Hello, I have two family members, Jeff and William King who were robbed and murdered on July 6, 1910 in Jefferson County. The newspaper said the family couldn't afford to bury them and the County took care of it. Their bodies were at Green Undertaking Company in Birmingham. Does anyone know what cemetery the County buried people at in 1910 and whether the graves are numbered? Or does anyone have them in a Cemetery Book? Thank you ......Margie

Good Day to you all; I'm the new kid on the block and my family is from B'ham. I have some "family stories" that I would like clarification on. These stories come from my Father (who is now 90) and I'm sure you are all aware of the kind of minds that elderly people have. I never knew my Grand-daddy, but through my Father's stories, I've grown to "know" him. My Grandmother died when I was 3 in 1956 and I can just barely remember her. Anyway . . . here is my first story . . . let's see if there is anyone out there that can fill in the events: I am the "proud" owner of a 32 single-action double-shot (I think that is the way it is described) Pearl handled revolver. My Granddaddy won it in a 28 cent Raffle. The pistol was from a matched set that belonged to a Gambler during the 1920's ??? The Gambler was shot and killed during a Poker game in a bar downtown. Inside his coat under each arm were the Pearl handled revolvers. I don't know anything more, other than my Granddaddy having won it through a raffle. Who has the second revolver ??? Could it be in a Museum ??? Family story says that the Gambler was killed with his own gun . . . that the lights went out and when they came on, the Gambler was lying in a pool of blood. Who was the Gambler ??? Which one of his guns killed him ??? I thrive on my Father's stories, but he is aging and his memory, even "past" memories is beginning to wane. Thank you in advance for any help given. Lynn WORRELL Hudson
