Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on Robert Elmer "Buster" or "bester"
Carlock. He is my mother's father. My mother is Lillian Lucille (Carlock) Paul.
Robert Carlock born about 1905 in Illinois age 28 resident of East Prairie, MO is listed
as the father on my mother's birth certificate. He married Leona Wade Sides in
Arkansas or Missouri on 19th August 1932 or 33. My mother was born 27 Jan 1934 in East
Prairie, MO. I only have the birth certificate and a few letters from relatives that
state he came to see my mother only 3 times after she was born and sent about $20.00 a
week for a little while, he asked to come to visit my great Aunt Lillie Belle Bright's
house and never came. She heard he was killed by a tree.
I would like to connect with relatives and learn more on this side of the family. No one
has ever talked about him and my mother knows nothing of him. My grandmother remarried in
1936 so I am not sure if he died before that or they were divorced.
Thank you,
Carrol (Paul) Mick
