Notes

[1] Searcy County, Arkansas, not to be confused with the city of Searcy in White County, Arkansas. Veda’s memorial on Find A Grave made that mistake.

[2] Veda’s parents were William Guthrie Rains and Eva Elizabeth Bohannon. Eva was the daughter of Daniel Arthur Bohannon and Ada Barnes. Daniel was the son of William Cornelius Bohannon, Sr., who was my 2x great grandfather. That makes Veda my second cousin once removed through the Bohannon side of the family.
