I am searching for any info on my great-grandmother, A. L. King. I don't know her first name. She and her three children were living in Jacksonville during the 1900 Census. Family lore says she was displaced by the 1901 fire and had to live with her family in a tent in a city park pending the reconstruction of much of downtown Jacksonville. While living in the tent she took sick (possibly TB) and died between 1901 and 1903. I have tried to obtain a copy of her death certificate from FL Vital Records but without any success. She was African-American and born in Georgia around 1870. Her three children were named Annie, Percy and George. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Barbara, I found the following on film from Florida Times Union, Jacksonville, FL, Dec 27, 1916. In the death Index, it has the following: Cora Schroman, white, aged 39 years, died December 24. The obituary reads as follows: MRS. CORA SCHRAMM The funeral of the late Mrs. Cora Schramm took place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the chapel of Funeral Director William C. Cooper, Jr. The Rev. Weber-Thompson officiated. The internment was made in Woodlawn cemetery. Note the difference in spelling of last name. I typed it the way it was shown. I'll get more information for you if I can.
