One child, Obie, is my grandmother. I am named after her. She is found living with John and Dora BOOTH in the 1910 Montezuma, Macon Co., GA census. Where is her dad? Were her parents separated or divorced? Where is the other child? Is it a boy or girl child? Is the child alive but living with another family? or the child already died?
