Did you see he was a Warrant Officer? I am so happy he turned his life around and there weren't any other criminal records found for him.

Onefre died 3 Feb 1989 in Las Vegas, NM

The 1940 census said he was married but did not list his spouse or children. He helped his father on the farm.


I love happy endings!
