Hi, I didn't put a pickup address on the form because as of the last communication I received form the Brooks County Genealogical Society, the books were not in yet. When they do come in they will be available for pickup at: Brooks County Library 404 Tallokas Road Quitman, GA 31643-1523 (229) 263-4412 If you would call them and establish a date when the books will be available for pickup I will post it to the web site. The original date for pickup was January 21st. Obviously there has been a delay in getting the books in.

Cindy, I don't know that a funeral home as such existed in the area 1916-1920. In most cases the deceased was "laid out" at home. The undertaker if any prepared the deceased at the same place. Pavo is on the border of Brooks and Thomas Counties and was and still is a very small community. I am copying the Brooks and Thomas mailing lists and an aunt and a first cousin with a good deal more detailed knowledge of such things. I welcome any additional input.
