Second Generation

2. Verne John MACARTHUR was born on 17 Feb 1915 in Redehille, Alberta, Canada.^1,2

The family story of Verne's birth is: He was born during a blizzard. His father, John, went to town to get the doctor, but couldn't get back because of the storm. So Eva delivered him herself. There was an argument about his name with John having the last word because he went to town to register the birth, so it is either Verne John or John Verne.
