She was born in Tom, OK. and knew Wayne and Zenobia Reese. She does not remember them having any children. Wayne built the first gin in Tom, OK. and lived there for a number of years. He then moved to Idabel. Wayne also had a brother Carl Reese that lived in Tom and he ran a grocery store in Tom. Carl came to Tom from Foreman, AR. Mom thought they had two more brothers living in OK. that were both Church of Christ ministers and they used to come often to Tom and preach there at their Church of Christ when she was a kid growing up. Carl had two daughters by his first wife, Mattie and Effie Mae and then he married Mrs. Malone from Foreman, AR. and she had two sons, lester and John Clark Malone. Carl and Mrs. Malone had two sons and a daughter and the oldest son's names was James Thomas and daughter Bertha Jane and Carl was another son. Carl probably died in the early 1960's there in Tom and Wayne and Zenobia were living in Idabel then and must have passed away in the later 60's or early 1970's. James Thomas Reese was killed in the army and Bertha Jane lived in Broken Bow area but doesn't know about Carl Jr. Lester and John Clark Malone are both deceased. John Clark was living in Idabel, OK area. Mattie Reese married a man by name of Dunn and lived in TN. and came back to Tom and bought on Baker farm and then went back to TN. Hope some of this helps! Happy hunting.
