Hey Everyone!
So I am going to Houston this weekend to open a new store in the Montrose neighborhood and I decided that while I'm in the neighborhood (okay, City) I am going to visit the Woodlawn Cemetery where Big Tony and his father (Bigger Tony?) Jessie G George are buried. There are over 10,000 interments, so I called the office number and there were kind enough to send me a map of the cemetery and the location of where they are buried.
I had originally found the information of their burying place on Find A Grave; they are buried next to each other. I have been so far unable to locate where Big Tony's mother, Rachael Fannie Rhodes is buried.

Knock Knock! Anybody Still Out There?
Ha! I bet you were all thinking that I have dropped off the planet! It's only been about 6 months since my last post!
There is so much to share! So much to write about! I don't even know where to begin!! That being said, I'm just going to start in the middle.
I have been able to get copies of a few Texas Death Certificates, including one for Clarence George - older brother to Grandpa "Little Tony" George. He was born 19 Dec 1923 and died 26 Dec 1923. The COD is listed as "Purpura hemorrhagica neonatorum". Of course I called Mom right away for her medical knowledge. She didn't know off the top of her head but did some extensive research in just a few hours. It is all speculation on our part, but the mostly likely COD in layman's terms is a vitamin K deficiency. Vitamin K and the reason it is so important to give to newborns was not known until 1943, 20 years later.
