Notes

  • I remember Arlie somewhat.  I remember he lived at Sunray, Texas.  I recall he once came by our house in Quanah, Texas, I think while on some business travel.  I remember he was alone.  I have a strong memory of his playing our piano for us in our living-dining room. We also went to Sunray to visit him and maybe other family members, at least one time.

    For years after, every time I saw a Sunray DX service station, I would think of Arlie in Sunray, Texas, the home of the petroleum company.  Arlie may have moved later to Canyon, Texas.  His brother Harry lived in Canyon.  Information in the Social Security Index for an Arlie Green that appears to be our Arlie, he was living in Borger at the time of his death in 1981.

    Arlie was a piano tuner.  Cousin Loretta Gregory Gay has a business card of Arlie's for his piano service business in Sunray.

    I did not have information on Arlie's wife from our side of the family.  But Arlie had several children.  Their names were given to me by Loretta Gregory Gay.
    Randy, Ronnie, Ralph, Sheldon and Ray Dean, and one daughter Sharon.  In October 2010 I got more complete names from Hugh Green, and information on Arlie's wife.  Arlie married Clara Edith Benger.

    "Their birth order as best we (who went to school with them) recall, was:  Ralph Crayton (died 1982) , Ray Dean, Ronnie, Sharon LaGayle,  Sheldon Earl (died 1975), and Randy Sherman."
    --  Hugh Green, via email from Rachel Ruthart to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 17 October 2010

    Several genealogies (seemingly sharing or copying information) report Arlie's middle name as Wesley.  This is confirmed by his son Sheldon Earl's death certificate giving the full name of Sheldon's father.

    Freda Parsons appears to be Arlie's sister Freda, who was 6 years old in the famliy census in 1930.  But the location on Sevier County, Arkansas (DeQueen area), does not fit with anything else I have on this family.  In 1930 they wre in Parmer County (on the New Mexico border).  So why would Freda, the lone girl, be in western Arkansas in 1935 (at age 11), then back in Parmer and married in 1940.  Why would Arlie and Clara have moved to DeQueen, then back to Parmer County in that short time?

    Arlie was living in Borger a the time of his death, but he actually died in Potter County, according to the Texas Death Index.  This probably means he died he died in a hospital in Amarillo.  The TDI also gives us his exact date of death.
