End of Record
Postscript by Travis Hardin: I talked to James Conaway, still living in Anniston, Alabama in 1999, and he informs me that the Bible has been passed around the family and he no longer knows where the loose sheets are. Thank you, Mrs. Harie Rose! *** Sometime after posting this page I read in "Northeast Alabama Settlers", January 1985, that "Carol Marie Hugues Rose and her mother, Mrs Carol Eleanor Hughes, were killed in an automobile accident in Talladega County on Sunday, the twenty first of October, 1984." I would presume they are the same person.
