I am trying to find information on the burial place of Leona Davis Goodson.? She was the first wife of Homer Goodson, and lived in the Splunge area of Monroe County on the 1910 census with her husband and baby daughter Ethel.? Shortly after the census, Lonie died, leaving Homer with two young daughters, Ethel and a newborn named Mary.? Homer married again to Vergie Holley and lived in West Point, Clay County until his death in 1946.? He and Vergie had three sons.? Homer and Vergie and two of the sons are buried at Cedar Grove near Hamilton.? Homer's mother died about the same time as his wife, and she is buried at Lann Cemetary.? Can anyone help me with the burial place of Leona? Thanks, Susan Hughes

Susan, I find Annie Goodson (died 1911) buried at Lann. I'm assumming she was Homer's mother. Another......Allison Goodson (1897-1908) buried at Pleasant Grove.......east of Wolf Road near Bartahatchie. No other entries for Goodson.......listing compiled ~1938-39.

Thanks.? Family tradition says that Leona was Native American.? Could this have anything to do with the fact that I cannot locate a burial site?? I know nothing more about her, other than these facts.? The second daughter, Mary Agnes, was raised by Jasper Ellis and his wife Lucy. They are listed in Lowndes County in 1920.? I don't know why they had her, and not her father.? On the 1910 Federal Census, Tom and Lucy Davis were living in the same household as Homer and Lonie (Leona) in Splunge.? ?Does this mean anything to anyone?? Brick wall for many years. Again, thanks for your help. -----Original Message----- From: Mary Anna Riggan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, Oct 5, 2009 8:25 pm Subject: Re: [MSMONROE] Burial - Leona Davis Goodson - Monroe County 1912?
