Willis, Thanks for that affirmative. I thought I remembered that from somewhere back in my past. I think I talked with her somewhere onetime. I did phone my friend who also had been one of Ramonia's little friends when they were children in Hardy, my friend visiting her grandmother who lived somewhere on the same street as Roy and his family. 'Tis small world indeed. I'd forgotten all about what little I knew about them.
Beth

Beth,

Yes! Roy did have a dau named Ramonia b. 27 May 1942 in Baxter  Co.
According to her mother, Wanda, she was an Attorney employed by the state of
Arkansas. This of course was a few year back that Wanda told me this. She
could be retired by now. I don't have a marriage for her.

Willis

Willis, Didn't Roy have a daughter named Ramonia?
If I'm remembering correctly, Roy was superintendent at Hardy in the mid
1960s before they went to Northwest AR. I'll phone my Sharp county friend
tonight to see if she had heard about Preacher Roe's death.
Beth

Betty,

Roy was a superintendent of schools in northern Arkansas. I never knew him
for he had died before I met Wanda. Wanda and I shared some very informative
times in our brief visits etc. Wanda was living in Pea Ridge in my last
visit and with her. I have not heard from her in a long time.
