Olivet Rd, occupation retired textile worker, married, husband of Pauline Hughes, father Green DeHart, mother’s maiden name Nettie, cause of death myocardial infarction, informant Mrs. W. R. DeHart, same address, burial in Carolina Memorial Park, Concord, NC.
Since he was listed in the censuses as 6 in April 1910 and 15 in Jan 1920, he was probably really born in 1904. But he seems to have used the 1905 birthdate as an adult.
