I saw your post. My mother was probably the Nettie Bell Channell. I always knew her name
as Betty Sue. I do remember her saying they called her Nettie Bell. Aunt Bessie died in
the 1970's..Uncle Lee Frank in 1999. There were suppose to be 12 kids to this family.
I have a 1920 census that lists some of the kids. Your Estelle is on it. This census lists
Frank as Frank R...and Lottie as Sharlie E.(?)
I remember uncle Harvey. He had Parkinson's. Mama is buried in Fairhope, Ala (Colony
Cemetery)..Frank, Lottie and Uncle Lee are all buried next to each other in Pate Cemetery,
Buhl, Alabama.
Aunt Bessie died in Mississippi. I also found this:
R. Frank Channell
Death Date: Apr 1924
County: Tuscaloosa
Volume:19
Role: 2
Page #: 9510
If my memory is right...and it may NOT be...it was my understanding Uncle Lee was born the
same year his father died.
Lee Frank Channell
b. April 11, 1924
d. May 26, 1999
So I think I'm on the right track. I'm not sure that's an "R" in
Frank's name...it also looks like an "H".
There was also a daughter named Ressie.

I met Aunt Ressie ONCE. She came to Fairhope when I was real little. I don't remember
her face. But remember that our birth month and day was the same. And I remember she was
sweet!
"Lottie" as I knew of her by (Charlotte Eliz.) died sometime after 1948. Mama
& daddy married in 1948...and I remember mama saying how much Grandma Lottie liked
daddy. She must have died before I was born (1959)...I can't find anything on her.
Uncle Lee Frank was crosseyed...but honey...he was a sweetie and a half. I think he ended
up dying of kidney disease. I have some more stuff I can share with you.
