My Great Grandfather- Chester Caudill

 My great grandfather, Chester Caudill, was born March 18, 1894 in Falcon, Magoffin County, Kentucky. His parents were Benjamin Lewis "Little Lewis" Caudill and Susan Emaline Lemaster.  He died Feb. 16, 1975 in Wakefield, Ohio.

As you can see by his obituary his name isn't correct, but several of the other things are correct.
