They had three ch: 1. Howard Carter 2. Kenneth Carter 3. Lucy Carter. It was "Aunt Alice" who lived in Tupelo, AR, keeping house for her brother, David, when his wife, Katie Thomason Renshaw, died in 1915 leaving children ranging in ages from James Carl, 22, to baby girl, Thelma Alline. Joe Herman was age nine that year and his wife, Bernice, told me how well he remembered the ministrations of their beloved Aunt Alice in their home. Alice had beautiful funeral, according to leaflets prepared for the service which was held at First Baptist Church in Carmi; In first place on the leaflet was Whittier's poem, "I know not what the future hath..... I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care". Flower girls were members of Dorcas and Phebean S.S.Classes and Pall bearers were: Ted Renshaw Lawrence Renshaw Joe Renshaw Elvis Renshaw Lewis Robert Renshaw Elbert R.

Bernice Long Renshaw told me about the Renshaw Reunion held in Carmi in 1935. She did not go since she was expecting her second child. Her husband, Joe Herman, went with his father, David L. Renshaw and his brothers, Fred and Clyde, from their home in Arkansas. The Carmi newspaper told it this way: "The event was held at the White County Fairgrounds with one hundred and seventeen present, the group voting to make it an annual affair on the second Sunday in August. "Mr. Elbert Renshaw, of Indianapolis, who was on the staff of the Prairie Farmer" and of Radio Station WLS, was Master of Ceremonies. Following the sumptous basket dinner, the program was held, which included a duet by Martha Ann and Marilyn Renshaw, daughters of H. W. Renshaw who sang later by request, "Red Sails in the Sunset", with another vocal solo by Mr. Charles Renshaw. Others also participated in the program which had been arranged by Mr.Elbert W.Renshaw."
