Notes for Thelma Frances Caudill
Her obituary in the Rowan County News of March 16, 1961 read “Final services for Mrs. Thelma (Caudill) Barker, 58, will be conducted this (Thursday) morning at 10 o'clock in First Church of God in Morehead followed by burial in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens.
Mrs. Barker passed away Tuesday morning [March 14, 1961]. She was born Oct. 20, 1902 in Morgan County, daughter of the late Samuel M. Caudill and Lucinda (Blair) Caudill. Her mother, who has been ill for some months, survives. Her father was one of Morehead's pioneer builders and prominent business men.
Immediate survivors are her husband, John L. Barker; a son, William Litton, Paintsville; and two daughters, Mrs. Virginia Schrader, Covington, and Mrs. Louella Carter, Circleville, O. She also leaves a brother, Roy C. Caudill, cashier of the People's Bank of Morehead; and three sisters, Mrs. Virgie Elam and Mrs. Anna Clay, of Morehead, and Mrs. Gladys Haggard, Winchester. There are nine grandchildren; a step-daughter, and three step-sons.
Mrs. Barker was a devout and active member of the Church of God. Reverends John Conley and Stanley Caudill will officiate at this morning's funeral. Arrangements are being cared for by Stucky-McBrayer Funeral Home.”

Notes for Roy & Thelma Frances (Family)
Roy and Thelma apparently divorced sometime after 1930, but before Roy Jr. was killed in WW II, since the casualty report identified his next of kin as Mrs. John L. Barker, mother.
