6. Louisa b. 22 Jan 1886 d. 1 Nov. 1958 Married Fred Herzog

7. Joe A. b. 3 March 1888 d. 16 Oct. 1962 Married Lakey Aldridge

8. Minnie b. 29 March 1890 still living Married ________ Kemp

9. Amanda b. 8 April 1892 d. 16 Dec. 1976 Married Walter Adey

13. William b. 12 Aug. 1899 still living Married Louisa Hicks

14. Lanora b. 7 April 1902 d. 16 April 1934 Married Lewis Slaughter

William and Louisa did live in the Kansas City Area. This data was given me by Verna (Haney) Scott of Houston. She is Ruth's daughter. Minnie and Ruth are both in Nursing Homes, but I think William (Bill) is still active though he is retired.

Vernon Elmore, son of John and Cora, now lives at 325 Cape Cod, Corpus Christi, Texas. He is the pastor of a Southern Baptist Church there. He is working on the Elmore and Haney lines and may have something you do not yet have.

I hope this will help you on to "Happy Hunting".

Sincerely.

signed Audrey
