LINDA: Thanks for the "tip" about the "informant" who might be the next of kin of SYLVANIA ELDORADO NICHOLSON. She may have had some nieces and nephews living around there because she had three brothers: Theodore "Ted" b 1912 or 1913; Jarvis (Jarius?) b.1917 or 1918; and Ned b.1922 or 1923. They were all younger than she was. Mr. RAY POTTS of Cochran Funeral Home in Blairsville, GA said they handled her funeral in 1984 and he was the administrator of her estate. She rented her home in the edge of the Coosa District in Union County and she had very little possessions. They had to sell her possession to pay for the funeral and they got only about $2,000 total. He said she was buried in Harmony Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, but I could find no marker for her in that cemetery. I must call Mr. POTTS back and find out why there is no marker. Possibly because there was not enough money realized from her estate to pay for one. I did find out from him that she was called "Radie," and that she was never married. Thanks for your interest. I am giving a copy of this e-mail to some people who live in Union County so that they will be aware that we are trying to find her kinfolk because one of them might have her old Bible that has some very important genealogy information in it. If they know any of her kinfolk, we would appreciate hearing from them.
