Do you remember Margaret, Clint's wife? She's his daughter in law. Cousin Stella, of Columbus, Ohio, Uncle Luther's daughter, told me he died in an accident the first day of work for the city of Marion. I guess it was rather suspicious, since he apparently was the first Black man they hired in his capacity. I think he drove some type of vehicle which fell on him or something, according to her. Perhaps you can find some info on it and share that with me. I have been trying to find Susan Hairston on the internet but, had no luck so far. Ask Cousin Carolyn if they hear from her. Her children were Toby, Lori and several others, I think. Her husband is Robert, a Holiness preacher. Good to hear from you! Lora
