Notes
a. Note:   N94 The City Directory for L.R. for the years 1895-6 indicate that he was a machinist and boarded at 2221 Center. The City Directory for Little Rock for the years 1897-8 shows that Marion was still a machinist and worked for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway. (This railroad later became MoPac, and still later Union RR.) He and his family lived at 1110 Ringo. Also working there was his nieces' husband, H. S. Turner, who married Josie Pritchard, his brotherĂ­s daughter. The Directory for 1899-1901 has him at the same job, but living at 1507 W. 7th. They were living in Pulaski Co., Big Rock Township, in 1900 and Marion had his brother-in-law, James Fair, age 39 and his son, Clayton Fair, age 11, living with them. They were both from Missouri. Nothing can be found on the 1910 or 1920 Arkansas Census' for this family. Not even the children can be found. All the states surrounding Arkansas have been researched looking for this family in 1910. It's possible he was transferred with his job. At this time it is not known. It's also possible Marion died, and his wife remarried. The 1910 Census has numerous families omitted. Need to look in 1910 at the people living near where they lived in 1900, Big Rock Township. The known children of Marion and Sallie would have been the right age in 1917 to have been in WWI. It's possible by searching military records of veterans of WWI, their location in 1917 could be found. This may explain not finding them on the Arkansas 1920 Census, since they could be in the military, and their mother widowed and remarried. The obituaries of Marion's sister Ester, who died in 1924, and his other sister, Shady, who died in 1937, do not list Marion as a survivor. He apparently died before they did. He may have died in either Arizona or New Mexico, in a locomotive explosion in the early 1920's. This has not been proven, or what became of his wife, Sallie. James Fair and his son, Clayton, were living in Argenia, or North Little Rock, in 1910. They were living in the home of his daughter, Lena, and her husband, William Riley. They were both printers by trade. They were still in North Little Rock in 1920. James had remarried, and his son, Clayton, was still single, but was boarding with someone else.
