I am interested in finding anyone who may have information or may be researching the surnames of Lovett or Thead. Particularly a John O Lovett, wife Mildred, daughter Lottie.(who married a Clarence Thead). They were from Lauderdale County, Daleville and Meridian townships from what I have found so far. May have come from another county previous to these. Any help finding information on these individuals would be great. Thanks Leslie

Mary E. died when Leila Elizabeth White was about 15 years old. Lilly was already married to E. A. Bolton and living in Lake Village, Arkansas. Mr. A. H.
