Trying to locate the Death Certificate/ info for Marshall Thomas Clay, AA, born in Lexington, Fayette, KY June 3, 1916. He was son of Vertner and Rada Reed Clay. I found his WWII Military info: Fort Thomas, Newport, KY, enlisted June 9, 1941. GRADE: Private.
I have been unable to locate him in any U.S.Military Cemetery. He died sometime in early 1950's.

Any leads will be greatly appreciated.

He came to Prague, Czechoslovakia in summer 1947, got married, had two daughters and went back to the U.S.A. in 1956. Then he lived probably in Dayton, Ohio and died in 1964. I am husband of his younger daughter and our family would appreciate any information about his life in the U.S.A.
