Mildred,Louise,Wilma and Buford were their children and I believe there were no more. Mr. Latta was not a big man, but attractive and always had a smile. The were both very good natured and so was Mildred. She was very pretty also as were the other girls. When I married the first time we lived in Mildred and Thurman garage apt. that was in 1956. Mr. & Mrs. Latta had a big brick home with a porch on two sides sort of yellow or white brick. We loved sitting on the porch swing. As far as I know he was always a farmer. Mildred worked at the ordnance plant in Jacksonville during the war making ammo. Thurman died around the mid to late 60's I believe from emphysema. Mr. & Mrs. Latta and my grandparents Hugh & Emma Fortner played cards with them every Friday night as well as with the Barrons across the street. And they were always guest at our Christmas parties at my grandparents. The Latta already lived there when my grandparents and my mother moved our from Little Rock in 1932. My mother Imogene and Mildred become ill about the same time. One night they went to a old folks dance and left about 9 pm to go home. At two in the morning my brother got a call from the police they had been going the wrong way on the road at Cabot not far from home and had no idea where they were or how long they had been out. That was the end of my mother driving, not by her choice though. My mother is 88 and has been in a nursing home about ten years. She doesn't know us. Mildred had Alzheimer. They say mothers is not that, but it acts the same. I believe the Latta's had the same. Anytime we went home over the years, we always stopped to see them as they were like family. I am going to try and get in touch with Peggy, she lives in my hometown of Jacksonville AR. I still have siblings there who can probably locate her and have her get in touch with you. Thank you for letting me be a part of their history.
