Seeking Parents of Amanda "Moody", "Sis" Moody Humphreys of AR.

Hi, Humphreys Relatives,

My name is Wally Caviness of Bellingham, Washington and I am seeking the parents of my great grandmother Amanda Moody Humphreys wife of Francis Marion Humphreys of the Mammonth Springs, Arkansas area on the Spring River.

Amanda might be her middle name and Sarah might be her surname as my greatmothers name (her daughter) is Sarah Etta Mae Humphreys Evans.

Amanda was born in 1854 and died in 1939. She married Francis Marion Humphreys on 24 Oct. 1875 in Rowuoka Township, Randolph Co. AR.

Both are buried in the Shilo Cem., 15 miles south of Mammoth Springs, AR on Hwy.289. Their daughter Sarah Humphreys Evans and their grandson Perry Evans b. 1902-1904(Sarah's son) are buried next to them. I had a paranormal experience after visiting the tombstones in Oct. of 2005.

Amanda and Francis had four children, Sarah Etta Mae, Leila, Arch and Crow.

Sarah Etta Mae Humphreys was born 12 May 1884 and died 10 Nov. 1909. She married Robert Wiley Evans who was b. 22 Aug., 1879 and died 31 Oct. 1947 in San Bernardino, CA.

I just recently came in contact with the daughter and granddaughter of Arch Humphreys. They are Bonnie Bolding of Midwest City, Oklahoma and her daughter Carol Shambour.

Erma Humphreys, a great niece of Francis Marion Humphrey wrote a book titled DOWN ON THE FARM in 1976. She mentions her Francis and Amanda "SiS" on pages 18 and 19. There is a picture of Francis and Amanda in the index. Amanda is smoking her corncob pipe.

I would appreciate any information you can send me.

Wally,

Your Washington State Cuzin
