Just a note about Elbert O'Harrow, the lineman who was killed in the accident in December 1928. Elbert's birth name was Elbert WHITE and he was adopted by the O'Harrow family when he was a young boy. He had at least three known sisters, Arah White (who married Andrew Jackson Skinner); Fannie White who married Mr. Morgan and Polly White who married Mr. Hightower. Have not been able to learn who these White children's parents were. From family stories, their mother's maiden name was Waters. The parents of these children presumably died when the children were quite young and the children were sent to live with other families in the community who raised them. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Candace, There was a Newman Russell White md. a Missouri Waters in Randolph Co. I don't see any of these children listed in the book I have though.
