A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Eugene LeRoy Matkin
Apparently named for his two grandfathers, Eugene Ewers and LeRoy Matkin.
Tacoma News Tribune, 29 Sep 1960, p. B19 (obtained from the Tacoma Pierce County Genealogical Society):
EUGENE L. MATKIN
Eugene L. Matkin, 57, of 2226 Tacoma Rd., Puyallup, died yesterday in a Puyallup hospital. Mr. Matkin was a retired administrative assistant at the Tacoma Naval Station and was a Navy veteran of World War I.
Mr. Matkin was born in Missouri and came to the Puyallup-Tacoma area from California in 1937. He is survived by his wife, Helen M.; an aunt, Mrs. Pearl Ray of Portland, and an uncle, Carl Ewers of California.
Services will be announced by the Buckley-King Co.
It seems doubtful that he was a Navy veteran of World War I, since he would have been only about 15 years old at the end of WWI.
