Grampie and grannie were married March 1, 1933.
They had two daughters, Billie and Betty. They thought the sun rose and set on those two girls of theirs and their families.
Billie Smith married J.E. Clark and they had two children, a boy Steve and a girl, Beverly.
Steve married Beverly White, they have two children: Matthew and Megan.
Beverly married Steve Harp. They have three children: Justin (not married), Jana & Lacie.
Jane married Todd Bewley, they have two children, Hunter and Addyson. Lacie married Jessie Reece and they have a boy, Aiden
Betty Smith married Charles Gurley and they had three children, two boys, Brent and Rick and a girl, Charlinda.
Charlinda married Steve Reeves, (he died in 2003 after back surgery from a blood clot in his lungs). They have two boys Curtis and Caleb.
Brent married Leona Bagwell, they have two daughters, Leann and Brenna.
Rick married Susan Dobbs and they have a girl and boy. Nichole and Heath.
Grampie and grannie's grandkids know the kind of love that gramp's showed when you were part of his special world. I just wish you could bottle up that kind of love, caring and kindness and save it for future generations.
Like I said when I posted a flower for grannie, family and blood gave me two loving and special sets of grandparents, God gave me a third.
The few years we lived there near these two wonderful people are, without a doubt, some of the happiest and most carefree years of my life.

When you remember me,
it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are.
It means that you can summon me back to your mind
even though countless years and miles may stand between us.
It means that if we meet again, you will know me.
It means that even after I die,
you can still see my face and hear my voice
and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me,
I am never entirely lost.

The picture of the school house is Burks School, the well had the date 1941 carved on top of it.
Granny Flossie taught her first year of school here in 1924. She was contracted by the state, see pic of contract, for three months from July 5 thru Sept. 1924.
She turned 18 in Oct of that year.
The contract says she was hired to teach the 2nd grade but according to her daughter, Billie, She taught all eight grades, eight hours a day, had 31 students and her pay check was $48.00 a month. Billie also told that she rode a horse from her home on upper Sweden creek, a little ways below the falls to Burks school.
The school house is about 5 miles off hwy 74 SW of Kingston in Madison Co. AR.
(directions to the old school house: Go west on hwy 74 from Kingston square until you reach lake on south side of Highway 74. Turn south at lake on MC 3365. Go 5 miles and Burk church/school will be below road on left (may not be safe after heavy rain as several low water bridges will need to be crossed)
