Notes on the Name

Both names of "Dewilton" and "Raymond" may be clues that could lead to family names of an earlier generation. Dewilton's nickname was probably "Bill" as there is a photo labeled "From Bill in Upland California" in the possession of a FRENCH family member. Dewilton lived in Upland, California at the time of his death. Dewilton's aunt, Laura Browning (sister of his mother), married a Jeremiah RAYMOND -- clue or coincidence?

Military Service

Dewilton is a Civil War veteran.
