My great-grandfather was Fountain Henry Rion Sr.  He was born
10/13/1883 in Nashville, TN.  He died in 1970 in Palatka FL.  He is
buried in the Oak Hill Cemetary in Palatka, Florida (Putnam County).

Dear fanbelt-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. After
the death of your great-grandfather, the custodian of his will would
have deposited the original will with the Clerk of the Circuit Court
for safe keeping as required by law. To obtain a copy of a last will
and testament filed in Putnam County Florida, you will need to contact
the Clerk of the Court.

Tim Smith, Putnam County Clerk
P.O. Box 758
Palatka, FL 32178
 
Phone: (386) 329-0361 
Fax: (386) 329-0888

I hope you find that my answer exceeds your expectations. If you have
any questions about my research please post a clarification request
prior to rating the answer. Otherwise I welcome your rating and your

near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Your answer is correct; however, based on the first comment posted to
this question, I contacted the Putnam County Courts.  Indeed my
great-grandfather's will was on hand and I ordered a copy of it. 
After I had ordered a copy of the will, I returned to the question and
saw your response.  So, you were right, but myoarin-ga gave me all of
the information I needed.

Still, I will pay the amount because I feel like you played by the
rules and I'm happy to have received the information from this forum
and thrilled to get a copy of my great-grandfather's will.

Greetings,
From this site, it appears that your great-grandfather was listed by
the Social Security as "Fount Rion" and a later relative as "Fount H.
Rion".

If the will was recorded, you will have to contact the Putnam County
Clerk of the Courts:

Good luck!

Great Info.  Thanks.

myoarin-ga, you can post that as the answer.  That's all I could ask for.

Glad that I could help.  Only G-A Researchers  - the ones with their
names in blue - can post anything in the answer box.

I hope that you find what you want.
Regards, Myoarin

greetings again.
Very pleased that you actually will get the will  -  and equally
pleased that you gave Tutuzdad five stars.

Got the will in the mail today -- all 47 pages!

Thanks again.

Wow, 47 pages!  Enjoy!

Interesting.  He is my Great-Grandfather too.

He had five natural born children, of which, Evelyn Lillard Rion is my
grandmother.  Did you know he wrote a 300 page autobiography?
