As you can see the Renfro relatives lived all around and, in addition to those listed
above there are hundreds more. I can not remember knowing any of them; not even
Aunt Sis (MISSOURI). I was only six years old when she died. I remember visiting
great grandpa FOY in Anson but do not recall anyone I met there.
The one Renfro whom some FOY might have met and known was Missouri’s son,
Robert Franklin Renfro. I think he is one of the men in the photo at the beginning of
this chapter and his son, Lowell, is the other man. Robert Franklin died in Abilene,
Texas in 1953. He died at Hendrick Memorial Hospital after an illness of two weeks.
He was a Mason and attended the Highland Park Baptist Chirch in Abilene. He was
buried with his parents in the Cowboy Cemetery in McCullock County, Texas.
Robert’s son, Lowell, lived at 1858 Jackson in Abilene. Robert’s four daughters were
Mrs. R.M. McMahan of Brady, Texas; Mrs. T.A. Brown of Ft Worth, Texas; Mrs. Otto
Schwiening of Roosevelt and Mrs Henry Drachenburg of Texas City, Texas.
Robert had two brothers living at the time of his death who would have also been
MISSOURI’s children. They were Oscar Renfro of Pawhuska, Oklahoma and John
Renfro of San Angelo, Texas. He had one sister living who was Mrs. Charlie Jackson
of Ft Worth, Texas.
This photograph was sent to me by several of the
Renfro researchers who all claimed it was a photo
passed on to them by one or more of MISSOURI’s
children. The people in the photo are identified
from left to right as:
John Clay Renfro ; Roxie Viola Renfro;
Effie Irene Renfro
Thomas Clay Renfro; Missouri Owens Foy
Renfro; Robert Franklin Renfro;
William Oscar Renfro
The two oldest children of Thomas and Missouri, Alice Elizabeth and Eddie (Edna) are
not in the photo. The little boy standing in front, Oscar, was born in 1888. Add
however old he is in the photo to that date and you will know when the photo was
taken.
