  Father	Robert Cecil McDaniel,   b. 19 Mar 1915, Six Mile Community, Sabine County, Texas d. 23 Nov 2005, Longview, Gregg County, Texas (Age 90 years)
  Mother	Loye Winona White,   b. 30 Oct 1919, Sabine County, Texas d. 4 Dec 2002, San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas (Age 83 years)
  Marriage	4 Mar 1942	Bronson, Sabine County, Texas   [1, 2]
  	In his autobiography, Robert Cecil McDaniel writes that while stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, he "obtained a three-day pass, and went home by Greyhound bus. On the following day, Loye and I went to a doctor in San Augustine, and obtained the necessary blood test required before marriage. (The doctor performed this test free because I was in uniform). We then purchased our marriage license in the County Clerk's office in San Augusitne and were married at 11 a.m. on March 4, 1942, by Pastor Noel Hammock, a Baptist minister in his home in Bronson, Texas. The only witness was his wife. Pastor Hammock was an old friend who had been raised in the Bayou Community. As we were leaving Loye's home to get married, I officially notified her parents. Of course they were expecting it, for I imagine that Loye had already broken the news privately." He added that Mr. White called Loye aside and gave her a signed, blank check and told her to buy "whatever she needed." Loye recalled that she bought a pair of hose and a white slip and that the check was filled out for $4.95. Not many parents these days can lose a daughter, or gain a son-in-law, for that price.
