Jacksonville, Florida He ran for US Senate, but was defeated.

Here's the info. on George Gerrish Quarterman you wanted:
1) Died 11/26/99 in Fort Worth, TX prostrate cancer
2) Cremated and he ashes were spread over the Pacific Ocean by the Neptune
Society of Santa Barbara
3) A marker will be placed in Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville, Florida
where his mother is buried Mary Ada Gerrish Quarterman
4) He enjoyed life to the fullest. Loved classical music and the arts. He was
always
joking around. A week before he died, the nurse ask him where he was and he
said on the roof. She was worried, but I had to explain he was just being
humorous.

I am also still looking for an information regarding George's father, my
grandfather.
Joseph F. Quarterman. Wiley Jarrell found that possibly he moved to New
Jersey after he divorced my grandmother.
He was born 1882 and died (?) 1941, father Joseph Melanchton Quarterman b.
1828 Georgia d. 1858 Florida
Does anyone have any information on him.

Happy New Year to everyone!
