Francis Marion "Bud" Renfroe |
When Daniel and Julia died on 12-8-1895 in Madison Co., AK, Leon Rash and two of his sisters, Clara and Myrtle were taken in by Wade Blassingame Aday and Susan Cossey. Leon's brothers came to get him, but left the girls with Suzy and Wade Aday. Francis Marion Renfroe, son of Joshua and Anna Brown Renfroe, married Clara Rash July 7, 1908. Clara and "Bud" Renfroe lived in the same area of northern Pope County, AR. |
Bud moved his family from AR to near Ft.
Gibson, OK in the 1920s. Bud went to the bank to
borrow money to make a crop in 1927. He walked home down the railroad
track. Someone shot him in the back of the head and stole his crop
money. Clara was left alone to raise their children.
