McCool (around 71 years)of Kosciusko, MS.(Attala County) According to the adoption petition Ruth was pick up from "old lady Green” in Jackson, MS and had four other siblings: Eddie 14, Blanch 13, Raymond 9 and May 2 or 3. Does anyone have any information on the Green lady in Jackson, MS who housed children before adoption? (Around 1915) I am trying to find more about Ruth’s parents and her siblings/their families. The children were sent on a train by an Aunt after both parents died in Oklahoma?. Any help about Ruth or G. C. "Doc" McCool or other silblings will be appreciated. Thanks,
