Albert Billingsley 69 pioneer merchant of Cotter died Sun in a Memphis
hospital. Burial was in Cotter Cemetery. Survivors are his wife, a daughter
Mrs Bill Douglas of Memphis, two brothers Ed Billingsley of Melbourne and
Roscoe Billingsley of Fort Worth, Texas and one grandson Judge Douglas of
Cotter. (another article same date: he was born in Franklin, s/o Mr & Mrs
Warren Billingsley)

An earlier article dated Mar 7, 1941reports the death of his brother:
Funeral for Austin Billingsley 63 of Wayne, Okla, held at Purcell, Okl.
Survivors are his wife, 4 sons; Boyce, Baker, Dan and Berry and 3 brothers;
Ed of Melbourne, Albert of Cotter and Oscar of Fort Worth, Tex. He was a
native of Izard County.

Another article dated Jul 9, 1943
Edward Billingsley 73 deid Tuesday. Survivors are his wife, a son Baxter
Billingsley, a daughter; Mrs Vernon Shell of Amarillo, Tex and a brother
Roscoe Billingsley of Wayne, Okla. Burial was in Melbourne Cemetery.

Wonder if Roscoe was left out of Austin's obit or if Oscar was a mistake ? ?
