Mr. DePriest
Bobby Bennett’s dad was Heman Bennett. He had sisters named Fran and Wanda. Were you per chance serving on the U.S.S Lofberg in 1960?

My Dad was born in 1928 and was raised in Rochelle along with his 3 brothers and 3 sisters. His dads name was William Bruce and his mother Helen. I have enjoyed reading the entries on this site and seeing the old photos. I was to young to ever meet my grand parents. They were buried nearby in the cemetary at Georgetown.

My father was raised in Rochelle. His name was Lonzo Bruce. He took us out there a few times when I was a kid and he could remember just where everything used to be. I have always been interested in finding out mor about the town. Hi sister Mary Bruce Smith lived in Winfield and I had no idea that the saw mill there had been moved there from Rochelle. Most of my dads family including my grand parents are buried close by n the Georgetown Cemetary. Thanks for posting.

My mother Gussie Armstrong and father Herb DePriest met at the Salem School. My Grandfather Jack Armstrong was a foreman at the Salem mill.

I saw the train just after it hit the car. I was with my parents and GGParents on my GGP’s front porch when it happened and the sparks were flying every where. The cafe in Tullos was Stella’s Cafe and adjacent to the chev dealer. I remember the turn-around at the mill and the logs being placed in the pond near the trussel. My father took me to the locating of their house after Rochelle was gone and dug up two large piles of marbels he had buried there. I have been attempting to locate information about my uncle Ernest Bennett and his wife and children – last location was in Sheveport. Does anyone know if Bobby Bennett was also known as “BO”?

I saw the blog about Fred Bennett who was my Great Grandfather, Hal DePriest (also an electrician at the mill) was my Grandfather. I remember Rochelle as a small boy and the “Grand house” of my Great Grandparents. I also remember everyone moving to Joyce and enjoyed playing there with other people my age. I remember playing under the street lights at night. I am most interest in information regarding Bobby Bennett (BO?) and if his father was Ernest Bennett my Grandmother Gertrude’s brother and the son of Fred and Agness Bennett. I lived in Tullos and graduated from grade school there. We moved to Monroe in 1951 and I graduated from Neville High school in 1958.
