Hello, Betty Rowe is Emma Hollon, daughter of James and Caroline (Elkins) Hollon. I only have her listed as Emma Hollon so I am guessing that Elizabeth was a First or Middle name. She was born October 5, 1885 in Wolfe County. She had three husbands: James Beatty; Rufus Enyeart/Enyart; and Harry O'Dell Rowe. I don't know who the half sister is that married Gene Fry, but the other ones are: Myrtle (Hollon) Land; and Ivy Marie (Hollon) Noel (her husband's name was Hugh Bogie Noel). The Beckham Hollon mentioned in her obit is the same John Will Beckham Hollon in the second obit. James Buchanan's first marriage was to Caroline Elkins and his second was to Rosa Belle Byrd.
