My daughter Kara has things a little mixed up. My father-in-law was William Clark Coonrod, the adopted son of Cecil Everett Coonrod and Dorothy Spencer Coonrod of Dennison, Texas. Cecil Everett Coonrod is a descendent of William Woolery Coonrod. Bill Coonrod was born 10/28/1934 I think in Dallas but I'm not sure. I have been told that he was an Edna Gladney adoption also but I believe that is in Ft. Worth. He married his high school sweetheart, Marion Tubbs Coonrod, had 3 children, Donald Scott, Robert Clark, and Shari Lynn who are all married and have their own children. Bill passed away 10/4/2003 while on vacation in Belize. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
