This was my grandfather. He and his wife lived in a small frame cottage in Perryville, Arkansas . He was blind and had rheumatoid arthritis which totally deformed his fingers making his hands inoperable. He loved vanilla wafers and would have a few with every meal. We would spend a few weeks in the summer with this beautiful man.My favorite uncles , Floy and Leo Bird lived near Perryville as well. I would love to know more of his ancestry if anyone has knowledge. Thanks……Roger Ivan Phillips
