According to his obituary (published in Miami Herald on 01APR1961): George was "of" Bradford County, Florida and died in Nueva Gerona, Cuba (the capital of the Isla de la Juventud, or the Island of Youth - formerly known as the Island of Pines), where he and his wife Lucy May had three children: Mason (born 13AUG1907), Lucy (aka Mary, born 1910), and Walter (born 1914). He and Lucy are both believed to have been buried in a cemetery called "Cementerio Americano" on the Isla de la Juventud, where George's brother, Isaiah Louis Roberts is buried.
