Roark. It was written on Feb. 17, 1918 and has Bob living at 506 Capitol Ave., Houston, Tx. He mentions his wife Edith. It was just an everyday letter just keeping in touch with his family with no special news.

His birth year of 1888, was confirmed in the 1910 Denton County, TX census. On a 3 June 1917, WW I draft registration card, Robert E Roark gave his birth date as Oct 24 1888, born in Burns City, TX, married and lived at 107 S. Flores, San Antonio.

I have a copy of a letter written to Mary Frances Ewing and it is signed "Your Bro. Bob". Bob and Mary Frances "Frankie" were 1/2 brother and sister. In it, he mentions his wife Edith. I think it was written about 1917-18. I'll find it and let you know more. Linda

Mary and William married in Ozark County Missouri, and migrated to Denton County with Mary's parents, John and Rhoda Young, as well as several of Mary's siblings. The family settled on Clear Creek, north of Denton and South of Sanger, near a small community called Gribble Springs. One of Mary's siblings was Josiah Young, who came to Denton too. His son was John Hampton Young (there are actually two in the family). John had a son, John Arthur Young, who moved to Quay County, NM between 1900 and 1910.

Is it possible to get a higher resolution copy of the picture of Rupert Davis? I need it for a web page, and print photo and the scan is too blurry for the purpose. If you cannot do this, no problem, as I am already grateful for your help and will try to get it from the Dallas Library. Thank you very much for all of your help.
