I do know that she was half Creek or Cherokee Indian.It seems no one knows Molly's maiden name. I asked Earline several times, but she could never remember, I'll send for my uncle Keith and see if he knows. I do know that she was half Creek or Cherokee Indian. I heard on many many occasions of her brother or father being severly crippled and being burried sitting up in a rocking chair.�

Ellis did marry Lethy (I don't know the spelling, but it was pronounced Leeth E). They had a son named Waco, he's about 50 now.�

Irene does still live with Roger. I too have come across an obit for another Irene Pate. As far as the middle initial, I don't know. Roger and Sherry's son's are Jason (oldest) and Brandon.

The more I hear from you, the more comes back to me.

I'm working now, but will most likely email again this evening.
