Betty Starr
- Saturday 24 Feb 1996 – Letter from Azalia to Pat HogueS1
- Dear Pat,
- Jackson Green Rasberry married a second time Betty Starr – of a prominent Cherokee family. Her sister married a VANN – another prominent Cherokee family in the early days. My mother was never crazy about her “Indian sister-in-law” but Uncle Jack always seemed to be content with her. As with everyone else, the depression years were not easy for them – but not as hard as they were for some of us. As they grew older they became quite prosperous from oil wells that were drilled on land my Uncle had bought over the years.S1
