My A Athlea is 89 yrs young and remembers so much that at first when I moved to NW AR I could not find James W LaRoe's land but the 11th and 12th of August I finally had off work and went to the archives and count assessor's office.I found where JW and Alta sold their two tracts of land 12-4-1938 to a Mr Houser.Found all the land signs my aunt had been telling me and even found out that all of what was Fayetteville then was originally named Prairie Township before being named Fayetteville.Found the two tracts of land and they are the site of an ARVEST bank and strip mall now.In Oct when I go see my aunt again, I can ask her about Herbert.She has never spoken of him.She just remembered going to a creek like and swimming with your uncles when at JW's house.JW died June 1940 in Mtn View, AR.He did not go to CA.Alta went after his death and died in CA.My grandfather, Ira Franklin "Frank" LaRoe did go to Lodi, CA area with some (most) of his siblings.
Take care,
Betty
