Alvin and his wife Emma are buried in Lonoke County and must have lived there
(probably near Carlisle). They may have moved to Arkansas at the same time as
Allen. It's interesting to note closeness in timing of Clarissa's and Emma's
death.

Robbie and I visited Emma's grave today Jan 19, 1997. Hebron Cemetery is very
near highway 13 just north of Carlyle on a state road 236. It is across the highway
from the Hebron Baptist Church. We noticed two children's graves with a common
headstone for Maxine and Delors PRYOR. These had the same kind of flowers as
Emma's. I left a card and a message to call me. She was buried in Hebron Cemetery,
