"Joe's business dealings"
 
   When Joe passed away in 1951, did his family inherit his business dealings? I know he had the Savannah Valet Service, Joe Jackson's Liquor Store, a barbecue restaurant, and the pool room in Chicago. Did Joe's relatives take over these business operations? Are any of them still going? Did they continue on for a little while after Joe's passing?

Well.....Dry cleaning business was sold long before Joe died, the pool room was sold to Lefty Williams around 1921...so that was no longer in the family.....the restaurant was sold before Joe opened the Liquor Store....so the only thing Katie got was the Liquor Store...and it did not stay open long after Joe died from what I understand. I guess I have already answered your last question....but just to clarify......None of these businesses is still operating today.
