Pilot.familysearch.org has a death certificate. William Bailey DUNHAM (18 Sep. 1883, Mississippi - 5 Dec. 1967, All Saints Hospital, Ft. Forth, Tarrant, TX) of carcinoma & anemia, bu. Rose Hill Cem. by Harveson & Cole Funeral Directors; son of Nancy Elizabeth BRAGG & James Westland {Wesley?} DUNHAM; informant, Mrs. W. B. DUNHAM. SSDI has William as above and also Stella (13 Feb. 1894 - Sep. 1980). Stella's death certificate is supposedly on pilot site, but I cannot get the image to load. All I see is Stella Rebecca DUNHAM, d. Tarrant Co., TX, 9 Sep. 1980. Was Stella a second wife? USGenWeb > TX > Tarrant County Marriages: William B. DUNHAM m. 7 Aug. 1902, Miss Willie May DUCKETT.
