Julia Ann CARTER (b. 16 Jan 1886, TN; d. 28 June 1955, Rockwood, RoanCtyTN)    Parents: Andrew Jackson CARTER "Jack" / Katherine BROWN "Kate"; 2nd husband: Mr. OSBORNE Children to Julia:   1.

DURHAM (b. 24 Mar 1930, Rockwood, RoanCtyTN; d. 11 Apr 2005; Find-A-Grave 102638895, TN) m. George Washington FROST (b. 13 Dec 1892, Kingston, RoanCtyTN; d. 8 Apr 1969; Find-A-Grave 127077697, TN) on 22 Oct 1955, RoanCtyTN    Parents: Samuel H. FROST "Sam" / Eliza RANDOLPH; 1st wife: Myrtle VANN (m. 1913, TN); 2nd wife: Georgia Ann DISNEY   Notes: C. Preston Durham is not shown living with Julia on the 1920 Rockwood, RoanCtyTN census. Julie is living with her mother and son, Leonard.  However, by 1930, Preston is back with the family and they have 5 children, including Leonard.  Another interesting find is the first child Katie, who died at age 7. Her death certificate lists her father as "C. P. Durham". So, it appears Preston and Julia were together in both 1910 and 1930, but not in 1920. I love a mystery. Was he away at war...a POW perhaps?  Did the couple separate and then reunite? What he erroneously left off the 1920 census?   Carl Durham served his country in World War II as a SKG1 (Storekeeper Petty Office 1st Class) in the US Navy. Katie Durham died on Christmas Day, age 7, from "acute indigestion".  The Tenn. death certificate specifies buries at "Rockwood Tenn". Ruth H. Durham married George W. Frost when she was age 25. He was age 63 at the time.
