How it is shown: Complete clipped article as supplied; no retouch.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: the complete item, with nothing below the clipped text. It gives his age as 69, where a birth on 9 Dec 1893 and a death on 14 Sept 1962 make 68; it calls him 'a native of San Antonio', where the census record has the family at Houston in 1900; and it places the Eniwetok tests in 1950, where other accounts give 1952. None of these is changed here. It names no wife, son or burial place. Whether this is our person: Confirmed: the name, rank and Eniwetok service match the Army Register record for Percy W. Clarkson.
