This link will take you to his clemency documents.


There is a beautifully hand written letter by him among these documents, but I can not figure out how to download or copy them.

His parents were Edward Rupart Porter Sr. (1872-1955) and Ada B Meyeres (1877-1974)

I found an record of marriage but not 100% sure it's his. His maybe wife was Myrtle Williams 1888-1978

There is no FAG for him, he died Jan 1966 in Wichita, KS or Florida there are 2 identical records for each state...I chose to add Kansas since he was born there.
