    Military Service:
    His obituary says he served in World War II, his headstone says Korea. Francis would have been about 14 years old when World II ended in 1945. Korea began in 1950 and ended in 1953. Depending upon when he served, Francis would have been 19-22 years old which seems more realistic.
