Dear David,
I'm sure George Draper Arthur IV (known as Georgie, then Young George to the family and about your age) knows infinitely more than I do about this, but Young George's father, George III, my father's 1st cousin and my godfather, was born about 1914/16; he was at least 8 years older than my father. I guessed from the gravesite that he had a brother who was born before him who died at the age of 1 day. Somehow I thought this infant (buried in Woodlawn as Infant Arthur) was actually named George Draper Arthur for the day he was alive...I'm probably wrong.
I'll send off the letter to Young George tomorrow (I'm ashamed to say I don't even have his phone number).
Your cousin,
Catherine
