The Ogles are grand parents of Allen Cleveland and the King's are his great grand parents.
My Uncle George Morrison Ogle, husband of Dixie Pell served in WW II. He was on a bomber crew who flew 30 missions over Europe. His name is listed on the monument in front of the Fisher court house as one who returned. There are 2 monuments there. It appears the 2nd was placed after it was discovered that some names had been missed when the first one was erected.
The King's came to Texas from Tennessee in 1888 in a covered wagon when my grandmother was 5 years old. She remembered the trip. She and my Grandfather married in East Texas, farmed in Bowie County and moved to Rotan in 1921.
