Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for a copy of the obituary for Otis "O.T." CARLOCK. Following is a copy of the text from the July 6, 2006, edition of the "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette:" "CROSSETT - Otis "O.T." Carlock, 71, of Crossett died July 3, 2006. Funeral services at 1 p.m., Friday, July 7, 2006, New Bethel Baptist Church. Interment at Carlock Cemetery under direction of Jones Funeral Home of Crossett, Ark. Visitation from 5-9 p.m., Thursday at the funeral home." I will also keep looking for a more lengthy version to possibly appear in the weekly "Ashley County Ledger," Hamburg, AR, at the following site, where the obituaries of other family members have appeared in the past: http://www.ashleycountyledger.com/ In addition to the obituary for Otis's sister Mary C. MCNEAL which I had previously located in this newspaper, one individual who responded to my query also found an obituary for an apparent half-sister, Amanda Corine TAYLOR (1909 - 1999), d/o William CARLOCK and Florence MILLER, widow of Otis TAYLOR, in this same newspaper. I am also presently doing some census work to try to connect Otis to the rest of the CARLOCK family. The family of Frederick Cornelius "Cornelius" CARLOCK/CARELOCK (1809 - 1890) and Matilda PYRON (1815 - ca. 1863) was in this same area, so it is quite possible that Otis was somehow descended from this couple. Frederick Cornelius "Cornelius" CARLOCK/CARELOCK is believed to be s/o John CARLOCK, Sr.; Frederick CARLOCK; Frederick (possibly Cornelius) CARLOCK/CARELOCK; David GERLACH/CARLOCK; Hans GERLACH. Additional information about Frederick and his family can be found in the GERLACH report which appears on my home page at the following site: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/?Welcome=1046272098 Susan Cearlock Tilleman Live Oak, Texas
