Note

"J.O. proposed to Louise on a Saturday night in the car. They had just returned from their night of "card playing" and were on the way back home.
"Went to South Carolina on their honeymoon.
"He was working for Henry Barnett at a filling station on Doughtery Street when they were married. Lived in a house with the Mathis family, in an upstairs apartment. Then they moved to the street beside the Methodist Church. From there, they moved to Bloomfield and lived there for about 30 years, until they moved to Epps Bridge Road. The house on Bloomfield had two sides. The other side was occupied by Sue and Dawson Maxey. When the Maxeys moved out, another couple moved in, and when they moved out, Lib and Grannie Wilkes moved in. They moved to Epps Bridge behind Bob and Betty because of J.O.'s health.
"Every weekend they would catch the Greyhound bus and ride to Lexington." -
