    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vm.2ADE/1039.1 Message Board Post: Well, I have miss placed your email address. I did check with my Aunt about Great-uncle Roy. He died at about age 36 from a heart attack. We are still hunting through her papers to see the exact date. He took a race car to Indianapolis before his death. Did not drive it himself due to his heart condition. I don't know the name of his driver. There was an accident at the race. Again I don't know the details. Some say the driver was angry.. some say drunk and ran into another car severing Uncle Roys' leg which he then lost. A cousin of ours remembers her mother telling of him pacing the floor at her birth ... her mother hearing the constant banging of the crutch on the floor. Cordlia and Roy had no children. Roys brother Darlow worked at the restaurant for them. They wore tux's so it must have been fancy. Cordlia supposidly left Hutchinson and remarried. (Also was told she had her own "side " business.. and some girls who worked for her) She was what we would call ! today a prostitute.I keep checking for more info. By the way my Aunt has a picture of the car. I hope to get a copy for you. Becky Houston
