    Do you know where his parents were born? And his death date?

    His mother's name?

    There are 9 John Porters of about the right age in the 1920 census in Georgia, but none with a father name Edmond.

    Source(s): ancestry.com
  • A copy of his death certificate can be found at:

    http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&d...

    His father was Edmond Carl (or Carl Edmond) Porter.

    He's in the 1920 census, living with his father and, what appears to be, a step-mother.

    His mother was alive in 1918, when his father registered for the draft: http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&d...

    I'll check a little further.
