Gravestone Photos

Every time I find something new, I get frustrated that there isn't more.  I need to be happy with what I do find, but the dead ends are so frustrating for me.

Searching around online I found the Grave Markers for a few people on the George side of the family.

Our Great-Grandfather Big Tony. 

I didn't know that he served in WWI, I do have a copy of his Draft card though.  His occupations was listed as oil field firing station and he claimed exemption due to a dependent father.

Speaking of whom:  His father, another Jessie:
I don't know much about him, he married Rachael Fannie Rhodes, but she died when Big Tony was just a few years old.  His father's name was Riley George. 

And there you have it, not I'm stuck again.  It's like that line, George, and the Younts, just disappear and I can't seem to track them down without going all kinds of crazy.  I can't believe how hard this is at times and other times things come to you like it's a floodgate.
