F Child 12: Ferne Evelyn Schell age: Living
Born: Living
Baptized:
Spouse: Orlia Smith b. 4 Oct 1912 d. 9 Mar 1994
Married:
Married Orlia Smith Preacher name Billy Sears. Mr Sears got Mrs Sears out of bed to be a witness to the union. Ferne also worked in the town of Gravette at the Plant: She canned tomatoes & beans. Ferne seem to half to have something to do always, when she wasn't attending her garden or cleaning house, she was sitting in her chair sowing quilts together. Not sure if she ever bought a dress, most often she would make them. If I had one thing that touch my heart more than anything about my grandmother I would have to say it was her kindness and how she let us kids just be kids. Oh how she shows us her love. To this day she prays for us all "How blessed it is to have a grandmother pray for her grandchildren". (written 2001)
As a Child Ferne said she played more with Dale and Les, she said that is why she could run faster than the other girls. Then she laugh with a sweet chuckle (written Oct 8th 2001) When Ferne was 5 she had tie-floyd fever - she had to learn to walk all over again, she remembers Dale (her brother) having it about the same time. She also had lock-jaw at sometime in her life. They had to run her to the hospital because of it. Ferne was baptized at the age of 11, but was re-baptized w/Orlia because she didn't feel like she knew what she was doing at the age of 11

When Dale died he lived in Colorado at the same time as Lester. When Lester got wind of them wanting to do an Ortopcee, on Dale he put a stop to it. So they never did find out how he died at such a early age.
