Note
- Sarah & Russell Roark lived in Walker County, TX. An interesting story is told about Russell Roark, a dealer in livestock. He fell in love with Sarah Ann Palmer, daughter of William Palmer, the community's first settler and proud and successful farmer. When Sarah Ann's father refused to let her marry a "horse trader" she and her beau eloped, riding all night on mule back to find a preacher to perform the service. In due time they were forgiven by the girl's father, and remained all their lives in the Dodge community. (Morely, Dodge Community History)
