I'll compare them with my records and make changes. Also, when I find Confederate veterans gravesites, I look up obituaries in the Charlotte newspapers on microfilm at the Uptown library. Monday I found the fllowing obituary in the Charlotte Observer of August 1, 1922: J.A. HUNSUCKER DIED SUNDAY NIGHT OF CANCER Following a short illness, James Alexander Hunsucker died Sunday about midnight at his home, 509 West Sist street. He had been suffering with cancer. The funeral service was conducted at the home Monday afternoon. Rev.H. G. Hardin, pastor of Tryon Street Methodist church having charge. Burial was at Elmwood cemetery. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Mattie Hunsucker; a daughter, Mrs. W. S. Skipper, of this city; and three sons, Fred, Lawrence and Charlie Hunsucker, also of Charlotte. The deceased was 77 years old and a Confederate veteran. End of article. I only research this information on Confederate veterans, since I'm with a Confederate veteran organization. I notice that he lived approximately across the street from Elmwood cemetery. Felix [email protected] wrote: > Felix, > I may have some of that date answer for you.
