• Notes

  Per family information submitted to the Morgan County Herritage book: "Bill", known to most as 'Pop' owned a grocery store in Coalfield and Ruth, who was 10 years old at the time, was his only helper. Maggie died when Ruth was 18 months and she was raised by her father and four brothers. When the four boys entered World War II, she had only her father to care for her. During the war, Elmer never left the States. Billy was with a hospital unit in India and Harvey was in England. Gillis was in combat duty in the South Pacific. All fouor survived the war."
