Grandmother Irene owned and ran a rooming house at 724 N 4th in Waco, Texas for a number of years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She died at her home on February 11, 1935 and was buried at 2:00 P.M. on February 12, 1935 in Oakwood Cemetery in Waco, Texas. Connally/Compton Funeral Home was in charge of her service.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was listed as a widow at the time of her death, and buried with the last name of her first husband (Tucker.) J.T. Harrington was listed as her doctor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grandmother Irene came to Texas, from Alabama with her uncle John W. Grace, her sister Eliza Grace, and her brother James Hardy Grace. I think these children must have been raised by John W. Grace and his wife (wife unknown at this time) as their mother, Imogene Florence Price died in 1874, when my grandmother was about a year old.
