John Samuel Veale was born 26 January 1872 in Nebraska and died 30 December 1943 in Van Buren, Crawford, AR. Find A Grave Memorial# 75805393. On 04 June 1904 in Arkansas County, AR, he married Georgia Deborah Place. She was born 23 Mar 1875 in Maryland, to George Place and Mary Ann Matilda Brandenburg. and died 28 Dec 1943 at Van Buren, Crawford, AR. Find A Grave Memorial# 75805309. John & Georgia are buried in Gillett Cemetery, Gillett, Arkansas, AR. The headstone inscription reads: 'They Have Done What They Could". John and Georgia adopted a daughter: Upon the death of his parents, John became head of the family. This is reflected in the 1900 US Census for La Grue precinct, Arkansas County, Arkansas. He is listed as single, head of household for that census. Appearing in the same household are his siblings: Emma (Emily), Minnie, Wallie (William), and Elsie. A nephew, Ira Perry, also is listed in the household. The 1910 US Census has John living in North Prairie precinct, Arkansas County, Arkansas, with his wife, Georgia, a sister, Mary Oceala Veale, and a nephew, J. Place. I have been unable to locate this family in the 1920 US Census. The 1930 US Census has John and Georgia living in Prairie precinct, Arkansas County, Arkansas. In this Census - Buford, Nellie, and Georgia Stocks appear next on the census sheet, suggesting that perhaps they were neighbors. |
