But getting to my point- My g-grandmother on my mother's side was named Pearl Atlee Thomas Byars. She died of a cerebral hemoridge when my grandmother was 12 years old on her way home one evening. She was a nurse. She was born, raised, & died in York County, South Carolina. She married a Byars, Lawrence Lester Byars and they had 5 children including my grandmother. When my grandmother died she took all knowledge of my g-grandmother with her. The information I have just shared & a few old photos are al we know of her. If you have any information please let me know. Thankyou. ---btw: she died in either 1957 or 1958.
