known her.

Name = Rose Mary Stout
Comments = Carolie was such a wonderful person and friend to me.  It was such a joy to see her and
visit with her.  I remember her telling about an experience at the farm south of Cherokee.  The
extended family was there and the girls decided to "hide out" in the barn.  But Uncle Loyd knew where
they were, and began pitching rotten eggs through the hay loft window.  With his arm, he was way too
accurate!  The girls cleared out in a hurry!
 Love and sympathy to the family.

activities.
