The Texas Death Index and SSDI instead has his date of death listed as March 2, 1997. His last residence, per the SSDI, was in Grapeland. His FindAGrave memorial, created by Mel and maintained by Kay Parker McCary, shows that he was a son of Ira Luther AMACKER (FAG# 96520393) and Esther Lea KIRKLAND (FAG#96520510).
