Learning more about James K. Harvey

The Lund Family book is complete...thus the quiet blog. I've focused all my energy on getting that done, and then took a few weeks off. Well now I'm back and decided that the next book will continue where the first left off. Since The Lund Family focused on the Lund's immigration to America and concluded with Mathias and Pauline, the next will continue with the Victor-Edith and Eugene-Alene generations.

Alene Anderson, Troy's paternal grandmother, was married three times.
All I know about her first husband is -
Name: James Kenny Harvey
Married: 1 June 1939 to Alene Anderson
This comes from Alene's own "Book of Rememberance"

According to Brent, Alene's son, she divorced James a few years before she married his father Eugene in 1946. So, my search begins for James Harvey. Unfortunately, since he was born after 1911 his death certificate is not available online. I did a general search on FamilySearch.org just to see what was out there. I found one hit that looks promising:

I believe this to be the correct James Harvey and this gives me a bit more information about him including his birth and death dates and next of kin. I'm not sure if Marietta Harvey is his wife or mother. I also need to find a marriage record for James and Alene.
