THEODORE LOUIS PEMBERTON
OCT. 30, 1932 - NOV. 15, 1935

My great-uncle
St. Mary's Cemetery
St. Clair, St. Clair, Michigan

According to his death record at the St. Clair County Courthouse, Teddy died of starvation, bronchial pneumonia, and whooping cough at age 3. My great-aunt, Barb, told me that he died in my great-grandmother's arms. She was not yet born at the time, but this is the story that she had heard from her mother, my great-grandmother.
