Ola Romalow and children (Ulys' niece, David's daughter) Hazel, Harold, Harvey

Harold Romalow died 28 April 1929, age 6, cause of death: blood poisoning from nail puncture wound in foot.

Harvey Romalow died 21 Dec 1931, age 3y 6m 5d, cause of death: gangrene/toxemia (blood poisoning)

Hazel D. Romalow Williams (married to Everett J. Williams) died 22 Aug 1937, age 20, cause of death: lobar pneumonia/pregnancy with eclampsia

Not sure who this is. I think it is George Bullard's second wife Mary Alice Moorehead Bullard. She was first married to Daniel Robinson in 1891 and they had two sons, Levi and Herbert. About 1904 she married George H. Bullard, who was an uncle of John Henry Arnold, and they had daughters, Margaret Tessie and Georgia Alice. (See photo below.)

Arthur Ramsey and Maud Cartee. Not sure why they are together in this photo -- maybe they were engaged at one time? I don't think Arthur is related to our family. She married Sam Hall. She died at age 20 from tuberculosis.

American Legion Auditorium burning, Judsonia, Arkansas

I don't know the date of this event.

Ola Owen and friends

I think Ola is the one on the left, but I wouldn't swear to it.

Ola was a daughter of Paralee Carter Owen. Paralee was a sister of my great-great-grandmother Adaline Carter Arnold.

George Ned Arnold with his son Amos

Amos was the first child of George and his first wife Jessie. He died at age 7 from typhoid fever.

George was a brother of my great-grandmother Annie Arnold Hicks.

George Ned Arnold and his son Amos

Amos was George's first child with his first wife Jessie. 

Amos died at age 7 from typhoid fever, so there are very few photos of him.

George was a brother of my great-grandmother Annie Arnold Hicks.

L-R: Garland Dye, Noma Dye, Morris Burford, Wathada Burford, Bob Burford, Ron Burford

Garland and Noma were children of Sylvia Arnold and Delbert Dye.

Sylvia was the daughter of Marlie Arnold (Annie's brother)

George Ned Arnold and Jessie Tamsett

This is cropped from a larger photo:

Ulys Hicks, Annie Arnold, George Arnold, Jessie Tamsett, 1910

Ulys and Annie married in February of 1910, and George and Jessie married in July of that year.

Cleffie Hicks, Opie and Obie Arnold, Sylvia Arnold

These four cousins were all born in the same year (1917). Cleffie was the daughter of Annie Arnold Hicks, Opie and Obie were daughters of George Ned Arnold, Sylvia was the daughter of Marlie Arnold.

(Annie, George, and Marlie were sister and brothers)

Etta and Ben Jackson with their first 2 children Alvis and Wincel

Etta was the sister of my great-grandmother Annie Arnold Hicks

I don't know who these people are, and I can't seem to locate the hard copy of the photograph right now. This album no longer exists -- I have rearranged all the photos into other albums since I scanned this one in the beginning. I'll continue to look for it and post it again when I find it. To the best of my recollection, this was a neighbor family or just some people who came to have their family portrait made. (My great-grandfather Ulysses Hicks was a professional photographer at the time.)

Adaline Arnold and her two daughters, Annie (left) and Etta (right)

Adaline was my great-great-grandmother. Annie was my great-grandmother.

This is the whole Arnold family, minus one - George - who may have been the person taking the picture. L-R: Marlie, John, Henry, Adaline ("Maw"), Annie, Etta ("Ettie")

Etta was born in 1900, so that will give you some idea as to how old this photograph is. This copy of it is kind of torn up, but I have other better copies of the same picture.

Arthur Ramsey

I don't know who Arthur Ramsey is, or whether he is related to us or not. I have another picture of him with Maud Cartee. But Maud married Sam Hall, and she died when she was 20 years old (of tuberculosis). I'll bet there's an interesting story there -- if only I knew what it was!

Maud Cartee and Arthur Ramsey

Sylvia and Delbert Dye with their children Noma and Garland

Sylvia was a daughter of Marlie and Birdie Arnold

Nancy ("Nannie") Hicks Sandefur, age 84y 5m, with great-granddaughter Debbie Wright. Nannie was a sister to my great-grandfather Ulysses Hicks

Back: Ida Mae and Viola Sandefur. Front: Malisa Hicks and Nancy Hicks Sandefur. Malisa is Nancy's mother. Mae and Viola are Nancy's daughters. In the picture above, the baby Nancy is holding is Viola's granddaughter.

Oma Dell Barnett

This school group includes my great-grandmother Annie Arnold and her siblings George, John, Marlie, and Etta. I am not sure which ones they are . Here is a copy of the same picture tagged with my best guess -

George Thomas Carter and Larah (Laura?) Ann Elizabeth Wilkerson Carter with their children Lena, Frank, and Etta. Laura died in a tornado. George was a brother of my great-great-grandmother Adaline Carter Arnold.

Birdie and Marlie Arnold

Here's what cousin Glynda Carter Tucker wrote:

Marlie was the fourth child of Henry and Adeline.  He married Birdie Hays in 1915.  They were married at Concord, Arkansas.  He was also a blacksmith.  Their first child was a boy, born dead.  They had eight children.  All born in Cleburne and Independence Counties.  Two of the eight died young and six are still living.  Marlie died in 1970 and Birdie in 1978.  Both are buried at Wilburn, Arkansas.

Ulysses and Annie Hicks, Charlotte ("Tot") and Albert Williams

Ulysses and Tot are brother and sister

Hope and Dorothy Mae Arnold

daughters of Marlie and Birdie Arnold (Marlie was Annie's brother)

Ulysses Fillmore Hicks

my great-grandfather

Lloyd Leasure, Thomas Lyles, Albert Earl Sheffer, Raymond Browning

I have no idea who these boys are. I'm guessing they have something to do with Judsonia high school -- maybe the track team? (My great-grandfather Ulysses Hicks was a professional photographer in Judsonia, Arkansas, so he took pictures of people who were not relatives of ours.)
