas. Info received from a relative indicates that George was murdered sometime in the early 40's, in West Virginia. Coralee then moved back to Ohio. I did find a death record for a George Church that died on 6/2/1939, in Roane County it shows his parents as Richard and Marcella (Roach)It further states that George was 43y 3m 21d old, At the time of his death, which would put his birth date around 1895. Anyone that might have info regarding these people I would appreciate hearing from. Thanks John
