Arvillia Cleo Palmer was next and I remember her from going to my favorite swimming hole that Dad called Rideout Falls which was close to Red Bay, Alabama. My grandmother Lillie liked to quilt and I believe she was one of the quilters.

James Hayward Huddleston was born in Hamilton, Alabama 17 February 1931. He married Margaret Milton born November 27, 1936 of Cross County, Wynne, Arkansas(which is the same area as my grandparents were married [Flavus Forest Huddleston and Lillie Cumy Palmer]. They were married March 11, 1954 in Hernando, Mississippi. Margaret Milton went to school in Wynne, Arkansas. Her parent were Ben Milton and Ledora Altman. Ben Milton worked at a sawmill and died in 1941 from heart leakage. Ben Milton born Feb. 14, 1917 & died March 4, 1941. He came from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was the son of Felix Milton and Lillie Mae Williams. Felix Milton born Nov. 16, 1878 who married Lillie Mae Williams born Feb. 9, 1886. Lived most of their life in Oak Grove, La. Ledora then Milton later remarried Wiley Horn(as can be seen in the picture at top of page). Ledora and Wiley Horn had a house in Parkin, Arkansas and later a farm in Leslie, Arkansas. Margaret Milton and James Huddleston had a house in Lutesville, Missouri by the railroad tracks and later a 160 acre farm in nearby Scopus, Missouri. Part of that farm became a gospel radio station after Dad sold the farm. Dad started paying for that farm along with my mother, ten years before he retired from the Army in Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. Mom worked at the Copper Skillet [restaurant] in Marble Hill, Missouri to help pay for that farm. Mom, later remarried an Arthur Klunk and they had a 16 acre farm in Marshall, Arkansas. Mom then had seven more kids. James Hayward Huddleston married 4 times. Margaret Milton was his first wife, Peggy Racco was his second wife, Eunice Denton was his third wife and Sherry was the last wife who was with him when James died. Dad was a firm believer in "spare the rod and spoil the child" and I have had evidence to prove it. Dad was a good father but a strict one. He was born in the midst of the depression and helped to support his brothers and sisters from the money he made in the Army [From Dad's own words]. He only got to go to school from first through third grade because of having to help grandpa in the cotton fields while growing up but passed tests in the Army to a college level. Dad was very smart and was a poet as well as a very good guitar player. He played in night clubs and was offered to play at Nashville by a talent scout but dad had prior obligations to the Army. He was close to his uncle Ex while growing up and dad dranked alcohol every since I knew him. He taught me how to make "shine" and other different kinds of table wines but I did not choose to persue it. I helped him on the farm in Scopus, Missouri and we made many stavebolts and crossties then with the help of his old John Deere "Popping John". He had a "pull along" saw mill and we would set it up near the logs that I helped to "snake up". I had a persistant rash of poison ivy and oak while doing it. We took some of our wood to Jesse Denton's [Eunice Denton's father] professional sawmill to make the house that later became the radio station in the picture below.
Dad grew up during World War II and enlisted in the Army three years after it ended. Two years after he went into the Korean War and took his old Gibson Flat Top guitar with him. Dad got shrapnel in one leg and just left it in there. He got a tattoo of an Arkansas razorback on his arm. He was then stationed in Germany after being in Fort Knox, Kentucky here my sister was born. He later went to the Vietnam War where he met my stepfather, Arthur Klunk in Playcoo (Not sure of spelling) and his guitar received more scratches and he had the neck of the guitar braced in a makeshift way. We moved to be with my grandmother Lillie Cumy Palmer and I lived with her for some time while dad was over in Vietnam. Dad thought the Viet Nam War was a huge mistake and thought much of General MacArthur in Korean War. Dad told me that he thought America had greatly changed between the two wars and was upset in the way Viet Nam Vets were received back home. He told me how the Montgomery Bill had took much way from soldiers. To the day he got his twenty years in Dad told me he had enough and was glad he spent the time he did but did not want to spend one more day in. After Dad retired from the Army in 1967 and we moved from Maryland to Red Bay, Alabama, I had noticed a difference in Dad. I had idolized him from birth to 1967. But the Vietnam war had changed Dad. He became a very hard person to live with when we moved to his farm in Scopus, Missouri. His drinking became worse and our relationship became distant. Dad later came to grips with his alcoholism and quit "cold turkey". At that time our relationship became close. I had seen what the effects of alcoholism had done to Dad and in November 11, 1983 I started going to A. A. meetings and just recently celebrated 19 years clean and sober. [They helped me to deal with growing up with Dad.] In short, Dad had a very hard life. He served in Korea and in Vietnam and saw the after effects of Germany. Germany is a beautiful country and has very good people. Bill Parker, the husband of Suzy Parker nee Huddleston help us to clear some of the land; She is showned in the picture below, too. James Hayward Huddleston (Huddleston, James Hayward, b. 02/17/1931, d. 03/21/1997, US Army, SSG, Res: Dell City, TX, Plot: O1 0 527, bur. 03/31/1997 http://www.interment.net/data/us/tx/elpaso/ftblinat/ftbliss_howhy.htm )and Margaret Milton had two children: Vickey Lynn Huddleston born September 18, 1955 and Roy Hayward Huddleston born January 29, 1957. Vickey was born in Fort Knox, Kentucky and Roy was born in Frankfurt, Germany.
