  • Notes 
    • From posting on find A Grave:

      George Alonzo Shields was the oldest son of Henry Harrison Shields and Mary Sutton Shields. Born in Plumville, Indiana County, PA. Siblings include Harry Alta, Frankie, Elmer A., Edward Preston, Frank Vernon, Dessie Edna, Lisle Hamilton.

      According to an obituary in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, George worked for the Southern Railroad for 25 years. He married Crecie Woodman Wetzel in 1898. They had two children Helen born in VA and Harry born in Tennessee.

      George died while living in Richmond. He was buried at Riverview Cemetery on Jan 16 1919. On Oct 28 of that same year he was re-interred in a larger family plot. After a lengthy search I found he was buried with Crecie and his son. His gravestone is pictured here.
