Note by Kool Graves: Peter Sr (II) had a heart attack and died in 1952 on his job at a railroad site as indicated by his daughter. Peter II is buried in Jackson, MS. at a cemetery with several of his Winsley in-laws. He never moved to Chicago. Peter Sr. (II)'s wife, Mary, moved to Chicago with daughter, Alice, after Peter II's death. Mary's funeral was at a Catholic church on 49th St. in Chicago. She is buried in Chicago at a Catholic cemetery along with Carrie and some of her other children. Minnie was cremated and her ashes at a Catholic cemetery outside of Chicago. I am not sure if this is the same Catholic cemetery that Minnie's mom and siblings are buried at.
