Arbell (Neal) Lumpkin

 
Arbell Lumpkin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 My GG-Arbell (Neal) Lumpkin, was born around 1897, in Mississippi (?).  Her father's name was Jim Neal (Neel?).  Jim Neal had three wives, and it's unclear who Arbell's  mother was, but there's some question of  Lettie Neal (Neel?)  being her mother. Arbell's younger sister was Leander (Neal) Turner.
 
Since I've never seen my granny Katie (Lumpkin) Gutter,
I've added this rose in hopes to one day replace it with a picture of her.

Alberta  Lumpkin....Doc and Arbell's daughter  
 (Katie's sister
