Camille, I had to reply to your comments on Scott County AR. My roots are there, too. I lived in Bates as a child, though I was born in TX. My parents were married there. I attended school in Bates for a couple of years. I wonder if your grandmother remembers the Fruen family. My father was Grady Fruen. His brother Ellis, known as Dick, Fruen and family lived in Bates. My grandmother, Belle Fruen lived there. My grandfather, Will Fruen died in 1944, Belle in 1964. I also have a connection to the Pepper family. John Hendrix and wife Rose Whitlock were my great grandparents. The Sliger's are a connection as well. My mother was a Ralls. Her parents were Charley and Lottie (Hendrix) Ralls. Let me know if any of these names are familiar to you. I agree with you that Delaine is wonderful. She has been so helpful to me as well. Georgia (Fruen) Aeverman
