Notes:

Per Larry Herrin:
!LINEAGE: Born in 1900 per Lillie Eaton of Joplin, Mo. Divorced from Joe
Herrin in 1899, she was caught with Fountain Randall, according to some, by
Joe, so he divorced her in 1899. The son belongs to either Joe Herrin or
Fountain Randall. Joe Herrin always told his family that Flossie was the
illegitimate daughter, but it appears that Ira was an illegitimate son and
Flossie is probably legitimate. Joe never told his family about Thelma or Ira.

IRA married JESSEE SUSIE LODEAN on 12 Nov 1921 in Missouri. SUSIE (daughter of JESSEE FRANCIS COLVIN and HOLLIS VESTA CORDELIA) was born on 16 Dec 1903 in McDonald County, Missouri; died on 1 Jan 1991 in Neosha, Newton County, Missouri; was buried in Union Cemetery, McDonald County, Missouri.

!NOTE: Memoriam and Poem by Alice Herrin, wife of Allen Custer:
~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In memory of my dear aunt Elizabeth J. Herrin.
Joyful Easter is here again and how vivid it brings to mind the event of
two years ago, for it was then that the death angel claimed my dear aunt.
She has been gone only two short years yet it seems so long, oh, so long
since I saw her smiling face or heard her welcomed voice. "Aunt Liz" had
a smile and a word of welcome for all. She was a dear good woman and her
friends were numbered by her acquaintances. She had been blessed with the
charm of true patience; had not been mad or spoke an unkind word to anyone
for nearly thirty years.
~
I miss you, Aunty, how I miss you -
Friends may think the wound is
healed;
But they little know the sorrow
That lies within my heart con-
cealed.
~
How I miss your cheerful presence
In the home you loved so dear,
And my heart is filled with anquish
When I see your vacant chair.
~
My heart was filled with bitter sor-
row,
When I bade you a last adieu;
Though you cannot come to me,
I am coming home to you.
ALICE HERRIN
