George W. McBride

Notes:

His Texas Death Certificate shows him as a retired carpenter, and that he was a son of Walter McBRIDE, born Louisiana, and Mary GREENLEE, born Arkansas.

His FindAGrave Memorial page, created by Michael and Jennifer McBride, contains the following information:

There has been disagreement in the family as to what his middle name was. His social security card says it was Washington, but some members are fairly certain it was actually Wesley.

His WWI Draft Registration record says it was Walker. This is what he swore to and how he signed it so this is what I will go with. It is likely that there was not a birth certificate when he born and he had to obtain a delayed birth certificate when he needed it for Social Security. A delayed birth certificate would have required finding someone who had first hand knowledge of his birth. It is possible he changed his middle name to Washington at that time due to what someone else said for the delayed birth certificate.

FindAGrave also links him to three wives, Pearl PRICE (1890-1918), Ruth MOSS [the widow] Rawson (1892-1924), and Alma (1908-1959). There are also seven children linked to him on that website.

George married Ruth Madeline Moss on 17 Nov 1921. Ruth was born about 1893 in Texas; died on 10 Mar 1924. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
