Now that the big task is over I found time to do some calling about Homer.
Ellis Homer Nixon age 51, born at Haralson, GA 10-4-1893, died of accute
bronchial pneumonia caused by carcinoma (sounds like lung cancer) on 10-25
44 and was buried at 4:00 p.m. at Roselawn Memorial Park on Asher Avenue in
Little Rock on 10-27-44 in the Ravenna Section, Lot 180, center grave.
Mary Hannah was listed as his survivor but she is not buried there.
She is a lot owner but not buried there.
Ellis Homer was a manager for the B.S. Avery Company in Little Rock.
S.S. Bryant of Pulaski Heights Presbyterian church did the funeral.
I guess Mary Hannah is who we have been calling Mary Helen. At least that is how the cemetery has her listed.
Ruebel Funeral Home: (501) 666-0123. Ruebel Funeral Home has a site: http://www.ruebelfuneral.com - e-mail: rfh@@ruebelfuneralhome.com I haven't had time to check it out.
