Notes for William F. (Willie) Eley

Willie and father John A. both show up in the 1910 Census, AR, Hempstead Co., Redland TS, living with Henry Bynum Eley. Willie is shown as a nephew to Henry, and John as Henry's brother. It appears that John's marital status is marked as "W" for widower, although the entry is not clear. I believe that Willie was born in 1902 and his mother died between then and 1910. The 1920 Census, same location, shows Willie living as a nephew with James Lymon Eley, who was another brother of John A.
