George Deo Firman is my second great grandfather. George was born on March 19, 1887 in Lansing, Michigan to George Rood (1864-after 1930) and Sarah Jane Stevens (1864-1948). George was the couples fourth child: Horace E. (1883-1924), Della H. (1885-?), Harriet A. (1886-?), Dana Carter (1889-1972) and Dale (1896-1964).
George married Adeline Viola Norman and they had five children: Garnet Adele (my great grandmother: 1913-1997), Ronald G. (1915-1980), Charles D. (1919-1994), Betty Jane (1926-1992) and Nina (1928-1994). George lived in Michigan for a large portion on his life according to the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census living in Detroit and Royal Oak. Adeline died in 1935 in Chicago so sometime between 1930 and 1935 they moved to the Illinois area. I have been unable to find several family members that would of been living at the time of the 1940 census and George is one of them.
George passed away on November 18, 1973 at the age of 87 in Loves Park, Illinois.
