My Father's Brother Bob
Sadly, Bob Is Not In The Group Photo
The Day Of Their Mama's Funeral.
When his mama died, this prompted him to steal tires, thus he was jailed. Consequently, he was not allowed to attend his mama's funeral and is missing from the family photo's as well. Such a sorrowful day. Every child in this family suffered from being orphaned and dealt with it in their own way.
He was the 2nd child of 8 born to Henry and Annie "Laura" Simpson.
At age 10, on Thanksgiving Day in 1923, a horrific car/train accident claimed the life of his father Henry Simpson. Henry was not at fault. His father was only 37. His oldest brother William "Harold", age 11, was thrown from the vehicle and miraculously survived. His youngest brother James "Jimmy" was later born posthumously in April 1924. His father had co-owned the Hope Ice Company in Hope, Arkansas with his brothers. All who knew his father shared in this heartbreak.
He was a military truck driver and hauled troops. Then, he was a civilian truck driver and baker. His sister (Mary) Evelyn sent my father uncle Bob's Army Honorable Discharge papers, which also indicate divorced. A note was on the back from her, ~"I think The Lord's Prayer in Verse is Beautiful. It was in with Mama's things"~.
The early loss of his daddy and mama was tragic. He distanced himself from his family. Through her VA connections, sister Evelyn located him at the end of his life. He was always loved and missed.
Our family believes their were no children of his marriage.
