My great grandfather was Louis Franklin Reid (commonly known as Frank). He was born in Arkansas I belive in July of 1872. He was married to Eva (Evia or Evias) Lewis, who was born in Reidsville, NC I think in March of 1876. Grandma Eva died in Jefferson County I think in 1921.
According to census records, they were married in 1896; they lived in Plum Bayou Township in 1900 and in 1910; they lived in Dudley Lake Township in 1920; their oldest daughter, Edner, lived with them in 1920 as a 22 year old widow. I know Grandfather Louis lived in Pine Bluff for some time after Eva passed away. He moved to Oklahom with his daughter Mary in his later years of life where he died I think in 1953. Louis and Eva had nine children: Edner [Edna] Hill (who lived in Pine Bluff most of her life and died there), Georgia, Louis Frank Jr, Mary (who moved to Oklahoma), Jessie, James, Albert [who changed his name to Robert/Bob] who moved to East St. Louis, Il and then later to Chicago where he passed away a few years ago, Seartrice B (who stayed in Arkansas, mostly Little Rock, where she passed away just last month, and Columbus (most often referred to by his surname Reid) who moved to East St. Louis at a young age and passed away there five years ago.
I know this post is lengthy, but I can't seem to find any more info on my great grandparents. I'm hoping someone will recognize some of the family members names and provide some insight. If you have any info at all or any advice, please email me at ttrwhit@bellsouth.net
