Cora and Richard had eight children

- four sons

Richard Wayne, born 21 June 1935 in Ore City, Upshur, Texas (1) - died 7 Dec. 2005 in Dallas, Dallas, TX;
Billie Ray, born 18 Dec. 1937, Harrison, Texas (2) - died 6 Feb. 2017 in Murchison, Henderson County, TX;
Marvin, born in 1939;
Kenneth Neal, born 13 Nov. 1943, Dallas, Dallas, TX (3), died 30 Sept. 1999 in Seagoville, Dallas County, Texas;

- four daughters

Sarah Ladell, born 18 July 1940 in Upshur, TX (4), died 7 Nov. 2007 in Dallas, Dallas, TX;
Wanda Lajean, born 10 Nov. 1942 in Upshur, TX (5), died Nov 7 2007, Dallas, TX;
Carolyn Sue;
Patricia Gay.

In 1959, the family moved to Dallas. I assume it was that year because in Dallas they lived at 8317 Greenmound Ave (7,8).  The house in which they lived was built in 1959.

Cora's husband Richard passed in DOA Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on 22 May 1976. He was sixty-one years old when died from the cerebrovascular disease caused by hypertension (6).

I do not know where Richard worked when they moved from Upshur to Dallas.

Cora Belle lived about six years longer than her husband. She died on 25 July 1982 in Baylor Medical Center in Dallas due to complications after the bypass surgery she had gone through (7).

Cora and Richard were buried at Grove Hill Memorial Park in Dallas, TX

Unfortunately, we do not have photographs of aunt Cora Belle and her immediate family.
