VARNADOE, Thomas — age 13, of Brooksville, Florida died on Oct. 26, 1934, in Marianna, FL.
He died under suspicious circumstances after 34 days of incarceration at the now closed Florida Industrial School for Boys, aka The Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys.
With aid from the University of South Florida, his family recently recovered his unmarked remains on the school grounds.
Thomas is survived by his brother, Joseph Richard Varnadoe of Salt Springs, Florida; nephews, Gene Varnadoe of Faber, VA, Glen Varnadoe of Lakeland, Florida, Randy C. Varnadoe of Brooksville, and Rudolph A. Varnadoe Jr. of Belleview; nieces, Pam Varnadoe Reed of Telford, TN, Marsha Varnadoe Patterson of Brooksville, Brenda Varnadoe Allman of Asheville, NC, Jeannie Varnadoe Littleton of Jacksonville, and Becky Varnadoe Schwarz of Plant City, FL.
His parents Thomas H. Sr; and Josephine Folks Varnadoe; and siblings, Hubert E. Varnadoe, Rudolf A. Varnadoe, and Ethel Varnadoe Tankersley, have since joined him in eternal rest.

A private graveside service of remembrance will be held on Monday, Nov. 24, 2014 at Hopewell Memorial Gardens, in Plant City, Florida.
Thomas will be laid into eternal rest next to his brother Hubert, who was incarcerated at the school alongside Thomas, and endured the same tortuous environment of the failed school.
