The family lived around Dayton, Rhea, TN, Crossville, Cumberland Co., TN and Rockwood, Roane Co., TN.
The family moved to Arkansas to get out of Teneessee. Growing up, R. C. & his siblings were called half-breeds. His children suffered the same, and as they reached young adulthood they decided to move west into Arkansas. The family stayed for awhile, but moved back to Cumberland Co., TN, only to move back to Arkansas a few years later. R. C. was in the lumber trade.
The home where they lived in Friendship, AR sat where the interstate runs now.
I don't have an obituary for Robert.
