He is a lifetime resident of Scott County and participated in many phases
of community & county activities. He was Scott County Road foreman for

He was known far and wide for his "fiddling" and took part in many

His family consists of his wife, Marcene and two sons, Glenn and
Joseph. He has two brothers, Lewis of Waldron and Bethel of Mansfield;

We are happy to say Joe is feeling much better, and may many more
happy birthdays come his way.
