Tom Burrus Blount, Sr.

Notes:

The social security death index shows that his last address of record was San Augustine, and that his account was issued in Pennsylvania. The image of his Texas Death Certificate shows he was born in Texas, and that his usual occcupation was with the Postal Service. He was not a veteran of the armed forces. It was also shown that he had lived in San Augustine his entire life.
