I have tenatively added them as such after finding Dixie's death cert.and now the one above for R. H, Jr. Trotter, Dixie J. Nov 18 1935 Nov 23 1935 Trotter, R. H., Jr. Feb 28 1926 Mar 11 1926 Trotter, Mary Annie Jun 30 1922 Aug 26 1922 Trotter, Elmina Jul 13 1920 Jul 13 1920 ------------------------------------- 1922 - Death Cert. #6067, Saluda Co, SC Mollie Trotter Female, White, Married b. Dec. 4, 1870, SC father: Zed Crouch, SC mother: Malissa Crouch, SC d. April 1, 1922, Saluda #4, Saluda Co, SC cause: angina pectoris lasting about 4 hrs. info. Zed Crouch, Saluda, SC buried: Red Bank Cem. [Saluda, Saluda Co, SC] UT: R. L. Ramey, Saluda, SC HC Ouzts Trotter file attaches her as the wife of George Phillip Trotter (b. 8/11/1863 Edgefield SC, d. 10/17/1929 Saluda SC) They are buried together in the Red Bank Baptist Church Cem. ------------------------------------- 1917 - Death Cert. # 22066, SC Dr. J. Lee Trotter White, Male, married, medical Dr. b. about 1869, about 48 years old, Saluda Co, SC* father: Jacob Trotter mother: don't know d. Dec. 28, 1917, Edgefield Co, SC cause: Bright's Disease informant: Geo. (Hondy/Hornly/Hardy), Johnston, SC buried: Ward's Cem. UT: Lott-Walker *Saluda Co. not formed from Edgefield Dist until 1895. Althought the death cert. seemed to read J. Lee Trotter, both HC Ouzts and Betty Trotter in their research call him George Lee Trotter. He is buried at Spann Methodist Church in Ward, SC as George: I assume that the person buried beside him is his wife. Trotter, Alma HUNTER Jun 12 1866 - Oct 10 1943 Trotter, George Lee Oct 20 1861 - Dec 28 1917 I have as his mother, Susannah Hardy, Sardis Baptist Church, Saluda Co, SC. It certainly seems a puzzle to me that his mother was not known if the very messy and unreadable name of the informant was in fact a Hardy?? Note in the next death cert. of another son, she is named a Hardy, altho first name seems to be a nickname and was hard to decifer. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1916 - Death Cert. #33300, Saluda Co, SC Frank W.
