I guess he bought the place from Uncle Floyd as I do not recall anyone else living there. They did not live there when I left home in 1968. Don't know when they bought the place. Maybe Floyd kept it a while after he moved to town. Here is Frank's obituary.
Frank W. Marr SR, 82, of Green forest, AR passed away Friday December 26, 2014. The son of Henry Hutton and Bernice (Bartlett) Marr was born in Rexford, Kansas on June 26, 1932.
