Some additional genealogical information:
The elder Walter Byrd appears to have been married (to Stella) and had one daughter (Oneida born in 1930) and a son (Willie Thomas Isaacson born in 1926), according to the 1930 census. Walter and Ouida’s mother Sally could be the same woman and Oneida and Ouida could have been the same person and the names were recorded incorrectly. Oneida Byrd would have been 20 in 1950, the same age as Ouida. The elder Walter died in 1967.
Ouida Byrd was listed in the 1974 Cleveland directory as residing on La Rose Ave. She died in 1990, leaving several children. Furman is not listed as one of these.
Walter Byrd, son of Walter and Sally Powers (originally of SC, and who died in 1943 of pneumonia from exposure) of 97th St died in 1951. His death certificate identifies his occupation as “student” and his cause of death appears to be a medical condition. There is no indication whether or not he is Furman’s father.
