Research Notes

Note: Uncle Oscar. I remember Uncle Oscar having a big, white, handlebar mustache. He really liked to tease us kids. Uncle Lonie told me on December 9, 1997 that Uncle Oscar had a DRAY. That is a local horse and wagon transportation system. In later years he was a school custodian and was well-liked by everyone. He once ran for Justice of the Peace just to split the vote so the other man wouldn't win. He won by a landslide. He also married Uncle Edgar and Aunt Mildred. Aunt Odea was a large lady and he waited on her hand and foot.
