Tedfred Ellis Myers Sr- Granddaddy
I have come across a clipping which said in 1955 Tedfred Ellis Myers Sr and
Kathleen Braswell Myers raised 2 children in Fitzgerald.Kathleen was proprietors of the Empress Hotel in Fitzgerald. At one time they were living in Athens Ga which is in Clarke. They may have moved back to Fitzgerald after 1955 and their house was across the street from the funeral home. I know that we went to "Big Ted's" funeral and I had to stay at the house at 363? Main Street. He was definitely buried in Fitzgerald around 1962 63 by the Paulk Funeral Home.
