Barr, Graniteville, SC burial: Graniteville, SC UT: Couch & Timmerman, Graniteville [aiken Co], SC Death date on DC is considered PRIMARY, since it was filled out by the attending Dr., but it is possible I transcribed it incorrectly. Dates in Cem. transcription do not agree with the DC??? Parr, Bessie C. SIMS Feb 17 1884 - Oct 31 1945 Sims, Nannie R. Dec 24 1863 - Sep 9 1946 *Sims, T. Bragg Jul 3 1856 - Jan 3 1925 Sims, Walter S.

Sims Male, White, md. Alice Crouch Sims b. August (6), 1863, NC father: William Sims, NC mother: Annie Green, location unknown d. Nov 28, 1937, 256 West St, North Augusta, SC cause: myocarditis; brights disease. informant: Mrs. Alice Sims, North Augusta, SC buried: Graniteville UT: R. E. Elliott & Son, Augusta, GA The name Timmerman is written beween the lines twice. I don't know the significance of that. Possibly an additional Funeral Home that was involved. This person is listed by a Sims researcher as another son of Thompson Sims. The name is found in census records with David Thompson Sims. ...... So who is the William Sims, NC named as father. My mother was a good friend of a Sims family of NA. I just know these folks connect. Can someone help... I need a 1930 census lookup for this William S. Sims. Who are the children listed? -------------------------------------------------- Billie
