The first child was a girl, Nora Bell born on July 17, 1898. Soon other children followed, Bill, Lizzie, Henry, Alice, Roy and Jesse.
Four of the children married into the Davis family, Bill married Mollie Davis, Henry married Viola Davis, Alice married George Davis and Roy married Minnie Davis. Jesse married Ellen Selby who was a half sister to Nora's second husband, Fred Johnson. Nora's son by her first marriage to Isaac McDonald, Roland McDonald married Lillian Ritter, Lillian's sister Goldie Cleo married Amos Selby who was a half-brother to Fred. No one crossed blood lines or inter-married; but because these few families produced so many marriages within their bounds it produced a very tight knit community of family and friends.
