Frank came from Austin, Texas. Julie was hissecond wife. When she died, he married for a third time. My mother could not remember her name. My grandfather was one of seven boys and two girls. He and mygrandmother, Emma, married on May 23, 1933, and they had six children: Rester Lloyd, Jr. deceased: (m) Frances Smith of Walhalla, no children Elizabeth Anne : (m) Preston Owens -divorced, 1972; children:Lisa Renee Owens Carpenter 7/24/62; Tracy Yvette Owens Morgan;8/30/66 Janie Mae: (m) Douglas Owens (deceased); children; MichaelDouglas, 9/18/73 Matthew Robert, 1/27/77 John Wesley, deceased: (m) Mary Fanny Smith, children: TammyMarie Parker Vicki Lynn David Calhoun: (m) Janeen Kidd of Anderson, children: JacobCalhoun, Emma Janeen, Laural Ann, Sarah Mae, Mary Ellen. Anita Sue: (m) Kenneth Moore of Clemson, children: Adam Thomasand Katelyn Sue A neat story about my grandfather is that he was a carpenter andhe built the first bomb shelter in SC, and even men from Washington came toview it. A funny story about my grandmother happened when she went to work ata public job. My grandfather was very particular about women not working outside the home, but one day my grandmother got mad at him and went towork. She worked long enough to prove to my grandfather that she too could earn money. So after her first paycheck she quit. I get my stubbornness frommy grandmother. A romantic story consist of how my grandparents met. It has beentold that my grandfather left home at 13 to travel all over the US; when he returned to the upstate looking for work he got a job hoeing cotton.While he working the land, he spotted my grandmother in the field working, and heknew that was the woman he would marry. When they did decide to marry, theywere working in that same field and they laid down their hoes and left to get married. I now live down the street from the home place of mygrandmother. It is amazing how God brings everything back around. I had know idea thatthe man I was dating lived up the street from my grandmother's home place.And now we are married, and I can look out my back window and see where my grandparents fell in love. History does repeat itself. --------Tracy Morgan
