Dec 10 1879 - Sep 26 1930 RE: Father of Bessie Ouzts.... I checked several in the 1900 and only found one, a James T. Ouzts with a daughter Bessie. And the wife was Lula, and the date of birth given for daughter Bessie A. was 5/1884 which is close for census records, even in the 1900 census. I have that Bessie A. Ouzts Ethridge is the daughter of James Talbert Ouzts and Lula McManus from the work of HC Ouzts. I welcome any comments or proofs otherwise. Death cert. seems to be wrong, but whey did her husband not know his name. They were married 5 years before her father died??? ------------------------------------------------------- This person is listed as A. A. Ethridge in the Death Index. However, the first letter could be an O. Seems to be the husband of Bessie Ouzts Ethridge - Dates work with cem. records. He evidently married a 2nd time. 1930 - Death Cert. #17362, Greenwood Co, SC (O/A) A. Ethridge [Oscar Alonzo Etheridge] Male, white Farmer md Harriett McLees b.

Where does the Bose come in from the J. I.? Wonder if it comes from a connection to the Dubose family? or the Boseman family? Any help on J. I. and Mary Emma and the derivation of the name Bose is most welcome. ----------------------------------------------- Then I found this other Ethridge DC which seems to name the same parents. 1922 - Death Cert. #12228, Greenwood, SC A.
