Cannon, born in Ky, cause of death pancreatis, informant Mrs. Jess Lowery, Ashland, burial in Ashland Cem on 12 April 1931.

The death date is blank, but the certificate was filed on 12 April 1936, and the medical statement says that he was last seen alive by the attending physician (Proctor Sparks) on 10 April 1936 at 6 p.m. He must have died that evening, as if he died on April 11 it would be unlikely that he would have been buried on the 12th.
