And, sure enough, you did. Here's part of Susie Belle's obit: Obit Source: MI 7/28/1993 Survivors: half-sisters: Mrs. John J. Greeley & Mrs. A. W. Driesback; cousins: Mrs. Byron Stroud, Mrs. Clyde Mitchell, Mrs. Frank C. Miller, Jr., Mrs. Alvie Brigance, & Mrs. Alney Ashby Comments: MI - parents: Charles & Carrie Miller Carson ------------------- I also found an old 1999 Carson query that said: "He had daughters named Margarite, Marjory, Evelyn. Charles or Charley lived in Kentucky, Massachusetts and Akron, Ohio for a short while during WWII." ------------------------------- The same named daughters are listed on the 1920 New Orleans census as is Susie Belle Carson, his daughter by Carrie Miller Carson. --------------------------------- AND, Charles & Carrie Miller Carson moved from McHenry to Texas about 1908 trying to help Carrie's bad health with a climate change. It didn't help and Carrie died in Texas in 1909 (Tx death cert) but her remains were transported back to Ohio Co. and she was buried at Miller Family Cemetery. THEN - 6 year old daughter, Susie Belle, is living in 1910 with her Aunt, Mrs Richard P. Miller, in Owensboro. Couldn't find Charles. THEN - In 1920 Charles Redford is in New Orleans with new wife, new 3 daughters and 16 year Susie Belle. SO - Looks like Charles Redford Carson lived in Kentucky, Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, and Mass. where he died in 1955. MY QUESTION: Is Charles Redford Carson buried in Mass. or Kentucky ?. Maybe the detail in one of those obits will have the answer? Almost forgot - The 1920 census has Charles' second wife's parents as born in Syria.
