Re: Lt Chester F. Yokum (or Yokom)?- 10 Feb 1919
Paul,
If his surname was Yokum, then his gravestone is right after all. There's a picture on findagrave.com. Perhaps the name Yokom on many other previous places was written as it sounded with regard to this lieutenant...? Thanks for the info. Regards, Leendert
