Yates, my great-great grandfather, and the son of my grandmother's (Eugenia Anne Yates McCann) sister, Josephine Yates, who married a Hearn. (Lela May McCann was my grandmother). According to notes from my mother, made in August 1976, Mable A. Hearn Owen died at age 87. She was a retired teacher of Arkansas A & M College. I do not have this family completely covered, except just from information I have gathered from Mother, and census records. Someone on this list told me that Hellums had died just recently.
