Research notes for Kenneth

UPDATE - I've located his obit. This allowed me to verify what I guessed. The only thing that is odd, is the interment date of 26 JUL 2007. It seems like JUN 2002 would make more sense.

Kenneth may be Kenneth Gustav Peterson (18 Dec 1914 - 7 Jun 2002). This is my best guess without more info.

Here's what I DO know...
Kenneth G Peterson IS buried in St. James in Kenosha.
He was cremated.
He was interred on 26 JUL 2007.
He is buried in the plot next to Dororthy (Schlax) Peterson and that plot was purchased by Peter Schlax in 1914. Peter is Dorothy's father.
No information on DOD OR funeral home is listed with St. James Cemetery.
