ELLIS CO HERITAGE, Vol. 1 has stories and pictures about the Joe B. Dearing and E. C. Dearing families. I would be happy to copy and send them to you. Pictures include one of Daisy and sons, Faus, Elgie and Ersel; Melba and Joe; Carolyn Dearing; and the Joe B. Dearing family.

Just a few weeks ago, Olive Dearing, wife of Troy, son of E.C. Dearing, son of A. N. (Dick) Dearing, died and was buried in Arnett. She was a good friend of my sister's.

The children of Joe B. Dearing listed are Elgie Dearing, Wheeler, Texas; Faus Dearing, Long Beach, CA; Ersel Dearing, Coalinga, CA; Okla McQuigg, Arnett, Oklahoma; Nellie Hixson, Vici, Oklahoma; Melba Bullard, Arnett, OK; Velma Murray, Pampa, Texas; and Merlyn Dearing, San Diego.

Hope this helps!
