Individual Details
George Junior FURR
(19 Feb 1928 - 12 Jul 1954)
Since he was born 6 years after his purported father, Grover Cleveland Furr, died, it is not clear who his parents were. He is listed variously as George Junior Furr and George Furr, Jr., which makes me suspect he may have been the son of George Cletus Furr, son of Grover Cleveland Furr, who would have been 16 at the time.
