    3. Hello Listers, I joined your list in June. I have posted a few times and I have had a lot of help from this list. Thank you! I was searching for a marriage record for James"Punch" and Laura (Tatum) ROGERS. No luck in finding them in Lawrence County ,AR. I did find them over the county line in Jackson County,AR. James ROGERS 20 Alicia Lanna TATUM 18 Alicia ( name transcribed wrong)? married: 16 Aug.1912 Laura's sister Maudie TATUM married Earle D. ROGERS in Lawrence County 27 Nov.1914 the marriage record also included a note from Maudie's mother Mary TATUM giving permission for her to marry. With that done I went back to check the 1920 census. Maudie, widowed, is living with her inlaws, the ROGERS family Sol and Bell. I couldn't find James and Laura ROGERS listed in the 1920 index. I tried the wildcard search ROG* and finally found them. Their name was transcribed as ROGERO.,living in Marion twp. Rogero, James head 26 Lura wife 23 Roy son 6 Kenneth son 3 KELLY,Mary mo-in-law 45 wd. the name Mary KELLY through me off. Is this her maiden name(one could only hope) or did she remarry and was widowed again? 1930 census still in Marion twp. ROGERS,James 38 Laura E. 35 Roy L. 16 Adrian J. 10 Hilda 5 James J. 10 mo. TATUM,Mary 53 mo-in-law wd. son Kenneth b. 5 Aug.1914 d.16 Dec.1921 buried in the Arnold Cem. Jackson County AR. Mary TATUM b.abt.1875 d.1952 burial in the Arnold Cem. Jackson Co. AR. It's most likely Mary died in or near Alicia. Are there funeral home records available at the library or the Lawrence County Genealogy Society? I am also interested in an obit for her but, I don't have an exact death date. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time and assistance. Tina
