Morning folks... I'm looking for info on Porter and Zella Hodges. I know nothing abt Porter other than the 1930 census says he was born in Missouri around 1902, was married to Zella, and they had 3 kiddos, Lorene, Berenice and Irma who were 6, 4 and 1 month old in 1930. They were living in Harrison, AR then. His wife Zella was the daughter of Owen Baxter "Fat" Lawrence and Willie Hester Hanks Lawrence. She was born in 1906, probably on 9/15/06. I am seeking birth and death info on Porter, his burial site and who his parents were. I did find a Porter Hodge (no s) buried in the Maplewood Cemetery in Harrison but I don;t know if that is him or not. Looks like he died in 1983. Zella doesn't appear to be there per the records I looked at. For Zella, I am seeking her death date/location and place of burial. Additionally, I am seeking photographs of these folks. I have only one of Zella with her dad and uncles taken in the 1960s. Thanks in advance! Rick Lawrence - Tulsa, OK
