Spouse[edit]

Article states that Vivian M. Angstadt was his wife. IMDB agrees, but most other results in Google are mirrors of what wikipedia says, or not reliable sources. Find A Grave shows a "Louise C. Smith" as sharing his burial plot: [1] and they say THAT was his wife. Note that his deceased son is buried there too, and it certainly looks like a husband-wife-child arrangement on the plaque. Without either source being super-definitive (although I am inclined to take IMDB over Find A Grave) does anyone have any bright ideas as to who his wife actually was, and if one of these women wasn't his wife, who was she?

A year and a half later, and the question is still unsettled. [2] IMDb can be edited by users, so it's suspect as a reliable source. I can't say how reliable Find a Grave is (it looks like it accepts edits from users, too), but there is a picture of the gravestone that bears the name "Louise C. Smith". All sources seem to agree on the dates. Looks like the article needs a solid source on this question. Willondon (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Willondon,Find a Grave (like IMDB) is considered unreliable for use as sources for Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:09, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
