In the 1940 census, Arnold and Grace are enumerated in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. I have not found a record for them between 1937, when they were still listed in the Atlanta directory, and the1940 census. They are listed in the 1945 census in Macon, but the next record I find for them is the 1947 Atlanta city directory.

Cindy, who created this memorial for Arnold and other members of this family, is Arnold's granddaughter. She is my 3rd cousin, and we got in contact thorugh Ancestry. She has provided several family photos on Find a Grave and her genealogy.
"Yes, I am your 3rd cousin. Mary Constance Terry Keith is my Great Grandmother. I found pictures of her in my mother's things after she passed in 2008. Mother was named after her, and she did look like her."
