Dorothy was born on August 26, 1924 in Boston, Texas to Charles Lindsey Mendenhall (1881-1947) and Lulu Mae Cramer (1890-1978). As far as I know, she was an only child. 

In 1965, Dorothy married Jack York Garrard Jr. (1918-2002) and I don't think they had children. 

Dorothy died on May 19, 1994 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at the age of 69.

At the age of 25, Dorothy married Guy Green McDaniel (1905-1978) on August 13, 1949 in Carter, Oklahoma. Together, they had 4 children: Richard, Danny, Ann and Guy. 

On June 26, 2007, Dorothy died at the age of 83. She is buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas.

Lee was born on June 13, 1924 in Alvord, Texas to Riley Frederick Mendenhall (1901-1969) and Winnie Piece (1901-1993). He was an only child. 

Lee went by Elwood and also by Ben Hall. For 65 years of his life, he was a recording engineer for the music industry. 

Elwood married Kathryn Dena Darden "Dena" and together, they had two children: Monty and Kookie. Elwood died on July 6, 2010 at the age of 86 years old. 




~Betty Mae Mendenhall- 5th cousin, 4x removed 



Betty was born on September 3, 1924 in Forth Worth, Texas to Thurman Richard Mendenhall (1900-1939) and Myrtle Mae Knapp (1901-1955). She had one brother who died as an infant in 1922. 

On September 22, 1950, Betty married Billy Ray Perdue (1927-2003). I know they had children based on their tombstone, but I couldn't find any names in any records.

Betty Mae died on September 20, 1998 at the age of 74. She is buried in the Memorial Park Cemetery in Bastrop, Louisiana with her husband.
