Notes

  • Eunice was born in January 1902, according to her public records.  Her mother died sometime after her birth before October 1906, when her father married Lura Robinson.

    John and Lura have been married 3 years.  This would mean only the last child is the child of Lura.  Interestingly, though, the birth state of the child John's mother is reported as Mississippi instead of Missouri.

    The Horton family is living next door to Russell McSwain's family.  Two years later Later Eunice Horton will marry Russell's son Wylton McSwain.

    Ater one son, Bernie, was born in Arkansas about 1924, Wylton and Eunice moved to Dallas, Texas, where their second son James was born about 1926.
