    The death certificate of the person who appears to be our Henry Briscoe reports he died 22 Jun 1954 in Parker County.  S H Norton reports he died in 1935, but gives no source documentation, and does not report a place of death.  I have found no other Henry Briscoe living in Parker County.

    A co-researcher Wanda Cox found Henry and Lena's burial information and sent me a transcription.  "In Spring Creek Cemetery there are two Briscoes."
