George Alson Atteberry, son of T.J. and M.E. Atteberry (Thomas Jefferson and Melissa Evylign Atteberry). He was the 5th of 16 children born to this family.

"I had a little brother, Alson, who died before I was born of an accident. Ma said he was running around the porch. We were living in an old house back then that had a porch that ran clear around it on all four sides, so all the kids liked to run around it, chasing each other. It pestered Pa and he'd get after them for it. One day Alson was running around it and fell off. Something burst inside (he must have had internal injuries - spleen?). This was not long after his third birthday. Pa but him in a buckboard (hourse-drawn wagon) and took him into town to see the doctor but it didn't do any good - he died anyway."

Alice Atteberry Carter
(from interview Sep. 1969)

She was told that he was a very sweet natured little boy and they all loved him very much. Alson and Arrora, a little sister, who also died young, were buried together at the same cemetery. The family moved to Missouri about ten years after Arrora passed away.

She told me her parents names and said her grandparents were; Thomas Atteberry (Sr.) and Elizabeth Pendley, both buried in Missouri. She went by Elizabeth but is given as Francis Elizabeth in some records. Grandparents on her mother's side were; William Johnston and Sopha Ary. Alice was my grandmother.
