Aaron Sonny Houston ATTERBERRY
Data from Emma Mae Jones 1978: Sonny had a rare blood type: O null, with neither positive nor negative Rh factor. According to news articles from the Kingdom Daily, Atterberry is one of the three O Null blood types on record. The other two live in Japan and in Europe. He discovered his rare blood type when he gave blood for his niece who had been in an accident. He now keeps blood on hand for himself since he can't use any body else's. His blood has been used to help a man in Texas, a man in California, and just recently (1976) for a baby from New Zealand. He was an only child and has no children of his own. At a recent family reunion blood tests were performed, but no one else has this trait.
Data from Emma Mae Jones: No children with first marriage (was widowed after 6 years), and no children with second husband. They raised a cousin, Mary Joann Williams.
