Hi Betty and Evalyn;
Thanks, Betty for the Mason information. I sort of knew Rhonda and Mary DL
Mason werte related but didn't know how.
The spelling I used for Rhonda A. Mason came first from her grave marker
and the marker of her daughter Ollie F. Forrest who died in December 1918
at the young age of 18.
The spelling is Rhonda on both markers. The 1920 Federal Census for Violet
Hill Township, Izard County, Arkansas shows Roda (Rhonda) widowed and
living with son Louis A. Forrest and his wife Mary A. It appears the name
was spelled several ways.

Question: Ollie F. Forrest died December 12, 1918 and her father Louis O.
Forrest died in September 21, 1918. Could they have been victims of the 1918
world wide influenza epidemic?

Lewis Mason
and wife #2: Dorinda Womack
Their children:
1) Rhoda...md. Lewis Forrest
2) Cyntha...md. Robert Campbell
My mother was married the first time to a son of Cyntha and Robert Campbell
(Wm. Stephen) and he died young. They had 2 daughters So Cyntha & Robert
were my 2 older half sisters grandparents, which made them related to my
husband also. I have heard my mother talk about Aunt Rhoda Forrest
3) Mary D.L.;...md. William W. Forrest

I wonder if Rinda Hames, dau. of Louis and Rhoda Forrest might have been
named Dorinda, and called Rindy?
Betty
