• Notes

  The following is written in the Lard book Jenks wrote about Augustusand Roma Lard. "Augustus" "Gus" Eugene Lard (1880-1924) was named for his uncle in Louisiana, Augustus James Lard. The name of his first wife was Romey, Romia, or Roma Waldrip (Waldrop) who was born in December of 1888 in Roswell, New Mexico.  Her marriage documents giver her name as Roma. conversely, the 1900 census lists her as Romia.  Her Parents wereJames and Allie Waldrop.  James Waldrop was a native of Texas.  In the 1900 census, a Dun (sic) Broach was enumerated as a boarder in thehousehold of James Waldrop.  Dunn would later become the husband of Romia'sfuture sister-in-law, Ada Lard.  Also listed in Waldrop's household were Romia's brothers and sisters. The siblings were, in chronologicalorder: William (son born August of 1883), Bussie (daughter-born November of 1885), Sylvester (son born October of 1891), Sidney (son born February of 1895) and Layis (sic) (daughter born November of 1898).  Themarriage of Romia and Augustus took place on April 27, 1905 and two children Ollie Mae and Grady were born to them.  Ollie Mae was born in Roswellin 1907, and Grady in 1911, probably after they had moved South ofHachita, New Mexico.  Romia is reported to have died in Douglas, Arizona on September 18, 1911.  Grady lived with his uncle John T. Jr. for a time after the death of his father.  Grady died at the age of thirten in 1924."  This is the same John T. Jr. that was my Cowpoke/grandfather.
