Charlotte Alma Lawlis was born June 4, 1874 in Columbus Indiana to parents Peter Benton and Sarah (Rhodes) Lawlis. She died May 16, 1955 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Charlotte was the 13th of 16 children born to Peter and Sarah Lawlis. She moved to Arkansas with her parents in 1876. Her brothers and sisters were, James Algernon, Milton Allen, Simon Peter, Sarah Jane, Phillip Willard, Martha Elizabeth, Alfred Stephen, Dr. William Clayton, Virginia Clementine, Jacob Martin, Rachel Emma, Rev. John Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Edward, and Annie Lonettie. Many of her brothers migrated to West Texas and became farmers.

She married William Pinkney Phillips January 14, 1894 in Clark County Arkansas. Together they had five children: Alene Blanche (died at 2 years old), Willie Lee (died at birth), Doyle, Lois Isabelle (Bridgers), and Morgan Lawlis Phillips. William Phillips died February 28, 1906 and Alma later married Mateo Gatlin Winburn on December 1913 in Clark County, Arkansas. Together they had one child, Annie Katherine Winburn (Runyan). After M.G. Winburn died Alma ran a boarding house for many years in McGhee Arkansas. I believe it was on 2nd street. She was also a seamstress and she took in work for the community. She had a contract with Missouri Pacific Railroad for putting up their crews. McGehee was a turn-around from the north and south, so she stayed pretty busy. Information provided by Alma's grandson, Bill Runyan.
