I have that Lola Claudean Wright 1934-1987 was the daughter of Printis and Oshia Reynolds Wright. In 1952 she married George Warren Fowler 1932-1987. They had two boys and one girl (names unknown to me) Is this the same Lola Patton you mention? Was she married to a Patton before? If so who? George Warren is a Roger Delk descendant and therefore a distant cousin of mine. Would like to hear from any cousins of the same branch.

I knew the Whittenburg family when I was growing up. They lived about 2 miles from me. Randolph is indeed the person Brenda has identified. I'm pretty sure that all the children on Robert "Bob" Whittenburg are dead, and I know that Willard had only one son, David, who is also deceased. Willard married Jessie Pile, and she is deceased.

Thank you so much ,i believe you have the correct Randolph for we heard that he died after moving back to tenn. what i do no is he had 3 brothers and i dont remember their names i met his parents once and they were such nice people, we had dinner with them and they lived in a big house on a farm in Byrdstown Tenn. thank you so much as we have wondered about him , he was a nice man and dont think he ever married, he dated my sister for a long time and wanted to marry her but she would not marry any one and she was born in 1919 and broke a hip and now in a rest home in Cincinnati, Margery Morgan

Hello Margery. I don't have a "Randolph Whittenburg" in my database", but Norbert Whittenburg had a brother named Billy Randall Whittenburg who died in Cincinnati, OH in 2001. Is this the one? If so, here is his obituary, below. I do have a "Delmar Randolph Whittenburg" (b. October 22, 1914, d. September 04, 1975, buried at Wayne Davidson Cemetery, Pickett County, TN), but I don't have an obituary for him. He was the son of Robert Taylor (Bob) Whittenburg and Deborah C. (Debie) Evans. He had a brother named Willard and one named Cohen, that I have record of. Willard is not living, but I'm not sure about Cohen. Do the dates of this one sound about right? Norbert Whitenburg's grandfather (Edmond D. Whittenburg) was a brother to Robert Taylor (Bob) Whittenburg (father of Delmar Randolph Whittenburg). ------------------------ BILLY RANDALL WHITTENBURG Billy Randall Whittenburg, 67, of Cincinnati, OH, passed away Oct. 15, 2001.
