When Alice “Christine” Thompson (she used her middle name) was born on June 10, 1905, in Lawrence, Mississippi, her father, Ransom, was 48, and her mother, Susan “Sudie” Arabella Spurlock Thompson, was 43. I believe that she was the youngest of 8 children.

She married (wedding date unknown) Eugene Ludlow Barnes and had three sons with him. She died on January 20, 1994, in Pascagoula, Mississippi, at the age of 88, and was buried in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43359840/alice-christine-barnes

Her second son Thompson Eugene “Genie” was born on August 27, 1935 and tragically died at age 12, in Mississippi. Her third son Arthur “Dale” (he used his middle name)  was born on July 18, 1942, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
