He is breaking up with Mattie, he should have married June. If he ever marries again, it will be to June after he has a business of his own. He asks her what she is going to do about Mike Warnash (his best friend), he thought she was going to marry Mike, Mike is crazy about her. And what about little Pete Green? June needs a place to stay. She won't be trouble like Mattie was. June writes him everyday and she gave him an expensive fountain pen. Tooter has been a sergeant for almost a month and didn't know it until a week ago. He got 43 letters in one day. June's sister, Louise, writes from Dallas.

He cannot say where he is, somewhere in the Philipines. He likes it better than New Guinea. He saw Robert in New Guinea.

He's waiting for a Filipino to bring him a roasted chicken.

Notes:

Reuben was a farmer (sharecropper) most of his adult life. Dad (George) says they moved around a lot, probably after 1940. From looking at census records, I believe they lived in the same place at least until the 1940 Census. I know Pete was born in a house near Uncle Lawrence's old place so this theory makes sense. At some point after the census, they moved to the Minden area where DeSanto Winfrey lived and Perkin and George became life-long friends with their honorary cousins.

In a letter from Ruben to Robert L. and Raymond George dated 8/3/41.
Ruben lives in Mt. Enterprise Robert & Raymond are in Colorado in a CC Camp.
He stayed all day with Uncle Lawrence (Armstrong) and Grandpa (Benjamin Armstrong). Grandpa is poorly. Got a letter from Tooter (Elzie D.) yesterday, he is out of hospital after 2-3 weeks. He has been in hospital before. Ruben got him a bunch of banties. He has been "disabled" for 9 weeks and can't do anything which doesn't set well with him.

Another letter dated 8/19/41
He got the pictures from them. Regrette? sold the Minden sawmill to the Threshs, Ruben will start nightwatching there Thursday. They moved the mill up the hill, but left the planer in its original location.
An added note dated 8/20/41 says he just heard that Grandpa died and will be buried tomorrow.

In his later years, Ruben was "blown up" when he turned on a stove and went to sleep on his couch. We are unsure if the fire went out or never came on but it eventually exploded, throwing a slighty singed Ruben, still on the couch, out into the yard.

Died:
Ruben went to pay a man some money he owned. Upon reaching the second floor apartment, he asked the man's wife if he could sit down for a minute. The woman was concerned and called down to Irene who had driven him. They got Ruben to the car and Irene took him to the hospital where he died.

Buried:
Ruben told his family he wanted to be buried at Maple Grove because of the nearby pond where he could go fishing.

Notes:

I don't know why her name changed from Neana to Neeley after her marriage. The census records name her Neana or Neanah with her parents but her descendants never knew her as anything but Neeley so I have named her Neeley Neana.

Notes:

Elijah's property, a perfect square, encompassed most of what is now Prairie Creek Park (the southern part up to about the campground and including part of the marina) and the northeast portion of the community of Prairie Creek. The northwest corner was along Summers Road just north of Grace Lane and the southern end of South Old Dutch Road points toward the southeast corner behind the lots in the cul de sac - this corner is still defined by present-day properties. The northwest corner is not as clearly defined now but included all the properties on the north side of Grace Lane. I believe Summers Road has claimed the tip of the corner. Remember that this lake wasn't present during Elijah's lifetime; the dam was constructed in 1960-1966. There are also patents for Jackson, Solomon (the younger?) and William (not Warfield?) in this township. Jackson's land (1889) includes Elijah's original homestead and the quarter just east of it (now mostly under water). Solomon's patent (1894) is the same as Elijah's original homestead. William's place (1875) was west of Bentonville along the western edge of the airport.

Elijah operated a cable ferry at the War Eagle Mill in Benton Co, Arkansas. He homesteaded 160 acres that is now partially covered by a man made lake just east of Rogers, AR.
Per the Rogers Democrat of August 14, 1907, Elijah died at 6 am on a Saturday.
Elijah is buried in the Grimes family cemetary with his father, Solomon, in Benton Co.

Elijah was married 4 times. He homesteaded 180 acres of land at Rogers, AR, where he raised four families. After his death, his last wife stayed on with her daughter and raised vegetables for sale. After Nancy died, the daughter married Elbert Williams. Their son Wateman Williams built a fine brick home and he and his wife lived there. A Betty Armstrong lived on the property at the time of this report. Elijah, his last 3 wives and children - Homer [Horace?] and Washie - are buried in the Grimes Cemetery near Rogers, AR. Source-war records, family Bibles, court records, and descendents. (Mildred Armstrong Gilman.)
