  1. I am related to the Tarratus family. I would love to find out more about this info you have! Pardon my ignorance, but I am new to this format, so who do I contact, and how? :)

  2. Can I ask how you are related to Hazel Tarratus? The immunization card and the get well card are the only things I have regarding her, the rest of the stuff has to do with her sons. You can contact me at lapurple at bellsouth.net

  3. I am not the same person "Anonymous". My name is Kelley Coker. Hazel Taratus was my great grandmother. Her son William Vidma Meek was my grandfather. The items you found were inside the garage of the house that my grandfather left me. The home was ransacked both inside and outside in the garage by hoodlums or someone. Hazel along with her husband and both sons are buried in the memorial cemetary off of Old Middleburg Rd.
