Note N106Ray and Fay Rockhold obituary- Ray and Fay, children of Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Rockhold were born October 8, 1914. Ray lived only five days, passing away on October 13, while Fay survived a few days longer and on October 16 departed from this world. After hovering for a time in that mysterious border-land, their spirits returned to Him from whose presence they so recently had come. Funeral services were conducted at the home on October 16 by Rev. Ira Glenn of the M.E. Church and internment was in Oik Hill Cemetery. (Lot No. 14 in Block No 15).
Virginia Rudisill's son, Chuck Rudisill, made the monument for the twins and installed it. Chuck was working for a monument company in Fort Scott, KS cutting and engraving monuments, and when he was cutting a large granite monument, it broke. The monument company offered a piece to him so he cut and engraved it and took it out to the cemetery in Elk City on Saturday. When he got to the gravesite there were five sites and he didn't know which one the twins were buried in. He called his mother, she called Ted, but he was out in the field. Virginia called Gladys but she was gone shopping. So she called Chuck back, and told him to just put it in the center of the gravesites. And that is where it is to this day. This was after my grandparents and my aunt Lenora were deceased.
