Even though Social Security was available,Blacks were not required to sign up until 1956, I heard. Doss, my ggfa was Chick's brother.
On Chick's death certificate, his sister Earer or Era Bosleysigned it and said his mother's name was Nancy Barr and dad was Sid Wright.I am still looking up the Barr's.
In 1880 I did notice there was a Sid with another wife. It may be the father.
On Doss's (De)death certificate, he died in the County Hospital and no one claimed the body which I don't understand because he had property, was a minister and owned many horses and was a railroad porter. Maybe it was due to him having been married a couple of times. The death certificate was signed by a hospital worker.
I tried to get probate papers or deeds which I am still trying to do. Sorry I didn't mention race, Chick was not a common name.
