2 Source, Alvin's death record.
Date of birth is shown as Nov 17th 1929 ? * obviously wrong
Date of death is shown as Nov 10th, 1929
Age: 60 yrs, 3 mos, 9 days
Name of informant: Elmer Dennis, son
* Father: James E. Dennis ?
* Mother: Thersa Liza Loop ?
* The names may be recorded backwards on the handwritten record, but no ting that with Alvin born in 1869, his mother Theresa wasn't married to J ames E. Loop until 1875.
* If you could guess the father was James E. (Loop), mother Thersa Liza ( Dennis), the following Declaration throws doubt into James being the bi rth father - engaged to man but he was killed accidentally before the b irth.
But makes sense that James Loop would be recorded as he would be the ma n Alvin likely knew as his father.
Alvin Dennis is the son of Theresa Elizabeth Dennis from a previous relationship. This is documented in the following Delaration:
