Lon Irvin Withrow was married twice. His second wife was Sylvia Marie Wilson, whom he wed 18 August 1942.

Sylvia Marie Wilson had also been previously married. Her first husband was Christopher Cornelius Spradling.

Christopher Spradling and Sylvia Wilson were married 03 July 1915 at the residence of Ed Wilson in Putnam County, West Virginia.

Christopher Spradling and Sylvia Wilson divorced and Sylvia took back her maiden name.

I don't believe that Sylvia and Lon Withrow had any children together, but both had children with their previous spouses.

 According to informaiton received in an e-mail from Rick Miller dated July 18, 2000 he says.

"My Great Grandfather was Lon Withrow he just died on 10/25/1994 he was 102 years old.

His first wifewas Myrtle Crago. She died in a car wreck when she was young."

If you click on the death record above you will see that Myrtle died from a severed spinal cord.

But if you read Myrtle's obituary it says that she died at home.

My question is why was she not in a hospital?
