Cuzzins, Did some searching this morning, and found a little more info. The obituary that Bob sent mentions Frances R. Loveless (see below). From the obit, we know that the parents of Thomas and his sister Frances were William Arthur and Frances B. Riddle. I found their household in the 1930 census of Raleigh, Wake Co., NC. All the siblings listed in the obituary are included with the parents William A. and Fannie Riddle. Frances is the youngest child at age 1 yr 11 mo. The enumeration date was April 9, 1930, so it can be assumed that Frances was born c. May 1928. So I searched for Frances Riddle based on the above information, and came up mostly empty except for a poignant death certificate for "Baby Girl Loveless" in Wake Co., NC. This unnamed girl was b. 11/23/1947 to George Eugene Loveless and Frances Riddle. George was born in Wilmington, DE, and Frances was born in Raleigh, NC, and they lived at 917 Wilmington Terrace, Raleigh. This baby girl died on 11/23/1947 at 3:40 am, I'm assuming at or following birth. The cause of death was atelactasis (collapsed lungs), onset at birth. Contributing factor to the death was "monstrosity of infant w/ malformation of entire body", onset "from conception". The baby was buried the following day in Oakwood Cemetery, Raleigh, with Yelverton Funeral Home handling the burial. I tried searching for a George Eugene Loveless or a George Loveless b. in Delaware, but was unsuccessful in finding an further information, except for a listing in our list archives showing a listing from an index to the Maryland National Guard service records: "LOVELESS GEORGE EUGENE. Bates No.: 61994. Box No.: 276. MSA S1499-43958 Location: 0/7/1/46" The timeline fits, as does the geography, but not sure this is the same man. Anybody got anything else on George Eugene Loveless of Delaware? Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg At 05:39 PM 2/1/2011, you wrote: >Published in The News & Observer on February 1, 2011 > >Thomas P.

Hi Greg: I did some digging yesterday and came up with George as well - but from a different angel. Frances Riddle Loveless, born May 1978, died in Sierra Vista Arizona in 2007. SSN was issued from North Carolina. The only other Loveless in Sierra Vista is George Loveless also from North Carolina. This George, b abt 1921 based on census records, is the son of David Hurley Lovelace, from Jonesville, Yadkin, North Carolina. Could be. Can anyone confirm?
