Hi!

I'm revisiting an old post on the MONNEYHAMs in Izard
Co. Does anyone know what happend to the son, James
J. MOONEYHAM/N b. 1892? He's a possible match for the
spouse of my Maud A. KILLMAN. They married 11-12-1911
in Indepedence Co., AR., and I show James as being b.
abt 1890, so the birth year is in the ballpark.

Thanks!

Mary
