Members of the family, including children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, attended church services Sunday making a total of 45 in all.

C. Boyd, share a garden...Mr. and Mrs. Adkins also lived in Jasper, and in Jackson County, Oklahoma, always being engaged in farming and ranching and retiring in 1960."
