Annie: I don't have any information on Alphonso, but did you know there are quite a few people with the name Vermillion buried at Congressional Cemetery? If you haven't already, you might want to check out their website at www.congressionalcemetery.org for obituaries.

I know for sure that his son, Howard, was a detective in DC. My thought is that there may be pictures. I know the precinct where his son worked - but is there a central place to contact?
