These anomalies may be enumerator error. But another complicaiton is found in Faulkner Coutny marriage records, which report that Lola Tucker, born 1906, married James Jones in 1924. He may be the missing husband of the 1930 census. But if so, then Merle Inez' fatehr wa James Jones, not Marvin Middleton. Marvin was likely her stepfather. No marriage record has yet been found for Marvin Middleton and Lola Tucker or Lola Jones. In the 1940 census, Lola's daughter is reported still resident in her grandparents' home, now correctly reported as their granddaughter, but with the surname of Middleton, her mother's new married name. 1940 Federal Census, Faulkner County, Arkansas, 2 May, Cypress Township, District 23-16, Page 13A, Hse #257, Rents $75 Tucker, Walter W Head M W 55 Married Grade 5 b Arkansas Same place in 1935 Farmer [b abt 1885] Tucker, Emma Wife F W 52 Married Grade 6 b Arkansas Same place in 1935 House wife[b abt 1888] Tucker, Paul Son M W 15 Single Grade 6 b Arkansas Same place in 1935 [b abt 1925] Middleton, Myrtle [Merle or Myrle] Granddau F W 14 Single Grade 9 b Arkansas Same place in 1935 [b abt 1926] Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957 Lola Tucker Age 18, Birth Year abt 1906 Residence Vilonia, Faulkner, Arkansas Spouse's Name James Jones Spouse's Age 21 Spouse's Residence Vilonia, Faulkner, Arkansas Marriage 29 Aug 1924 Faulkner County Marriage License Date 28 Aug 1924 Arkansas Death Index, 1914-1950 Lola Middleton Death 28 Aug 1939 Pulaski County ---------------- Lola Middleton Birth Dec. 8, 1906 Death Aug. 28, 1939 Parents: William Walter Tucker (1885 - 1974) Alice Emma Priest Tucker (1888 - 1974) Siblings: George Wesley Tucker (1909 - 2001) Cordie Gertrude Tucker Weaver (1911 - 2000) Hubert Leo Tucker (1915 - 1995) Hartley Walter Tucker (1918 - 1994) Paul Lester Tucker (1924 - 2005) Burial Vilonia Cemetery, Vilonia, Faulkner County, Arkansas Created by Cathy & Thomas Oct 19, 2013 -- Find A Grave Memorial #118948476, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=118948476 ----------------

Aretha was always loving and accepting, and loved people no matter what. Even at cost to herself, she would help others. She let people know what she thought was right and wrong, but she always had an open home and an open heart for everyone, in her family or not. The Ballard Rd address was her home for decades, from the time of her first mmarriage, when their address was the P O Box below, before the roads in the area were named, through her second marriage in May 1969, until the time she passed away in 2016. U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 1 Aretha Jenkins Birth Date 13 Nov 1932 84 Ballard Rd, Vilonia, AR, 72173-9372 (1989, 1991) 208 RR 2 Box, Vilonia, AR, 72173 Other addresses: PO Box 10331, Conway, AR, 72034-0004] 2948 Lavell Ave, Wichita Falls, TX, 76308-4106 (1995) In October 2016, Aretha had to have open heart surgery, due to blockages and the discovery that stents inserted a few years before had begun breaking down and were contributing to the blockage. While in recovery there was considerable difficulty in regulating her blood pressure meds and conflicts with the medicine for her COPD condition. Her stats were erratic and she also experienced a stroke. She stabilized somewhat but did not regain full consciousness, and then experienced another stroke. At this point, about 3.5 weeks after the surgery, it was discovered at that time that she had suffered an anoxic condition during the first stroke, and it now appeared that she had suffered brain damage not detected at the time of the earlier episode. Her daughter Julia was the main person informing the family through a Facebook messaging group. On Tuesday 15 November 2016 Julia sent his note: "Julia. I know I've been quiet over the last day, but I needed some time to process where we are in Mom's care. After spending extensive time with her doctors yesterday it's become clear that her lungs and her brain are not improving. They've established that when she coded on Halloween she suffered an anoxic brain injury because she was deprived of oxygen. She's become less responsive over the last few days and the EEG's show a decline in activity. Her lungs are also requiring more assistance from the vent to function. Unless Mom and God decide otherwise, we've made the decision to transition to comfort care later this week. We'd like to give her out of town children and grandchildren time to get here. Please continue to keep us in your prayers." Aretha succumbed on Thursday 17 November 2016. Here is Julia's annoucncement to the family. "For those who may not know, Mom went home to be with Jesus this afternoon." -- Julia Jenkins Willadson, Facebook Group Messaging, 17 November 2016 --------------------- Martha Aretha Jenkins November 13, 1932 - November 17, 2016 Martha Aretha Jenkins 84, of Vilonia, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on November 17, 2016. She was born to Jessie and Alma Tucker on November 13, 1932, in Faulkner County, Arkansas. In her young adult life Aretha would meet and fall in love with Climmie Franklin McPherson and marry in 1953. From this marriage four wonderful children were born; Jessie, Joe, James, and Janet. Aretha lost Climmie to a heart condition in 1967 and would later meet Orville Lee Jenkins, and fall in love again. They were married in May of 1969, and from this marriage two more beautiful children were born; Michele and Julia. Aretha spent her life as a homemaker and mother to her children. Eventually her kids would have kids of their own and Aretha who became MOM had now become GRANNY to some and GRANDMA to others. As if cleaning up after her own children wasnt enough she got a job as a custodian at the Vilonia School system where she cleaned up after hundreds of students for 13 years. Aretha retired from the school system and enjoyed her life from the comforts of her "CHAIR", and continued to help in the raising of her kids, grandkids, and now GREAT grandkids. When she wasnt working or caring for others she enjoyed spending time on her hobbies sewing and gardening and absolutely had to watch her "stories" and cant forget "wrestling" on Saturday nights. Aretha was also very involved with her church, when the doors were open she was there. She was faithful to the Lord and lived her life as a true Christian woman. Aretha left her legacy in the hearts of all of her children and her life impacted everyone around her. She was preceded in death by her father Jessie Tucker and mother Alma Frazier-Tucker, sisters Mary Collins, Ida Wilson, Genie Hammonds, Nellie Ramsey, Alice Beard, Rosalee Tucker, brothers Floyd Tucker, and Frank Tucker, first husband Climmie McPherson, and late husband Orville Jenkins.
