The Mineola, Wood County, newspaper Obit after the September 20, 1953 Matagorda County death of Reo Clayton KLINGAMAN mentions only Reo's step- father, the late Al PAISLEY. Reo was the son of John Orien "Jerry O." Klingaman and Agnes TORK who married and may have divorced in Iowa. It appears Agnes then married Al Paisley while still in Iowa. The Klingamans and Paisleys traveled back and forth between Iowa and Texas in the early 1920's. Reo Klingaman married Ethel Matilda PATRICK June 13, 1926 in Golden, Wood Co., Texas; their only child, Billie Ruth Klingaman, was born November 16, 1927 in Golden. In later years, Billie Ruth stated that after they married, Agnes and Al Paisley were known as "Big Al & Little Al." and Billie's children have no memory of ever having known them; only that their grandmother was always referred to as "Grandma Al." Of particular interest is the date/location of the death/buriel of Agnes Tork Klingaman Paisley and Al Paisley, who both probably passed away between 1940-1953 in the vicinity of Mineola. They are not listed in the Sand Springs Cemetery Survey.

My father, R(only) T(only) BELLO(A)MY, was born in Wood County 10/1/1896 and died in Harris County 12/17/1979. His family lived South of Winnsboro in Stout. He married Murtis (sp) ?. They had five children Talmadge, Herrol, Elwanna, Doris and a son who died, according to my knowledge, at age 9. Herrol and Elwanna are still living. I was told that my father added to his initials the name, Ralph Truman. He and his first wife moved to Dallas but divorced in the early 1930's. I have been told that he legally changed the spelling of his last name from BELLOMY to BELLAMY after the divorce. He had a number of siblings, but I only know the first names of these; Maurie, Jack, Homer and Omer (twins - boy and girl), Sarah, Mary, and Margaret. He told me I was named for my Aunt Sarah, but he loved all his sisters. He and my mother, Viola Osalee FITZGIBBONS (born Grimes County 10/10/1909), married in the early 1930's and had four children, all of whom are living: Patsy Ann, Madison County 9/3/1932; Barbara Jean, Cherokee County 1/19/1937; Sara Beth, Harris County 6/14/1939; and Ralph, Jr., Harris County 8/20/1940. There are many gaps in my knowledge of his family and the reliability of the info obtained from my family members, so I would like to know about his parents, their parents and his siblings.
