GRIER ALMAND KILLED
ATLANTA JOURNAL OCTOBER 24, 1901
Grier F. Almand, 23 years old of 372 Fair Street, Switchman of the Georgia Railroad was crushed to death this morning at the crossing of Southern Railroad and Rapid Transit track of Decature Street shortly after
8 o'clock.
He stepped from his engine at the street crossing and was struck by another engine, knocking him down and ran over him. severing both legs betwee hips and knees. He was sent to Grady by ambulance where both limbs were amputated close to the body. He died shortly before 11 o'clock. Almand was 23 and married. Body taken in charge by undertaker Patterson and will be sent to Conyers. Grier was the son of Mr Jud Almand, deceased and grandson of Mr. H. P. Almand of Ingleside. They later decided to carry the body to Decatur. He left a wife an orphaned babies.

********
Grier and Cliff were married Novermber 24, 1897 in DeKalb County, Georgia.
They had two daughters. Agnes Mae Almand born 1898 and Mary Bell Almand born in 1900.
Mary Bell died of influenza during the epidemic of 1918. Her grave has not been located.
*****
In 2017 - YDNA was done for our Almand family.
The results.....Our name is not ALMAND/ALMOND or any variations of this name.
We can only trace (with proofs) our family line back to Thomas Almand, Sr. born 1762 who married Annice Ussery.
Familytree DNA told me that for some reason Irish people changed their names - a lot! There are eight pages of names matching our YDNA. But only four (4) names of Almand variations. At this point we may never find the answer to this.
Contact me if you are interested in these YDNA results.
