Gandy and Ed,
Remember me? I'm Floyd's granddaughter....
From what I have been able to piece together....
Eula Mae Calhoun was born 22 Feb 1902 in Paris, Texas.
She married Homer Duke (30 June 1903-died 6 Oct 1925) Homer Duke is the brother of Zula
Mae Duke who married Clarence Calhoun (Eula's brother) They had two children, Margaret
and Arthur(who may have been shot in OK in 1980 by a police officer). She then married
Errett T Fender on July 16th, 1928. Per the 1930 census, Errett T Finder, Eula and son
Errett (born in 1929) where living in Holton (County?), Tillman (Township?), Oklahoma. I
have yet to find any concrete evidence of Eula or Clarence's parents. I have heard
though that their is Indian hertiage on Eula's side of the family...perhaps we
aren't looking in the right places...per family rumors I understand that it is
possible that Eula has 1/2 Indian, or that her mother may have been 1/2 Indian....I'll
give you guys a holler if I discover anything else out...meanwhile back to searching for
the roots of our elusive grandmother Eula!
