Surnames: Pool or Poole Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CCC.2ACE/2365 Message Board Post: In the 1920 Census George Pool was 48 and residing with his son and daughter in Rainier, Thurston, Washington. In a Yelm City Directory I have found him as, finally a physician with a Mable as pharmacist in 1930. My step father, Louis Pool always contended that he had been adopted by George, in St Louis, MO, in or about 1912. There was also an Edna on the Census as paret of the family. Louis was born in 1904 and Edna was 4 years younger. There exists a George Pool as having passed away in 1939 on the lists of deaths in WA. I believe my step dad said that his father had perished in Seattle, but am not positive. Have anyone come across him in their research. Or Edna, who I believe died in 1934.
