| 1) We have copies of Charles's WWI and
WWII draft registration cards.
2) From the granddaughter of Charles Elmer Andis - Arlena (Andis) Coffman: "Martha Ellen died at age two of "summer sickness". I think it was diarrhea, but grandpa said lots of babies caught it back then. He kept a photo of her in his old trunk and would let me look at it sometimes. He also had a little girl's bonnet and coat that he had ordered from the catalog but she died before it arrived. He would let me touch it sometimes." 3) From the granddaughter of Charles Elmer Andis - Arlena (Andis) Coffman: The Andis's loved to play music, and I remember many a summer's evening when we would all sit in the back yard, and they would gather around and pick and sing. My Dad (Charles Edgar Andis) played the banjo, and we still have it today. It is beautiful with mother-of-pearl inlay on the back. Grandpa (Charles Elmer) played the fiddle and sometimes the "tater bug" which was a mandolin that had stripes on the back like the potato bugs that infested our garden. I was fascinated by it. Uncle Cude (Clarence Clurage) also played the tater bug, and often, cousin Dwight Andis would join in. He was great on the banjo, too. Bob Andis was often there. I don't remember what he played, but it was probably the guitar. I remember just sitting and listening in the night air. Before I was born, another person sometimes joined them. She went to school with my Dad and later went further with her music. Her name was Ramona Riggins who later married Grandpa Jones. They became the famous Grandpa and Ramona on Hee-Haw. My cousin said her mother remembers that whenever an Andis would hit a wrong note Ramona would cringe. I only remember meeting her once, but I was very young. They moved to Nashville shortly after that, but we were at Uncle Bob and Aunt Eva's and she and Grandpa Jones were there. They played some music with Dad and Bob and then the men went frog gigging all night long. I was about 4 or 5 and tried to stay up the whole night but fell asleep before they got home. 4) We have a copy of Charles and Mary's marriage application and marriage record. 5) We have a copy of the divorce complaint for Charles and Mary. 6) Charles's Social Security record. 7) We have obituary, death certificate and record of death for Charles; cause of death: coronary thrombosis.
