On the back of his picture that I just recently acquired, it states that he was born at Towelson Tones, MD. The name of the place of birth is so hard to read that I am not sure that this is the correct spelling. I have searched everywhere in Maryland, but unable to locate a town that is spelled this way. Can anyone please help me?
Sounds like Towson Town, now just called Towson, the county seat for Baltimore County. It is pronounced like towel, not like toe.
