probably near
White Oak Bayou in Houston, 1923.
In 1923 it became
evident to
George Sr. and Clara that
they needed to leave Collegeport
and return to Chicago to try
to make a living.
About the time
they reached
Nacogdoches, Clara became ill;
she and George Sr. determined
there would be better
care for her illness in Houston.
They set up a
tent in Herman Park.
George Sr. sent George Jr.
out to find a hammer. It was time
to begin making furniture.
George Sr. opened
a furniture
store in Houston.
Helen Hubert
related to other
family members that George Sr.
made furniture for the fine ladies in Houston. |
