On This Day - January 23

RECIL HERMAN HISE was born Janaury 23, 1901 to James Richard Hise (1874-1958) and Colista Smith (1877-1902,  in Logan County, Arkansas. His parents had moved to Arkansas from Marion county Tennessee. Recil was the middle of three boys. However his older brother died before Recil was born. Recil's mother died six weeks after the birth of her third son.  Recil's father remarried a year later. By 1910 Recil had a half sibling, another brother.

In 1918 Recil married Ola Garner. In 1920 they are renting in Logan County Arkansas and he is a farmer. Their first daughter is born in 1920 and followed by a second in 1923.  In 1930 Ola and the two girls are living with her parents in Arkansas. She is listed as married but Recil is not with her.  He is enumerated in Okalahoma City as a lodger and working as a salesman for a tailor company. There is also a Helen L Hise age 20 that indicates she was married at age 19.

In 1933 Recil's son, Lloyd Vance Hise, is born.  His mother is Merle Lahoma Horne. I haven't found a marriage record but they were divorced in 1938.  Recil is listed as a tailor and living at 1121 NW 11th St in Oklahoma city along with Merle and his daughter Magdalene in 1939.

The 1940 census has Recil as a loger in Oklahoma City working as a tailor in a tailor shop. It also indicates he is divorced. In  the 1942 directory he is living on 24th street with Nora. He is a tailor.  The same names appear on  his World War II registration and Nora is listed as his wife.

There is a 1950 marriage record for Recil and Lydia Mary/May  Maloney in Logan, Arkansas. She died in 1967.  In 1971 Recil marries Gladys Beulah Cook but that marriage ends in divorce in 1974 in Tulare, California.  Recil dies there in 1977. He is buried in Logan County, Arkansas beside Lydia May.

Recil is my husband's second cousin 2x removed.
