I am familiar with most of the names but the only one I knew personlly was Mildred Quattlebaum.  Anita will know her also when I jog her a bit.  Mildred was married to Clois who was Connie's brother.  Connie was father to Brenda and Sandra.  Clois and Mldred were parents of two daughters - maybe twins - I know Greta Kay and the name Martha Fay keeps ringing in my mind.

YES, Mary.  I do remember Greta and Martha Quattlebaum.....guess I never knew their parents.  As one of our classmates and he continues to be a good friend, Bryant Quattlebaum.....he's related to all of the Quattlebaums.  I had a few dates with Bryant, but never knew his parents.   I did know Connie and Reba Quattlebaum, they lived down the street from Red and Janie Langley before they (Red and Janie) built a house on Park Avenue.

I think it was in the mid to late 50's Clois and Connie built new houses next door to each other on South Main across the street from, but near the hospital.  Connie's family lived there for a number of years but Clois and Mildred moved away and back to Searcy several times over the years.

Sherry (Quattlebaum) Person, of course, would know Grace Quattlebaum (in the photo) as well as Mildred and all the others we have mentioned.

Don...Wherever you are..can you enhance the handwriting above the lady holding the baby.  It's too dim for me to read.

Don is hobnobbing with people from the U. of Arkansas School for Medical Sciences today.  I'm sure he'll be glad to enhance, when he gets back to his computer.   and now I do remember the Quattlebaum brothers building houses next to one another.   In my l957 phone book it lists  Rev. Clois Quattlebaum at 306 N. Cross, and Connie at RFD 4.  So what happened?  Guess we need to ask Sherry.

I love the idea of a sewing club.  My mom was in a community club that did some quilting...and they would make them and give to folks when their houses burned...when we were in Russellville my neighbor was still in a sewing club...our local church there had an active Dorcas club (which is like a sewing club but focuses on raising funds for missions).

Was your mother in law one of the Holmes that named the road in front of my house?

My daughter in law is in her second year med school at UAMS (gonna have a Doctor in the family)...smiles...the older we get the more we appreciate things like that...ha

So, are you going to start a sewing club, Ms. B...I want an invite if you do...smiles.  I wish we could see the dress of the little girl next to Dude.  It sure looks cute from what I can see.

Barbara...The house with the in-ground pool was the one Connie built.  As I remember the pool was not only in-ground, but also enclosed.  The house next door was the Clois Quattlebaum house.

When Sandra Quattlebaum and I were in the first grade, her family lived in one of those rock houses on West McRae.  I think there were at least two rock houses next door to one another.  I remember going to her birthday party at that house.  I remember the party so well because I won a book in some game we played.  It was the only thing I have ever won in my entire life.

If I remember correctly, the Clois Q house was directly to the South of the Connie Q house.  They were quite close together and at the time they were built they were the only two house in that area.

Don isn't "rusty", his head is still in the clouds from all his hobnobbing yesterday.  He'll come down to earth soon, and enlarge the name over the WOMAN HOLDING THE BABY, as he was aked!!!!  LOL, Don.

Barbara, many blogs ago you had a picture of the Quattlebaum girls and their mother, taken at some "do" at my house on Arch St.  I think the reason for the blog was everyone wearing a hat and gloves in the picture.  If you can't recall it, Don can - if he's not mad at me and refusing to do my bidding.

The woman on the right front row is Thelma Quattlebaum, she was married to Bonnie Quattlebaum

This is turning out to be a Quattlebaum/Langley club.  So, Marsha, what was Thelma Q's relationship to the other Q's we have already talked about?

I have a picture of a costume party held at the Joe Taylor farm (Jody's parent's, Barbara).  I'll try and find it and post, however I think Barb. has blogged it before.  Anyway, Bonnie Q. and Connie Q. were brothers, weren't they?  Were they twins?  (because of the names).....I do know that Thelma and Bonnie Quattlebaum were best friends of Joe and Myrtle Taylor.    My parents were at the costume party.

Anita...I am thinking you are on the right track about Bonnie and Connie.  I know Reva (Mrs. Connie) was a twin.  Ergo...twins marrying twins.
