Aunt Maud Gibb Saterfiel said he was in New Orleans sick in the hospitol when someone said that there was a man in the hospitol named saterfiel. Aunt Lula and Ora checked and it was their dad. He was in a coma. He came out but no one knows where he died. It is said that he died on a train on his way home.
