• Notes

  From his great-grand-daughter, TerriAnn Wakeman Graduated Clark High School 1927. He was engaged to his high school sweetheart Esther Bonfoey. Before the marriage he died along with his instructor while taking flying lessons. They were flying in a Curtis Jenny when it developed engine trouble right after takeoff and the plane crashed into a giant oak tree. He died before his daughter was born. His daughter was named Donna in honor of him. Donald's parents would have nothing to do with their grandchild because she was conceived out of wedlock and he died before the planned wedding. Donna was not told who here true father was until she became an adult.
