    3. HAVE A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE PARTHENON SCHOOL .I ATTENDED THE SCHOOL IN 1954-56? TEACHER WAS HELEN CASEY(ELMER CASEY WIFE). MY FATHER AND MOTHER LIVED IN OLD DORMITORY 1946-1947. MY FATHER IS HUGH HENDERSON (SON OF REED HENDERSON AND ELSIE (RAMSEY) HENDERSON. HUGH REMEMBERS DUSTER SUTTON ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Larry, I'm very happy that you wrote! All of these names are interesting to me as most [or all?] are probably related to the REDDELLs, and SUTTONs, in some way or another. Duster, was an older brother to my mother in law, Gussie Opal (SUTTON) REDDELL, who was married to Joseph "Joe" McKinley REDDELL, s/o James Knox Polk REDDELL and Margaret Isabell (COOK). Anything about Duster SUTTON, is really important to my husband and myself, as he and Clydus were so kind to us when we were newly married, in early 1957, living in CA., also. We visited them a few times when they owned a motel in El Cerrito, CA., where they also lived. They worked very hard to make it a success, doing all of the work themselves. They had a cute little red-headed daughter named Rita, who played her accordian for us. :-) They later moved to a new home in the area, where we visited them and were invited to dinner a number of times. Sometime later they bought a large mobile home park in Fresno, where we visited a few times while on our way to AR. for vacations. Sadly, Duster, died on a day when he and Clydus were to begin a new life. They had bought a trailer and were coming to AR. to visit friends and family, having worked so hard to make it possible to comfortably enjoy their retirement. They had just sold their mobile home park, and Duster had taken the car into a business to get a trailer hitch installed. They gave him a loaner car, it stalled in traffic, he got out and started to push it to a safer place and he dropped over with a massive heart attack. It was a very hot day, as I remember. Duster's parents were William Robert SUTTON, and Elizabeth "Lizzie" (FARMER). He was raised at RedRock. His grand-parents were Dr. Simon Solomon SUTTON, and Mary Ann (TENNISON), and Joseph C. FARMER, and Mary Ann (BURDINE). I have more data regarding this family if anyone is interested. I hope I didn't offend anyone by sending this information via the list instead of sending it to you privately, Larry. Gratefully, Sue Reddell Harrison, AR siouxsue@alltel.net
