Funeral Card Friday: James E. Hribal

Funeral Card of James E Hribal, Rockport, Illinois, citing services on 20 December 1978; privately held by Jennie Lee (Godwin) Johnson, Rockport, Illinois. Funeral card mailed from Jennie Lee Johnson to her brother Larry Godwin of Fort Smith, Arkansas,  08 October 2008, then passed on to his granddaughter, Ginger R. Smith of Durham, North Carolina who digitized and returned the photos to Jennie via mail.


James Eugene Hribal was born December 10, 1958 in Rockford, Illinois to parents Jennie Lee Godwin and Richard "Dick" Hribal. He died December 16, 1978 in Rockford. He had just turned 20 years old. He and my mother were first cousins which would make him my first cousin once removed on my GODWIN side. His mother Jennie Lee (Godwin) Hribal Johnson is my grandfather, Larry Godwin's sister.

This post is part of a Monthly First Friday blogging theme suggested by Dee Akard Welborn. Dee encourages geneabloggers to highlight our funeral card collections on the first Friday of each month.
