Research Notes

His first two marriages are documented with marriage licenses. His last two marriage dates are in question. Appears that he married Emmer Parker before Eunice Mae Hayman.

The obituary for his second wife, Ruby Reba states she was survived by her husband, Troy Bishop. Ruby Reba died in 1977 but Troy's 3rd wife, Emmer died in 1975. So was Ruby Reba married to Troy at the time of her death?

The obituary for Emmer who died in 1975, states she was survived by her husband, Troy Bishop.

His obituary states he was survived by wife, Eunice Mae.

So he must have married Eunice Mae sometime after the death of Emmer in 1975. Bishop-4082 01:44, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
