from memories of Mary Effie Harmon:
. . .
You married Norman because he was a friend of Uncle Les?
Yes, but there were a lot more Barkers around, Elmer Barker, Chris Barker, Daddy’s brothers.
You said Daddy’s father was a Colonel in the Army, but you don’t know what Army?
Don’t know.
But Grandma was Irish? Were they kinda well off too? (Assume she means Henry Barker’s wife, Sarah Patrick Barker)
I didn’t live by them when we was a Colonel, he had died. She married again, forgot name. (MacDowell) But she had left
