I put out a call for information on the following abortion death:
Mary Tennyson, age 20, Black, Richmond County, Georgia; January 21, 1982
My research arm, Keely, found some additional information -- she was born on October 15, 1961. Her death certificate number is 005646. She is buried next to a baby's gravestone with no name on it. This enabled me to look up genealogy records and find that she lived in Roberta, Georgia.
This gave me a lead to her obituary, which indicated that she died in a hospital in Augusta, Georgia and was a graduate of Crawford County High School and had attended Macon Vocational Technical School.
How Mary came to her death remains unknown to me.
