    . I believe we are cousins. Clarence is my great great grand and I have all of his early press clippings and his son is still alive in Springfield OH...my great uncle. I have been searching for my cousins for several years.

    P.Reeves and Dnew, please contact me @mssimba1@hotmail.com! ALABAMA KID was my/is my son-in-law's grandfather's brother. The grandfather is the last living brother of Alabama Kid; he's in Columbus OH, as are other family descendants. Thanx.

    If you click on their profiles I think you can send them direct messages.

    Would really like to see what ANYBODY has, on the KID. Found a bunch of stuff online and working on putting together album on him, so anything would be great to have in addition to what internet search already turned up! P.Reeves & Dnew, and the fella who knew his first manager, and Bugger too as u posted pics... anything y'all got would be awesome to have, to include. ~ALABAMA KID should be commemorated in the States also, especially in Dover OH where he started and anywhere the Greats of Boxing History are mentioned; he certainly belongs in their ranks. Anyone interested in contributing to that venture please e-mail me at
