Please make any responses to the lists. I do not know any more about these folks. I am just the messanger. I don't believe they connect to the Hazel-Trotter family I am working on, but are known thru their ministry.

Henry Bell Oct 27 1873 Dec 12 1962 *White, Ardea Muriel Nov 6 1901 Jan 14 1987 *White, Hallette Watson Aug 15 1899 Jul 21 1919 *White, Leilah Mae Dec 30 1903 Jul 18 1961 *White, Mary Belle Aug 26 1896 Nov 19 1932 [One question that comes to my mind, as a Baptist..... how did she continue to be a member of Red Bank for 66 years and teach Sunday School while her husband was ministering to at least two other churches in the area. By todays standards, that is strange. I guess if he was splitting his time between the two church and traveled to them, possibly wives did not travel with their husbands.]
