This is for Jane McBride: I am going to throw a few names at you and if they mean anything, let me know. Does Chester Meek mean anything to you? His daughter Joanne lives in Monticello. My first cousin's son married a Meek also. My husband's uncle married Winnie Estelle Scifres, daughter of Thomas Newton Scifres and Mary Savilla Johnson. Winnie's sister-in law and neice live in Monticello. Arvin Chance married Florence Jacks (she taught many of us) also from Lincoln County. She was the elementary principal when my mother began to teach at Drew Central. Two years later, Florence Jacks Chance moved to the 7th grade and my mother became principal. I spent many hours in the home of Florence before and after her marriage to Arvin Chance. They were engaged while he served in World War II. When he returned, they were married. Florence had a nephew named Perry Jacks who lived in Star City, I believe. Lucy Mae Haisty in the list of 1946 teachers was my mother. The McKinstry ladies that Karen Groce mentioned - Artie Belle McKinstry Robinson, Lela McKinstry Willis and Edna Lee McKinstry Groce were her cousins - their mother was my mother's first cousin. Let me know if you would like to talk with someone in the Scifres or Meeks families. Carolyn jhaisty@tcac.com
