B E McElroy (my 1C3R)

Bertram E(Eanes according to his Military file) McElroy was the son of Andrew J McElroy and Emma Steakley.  He was at one time the postmaster of McElroy TN.  That PO was discontinued around the time of WWI and mail from then on went thru the Quebeck P.O.  He is among those in a 20 Sep 1917 article in The Tennessean whose exemption claims were denied. Bertram went on to serve in the US Army's 82 Division(Ser # 1895080) Departing 25 Apr 1918 on the ship Caronia from New York NY and listing his sister Sarah McElroy as his next of kin.  He worked as a traveling grocery salesman and as far as I know never married.  He died May 23, 1926 from a skull fracture which according to his death certificate he sustained when he was knocked down by an auto truck on May 20th.

Postcard to Pearl---Panama City, Florida Nov. 28, 1952

I believe this postcard is from Pearl's brother, William "Bill" Bryan Jakes, whose wife was Georgia B. Jakes.  The Lula mentioned in the note is the sister of Pearl and Will.

This is the hospital G. B. was in

Dear Pearl, How are you all, fine we hope.  Georgia is getting along fine.  Has to go back to the Dr. today.  I really think these treatments will do her some good.  Hope so any way.  You call Lula.  I try to write you both one at a time Love Bill and All

Address to Mrs. Pearl Cook 1209 Calvin (Ave), Nashville, Tenn.

Who are you and how do you know my Grandmother? --Part 4

The holidays have been very busy and I wanted to write more about Flora but haven't had much time to research Flora's family.  In previous posts covering this mystery I had mentioned that my Grandmother Pearl had traveled to the Navy Hospital(In Bethesda, MD according to the telegram) near Washington D.C when notified that her son, Morris was there.  I've scanned and read over this post card many times over the years but I just now made the connection with the scene that is on the front.  It is a picture of the fountain in Cincinnati Ohio.  Odd that it wouldn't be something from Washington DC.  Did she stop over in Ohio and buy some postcards there planning to use them to write home.  Was that how she met Flora...on the bus or train?   I have a photo of what remains of the telegram she received from the Navy. Which I'm posting here also. I guess the next step is to find any descendants of Flora and see if they have anything from those years which might over clues.  My parents hadn't married yet so my mother wasn't around while this was going on. She did seem to think that one of Granny's nieces went with her...most likely Sue Bell Thompson--Papaw Cooke's niece(daughter of Rebecca L. Cook and Charlie Thompson).

Love, Mother(written on front)

Below is a photo enhanced picture of what is left of the Telegram my grandmother received.  I do not have a copy or know where the letter is that is mentioned in the Telegram.
