Infant daughter of Jim Cannon & Wife

White female, miscarried on 11 May 1918 in Pensacola, Florida.  Her father was Jim Cannon, born in Florida; her mother: Miss Paul, also born in Florida. The informant: F.R. Pou; the physician was Stokes. Her cause of death was accidental miscarriage. She was buried by F.R. Pou in the Escambia County Poor Farm cemetery.

There is an Escambia County, Florida marriage record for James Cannon and Lavertie Paul for 3 August 1912 (they were married by W.R .Douglas, Minister).

This family is well-documented on Ancestry.com, so I do not consider them “forgotten” for the purposes of this endeavor. The family genealogist has their names as James Richard Cannon and Theresa Levertia Paul. (James did not long outlive his daughter; he died of Spanish flu October 23, 1918.)
