Joe Ray Garner, Sr. and Lola Ruth Deering Garner


Joe Ray Garner, Sr. and Lola Ruth Deering Garner

It is unclear who Joe Ray's parents were, maybe John and Ellen Garner of Pike County, Arkansas, but it's not certain.  Joe Ray doesn't seem to be closely related, if at all, to the very large Garner Family of Amity, Arkansas.

Lola Ruth was the daughter of Levi Edward Deering and Emma Elizabeth "Lizzie" Cox Deering of Amity.  Levi Deering was originally from Henry County, Georgia, but moved to Amity at a young age and married Lizzie there in 1885.

Lizzie Cox was the daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca Cox of Pickens County, Georgia, who moved to Arkansas and are the progenitors of a large Cox Family which is spread throughout Clark and Pike Counties.

Deering Family:
Back Row: Jeannie, Georgia, Homer, Martha
Middle Row: Martha, Levi, Lizzie, Lola Ruth, Becky
Front Row: Warner
