    I am impressed! I forgot all about Mamie until I saw it on your page. I can’t wait to show these to Daddy. Nora Dee is also James Bedford Buck’s sister. Her husband was Jim Loftis. He and my grandfather had a really bad argument and he never told him when his sister died. He looked for her grave until he died but was never able to find it. My Daddy looks for her to this day. The burial place on her death certificate doesn’t make any sense. She died in Putnam County. Her death certificate says her father was Ben Buck but I’m not sure if Jim Loftis was doing that to hide her whereabouts from my grandfather or if he just didn’t know him. I saw him on the Census report and I think that they pronounced his name “Carlie” instead of Carroll – that is probably why they named their son that. ...
