Subject
Wolverton, Irving Keller, Jr. (1931-1976)
Description
Irving K. Wolverton, Jr. as a young boy wearing shorts and standing by a stuffed toy.
Irving was the son of Irving Keller Wolverton (1912-1987) and his first wife, Maxine Althea Coffman (1914-1969). His parents’ marriage lasted about four years.
After they divorced, his mother married Carl Walter Laudermilk (1911-1985) in Woodstock in 1936. He was a 24-year old weaver born in Botetourt County and living in Edinburg. Soon after, the new family moved to Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, where Irving grew up.
Irving K. Wolverton, Jr. appears in several U.S. Marine muster rolls between 1950 and 1958, first as a Corporal, then as a Sergeant. He was stationed at many places including Parris Island, S.C., Quantico, Virginia, Henderson Hall in Arlington, Virginia, Camp Pendleton, California, and later, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
His brief death notice published in the Plain Dealer (Cleveland) on 9 December 1976 mentioned he had four children: Robert, William, Nancy and Cynthia.
He married in his mid-forties (probably for the second time) to Dolores Jean (Covey) Locke (1934-1988). She had divorced her first husband the year before, in 1975.
Unfortunately, he and Delores were married less than a year when Irving died unexpectedly in Ohio.
