Narrative

[Obituary for Paul Meredith Vergon, posted online to the chronicle-tribune.com website.]

Paul M. Vergon Paul Meredith Vergon, 86, a resident of northern California, died at 12:15 p.m. Monday (Sept. 17, 2001) at the home of his son in Spanaway, Wash.. Mr. Vergon was a construction contractor and worked in residential construction. He was born April 16, 1915, in Huntington to Harold H. Vergon and Gertrude A. Forst Vergon. Survivors include a son, Terry R. Vergon, Spanaway, Wash.; a daughter, Lynne L. Davidson, Henderson, Nev.; a sister, Martha Jean Pflieger, Huntington; and three grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a brother, Dwight A. Vergon, and a sister, Vera A. Vergon. No calling was held and there was a private family service. Mr. Vergon was cremated. Arrangements were by the Oakwood Hill Funeral Home, Spanaway, Wash.

Narrative

Paul's marital history is uncertain, due to the lack of found records thus far. In the 1940 US Census, his household includes a twenty-five-year-old California-born wife named Carolyn Vergon. I have not yet found a marriage record for the two of them yet, nor have I found further information on Carolyn's maiden name.

There is also a California Divorce Index record for a Paul M. Vergon, dated 5 Jul 1979, with the spouse named Muriel L. I have not found any further information on this pair, including confirmation that this record applies to the Paul M. Vergon in our family tree.

Paul's obituary mentions a surviving son and daughter, but no mention is made of a wife either preceding him in death or surviving him, so I have not yet established who the mother of his children may have been.
