    Grace and Arnold appear in several city directories, mostly in Atlanta, but once in Macon, Georgia, that I have found.  Note that some have her initial as N for her middle name Nell and some have G for her maiden name Griffin.

    In 1940 they are in Macon Georgia.  I hve nfound no records between the 1937 Atlanta city directory and the 1940 census.  They were still in Maocn in 1945, when they were listed in the Macon city directory.  But for the 1947 directory, they were back in Atlanta.
