Father of H.E. Neeley
I am trying to locate information regarding my family
history.My father's name has been given in several variations:Howell Edward Neeley, Edgar Howell Neeley,
Howell Edgar Neeley and Edward Neeley.He was born on
March 24th or 28th in 1903.He married my mother who also
has used several names:Lenora M. Neeley; Molly Lenora
Neeley and Lenora Neeley.Her maiden name was Sherrille or
Sherrile.They have four boys and one girl....me.
Edward Dewayne Neeley was the first born in 1927.He died
in Feb. of 1986.I believe my mother's family was from
Arkansas.Her father died when she was rather young.
She had a sister named Laura Odetta and two brothers, "Hack"
and I cannot recall her other brother's name.She graduated from high school in Marlow or Marland, Oklahoma and then went to college in Edmond, OK.I believe it was
a teacher's college.I lost my parents when I was rather
young and am left trying to piece the past together.I know my father had a younger brother named Jack.He also had a sister named Mae.Mae lived in Okla. City, as we
all did growing up.I was born when they were almost 50.
My brothers were grown.My father died in 1965 in OKC.
My mother's sister, "Det" went to Oklahoma Baptist University and met and married Fred Whilhoite, a Baptist
Minister.For many years they, too, lived in OKC.Uncle
Fred started Council Road Bapt. Chuch.They have both passed on now, too.I don't know my grandparents names
on either side of my family.I believe that for a while
my father lived with a family in Arkansas by the name of Davis.Willis Davis was his lifelong friend and one of the
members of the Davis family my father lived with.My father also had an older brother who died in his 30's I believe.He may have had another sister named Edna.I recall my father's mother living in Anadarko, Oklahoma.
If you know of any history involving my family I would greatly appreciate a response.Thank you.SNeeley
