Person in this family
Everett Virgil Mead
29 September 1909 – 18 June 1977
Everett Virgil Mead was born at Payne, Fremont County, Iowa on 29 September 1909 and died at Salt Lake City on 18 June 1977, aged 67. He was buried back in the county he was born in, at Mount Olive Cemetery, Hamburg. He married Lydia Matilda Barnes, called Tillie. His memorial styles him LTC and flags him a veteran, so the rank of lieutenant colonel this archive carried on the family's word alone now has a second source — though still a compiled one. He is a long way out. The Meads reach this archive only by marriage: his son Michael married Jacqueline McEntee, who is Andrew Leahey's first cousin once removed. That makes Everett the father-in-law of a first cousin once removed — a connection no single word covers, which is exactly what the relationship tool says of him.

Historical context

What we still don't know
- [HIS PARENTS ARE NAMED, AND NO PERSON HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THEM] The memorial gives Frank Mead (1877–1952) and Anna Mead (1880–1936), where this archive had no parents at all. They are recorded here rather than created as people because of where this branch sits: the Meads join the family only through the marriage of Everett's son to a first cousin once removed, so building generations upward here extends the family of a cousin's spouse rather than anyone's ancestry. If that branch is ever wanted, this is the doorway and the names are ready.
- [THE RANK IS STILL COMPILED] Two sources now say lieutenant colonel — the family tree and a Find a Grave memorial — and neither is a service record. A man who died in 1977 having reached that rank would have a substantial paper trail: the VA gravesite locator, a headstone application, unit records. None has been fetched. He is the only person in this archive carrying a field-grade commission, so it is worth doing properly if anyone wants him.
