    Notes:

    George Plummer Yancey and Mary Elizabeth Crusselle
    1874-1948

    George Plummer Yancey, son of Simeon Plummer Yancey and Martha Elizabeth
    Thurman, was born January 10, 1874 near the town of Forest Park in
    Clayton County, Georgia. He married Mary Elizabeth Crusselle on October
    7, 1894 at Nellie Dodd Methodist Church. Mary was born November 19, 1874
    in Atlanta, Georgia. She was the daughter of Thomas A. Crusselle and
    Lavinia Jenkins. It is interesting to note that George and Mary were born
    five years before Edison's first successful experiments in lighting, yet
    it would be this new technology that would provide for the family's
    income. George was employed by Georgia Power Company for over forty years.

    In 1896, Mary gave birth to the first of eight children. Esther Yancey
    was born August 20, 1896. Two years later, Albert Ryeland Yancey was born
    on April 27, 1898. As a new century came, so did their third child.
    Walter Simeon Yancey was born December 2, 1900. Victor Yancey, born 1904
    and Marvin Roland Yancey, born 1905, both died young. George Plummer Jr.
    (October 12, 1907), Horace Vance (September 12, 1909), and Mary Ruth
    (August 2, 1914) completed the family. Mary Crusselle was a short, round,
    little lady with a perpetual smile. She loved to laugh; however, she was
    not opposed to an occasional stern speech when the children (or
    grandchildren) played too close to her flower beds.

    George and Mary lived at 1024 Fair Street (now Memorial Drive) where it
    intersects with Stovall Street in Atlanta, Georgia. The house sat high on
    a hill with a rock wall and several steps leading up from the street.
    Joseph A. Crusselle (Mary's brother) lived next door. Albert Ryeland
    Yancey would later live across the street. The house was large and had
    tall ceilings and a kitchen with a wood stove. Mary used to love to have
    all the children and grandchildren over for a big meal. At Christmas, the
    dining room table had to be extended and put at an angle in order to
    maximize seating. The adults would eat first and then the grandchildren
    would finish off what was left. Christmas presents for the grandchildren
    would consist of a shiny apple wrapped in a big, white handkerchief.

    Grandchildren played a big part in their lives during the 1930's and
    1940's. They would often spend time on the porch with their grandchildren
    and George would play "count cars." East bound cars would belong to him
    and West bound cars would belong to the kids. In the house they kept
    several canaries which the grandchildren liked to feed. Dash, the family
    dog, was also a big hit. However, the biggest thrill of all was a ride in
    Grandpa's 1937 Ford. After riding for a while, they would stop at a gas
    station or store. He would announce, "a nickel around" and each child
    would receive five cents with which to buy anything they wanted.

    George and Mary housed a black man named Raymond. Raymond was one of
    twelve children belonging to parents who were totally destitute. He was
    mildly mentally handicapped and uneducated. Because they could not care
    for him, Raymond was given to the Yanceys by his parents. Raymond was not
    a slave, but he was of slave descent. He lived behind the main house, in
    a room attached to the woodshed. He did not receive pay, but in exchange
    for food and shelter, he worked in the yard, helped clean the house,
    chopped wood and did other odd jobs.

    During the years of World War II, George developed rheumatoid arthritis.
    As his condition worsened he almost lost total use of his hands. During
    the last year of his life, his four (living) sons would take turns
    staying with their father every fourth night. George Plummer Yancey died
    August 23, 1948. He is buried at West View Cemetery in southwest Atlanta.

    His obituary reads as follows:

    "Funeral services were held Wednesday, August 25 at 3 O'clock at Martha
    Brown Memorial Methodist Church with the remains placed in state at 2:00.
    Rev. B.W. Hancock officiated. Internment was at West View in the charge
    of Atlanta Lodge No. 59, F.& A.M (Free and Accepted Masons.) The
    pallbearers were: Mr. Albert R. Yancey, Walter S. Yancey, George P.
    Yancey Jr., Horace V. Yancey, E.B. Gooch, and W.A. Wells."

    After her father's death, Ruth (who never married) lived with her mother
    and they later moved into a small house at the corner of Delaware Avenue
    and Confederate Avenue in Atlanta. Mary would live there until her death.
    Mary was bed-ridden for her last few years and required total care. A
    hired attendant cared for her during the day. Ruth worked and cared for
    her mother at night. Mary Elizabeth Crusselle Yancey died July 10, 1970.
    She is buried next to her husband.

    George married Mary Elizabeth Crusselle on 7 Oct 1894 in Nellie Dodd Methodist Church. Mary was born on 19 Nov 1874 in Atlanta, Fulton County, GA; died on 10 Jul 1970 in Atlanta, Fulton County, GA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
