Oh Ye of little faith

As I remember it, Ulys Kay's parents were Eb and Mamie Smith.  That is b as in bee, not d as in dee.

Everett L. Smith

Birth:	Aug. 7, 1908 Arkansas, USA
Death:	Jun. 14, 1989 Arkansas, USA
Services for Everett L. (Ebb) Smith, 80, of Alpena, were held Saturday, June 17, at 10 a.m. at the Nelson Chapel in Green Forest with the Rev .Dean Smith and the Rev. Keith Butler officiating. Burial was in the Roscoe Cemetery under the direction of Nelson Funeral Service. Mr. Smith, a son of Benton and Mellie (Bell) Smith, was born August 7, 1908 in Osage, and died Wednesday, June 14 in Berryville. He was a farmer. He and Ruth (Vowell) Smith were married August 10, 1933. She preceded him in death. He is survived by three sons, E.B. Smith of Alpena, Ulys K. Smith of the Rudd Community and Everett L. (Butch) Smith of Alpena; one step-son Jack Hale of Worth, Germany; one step-daughter, Wilma Harrington of Green Forest; four grandchildren, Jackie Don Harrington, Sandra K. Harrington Bradley, Kevin Smith, and Greg Smith; five great grandchildren; one sister, Gladys Blevins of Blue Eye; several other relatives and a host of friends. He is also preceded in death by two brothers, Jack and Ernest Smith and an infant brother, one sister, Pearl Blevins and one infant daughter, Eloise.

So, Wilma Harrington was Wilma Hale, half sister to Ulys Kay Smith.  Their mother was Ruth Vowell, sister to Earl Vowell, the school teacher.  In 1940, Wilma and Jack Hale are living with their grandparents, Mack and Bessie Vowell, so maybe they never actually lived in the Smith household.

Now, I have a puzzle.  Was Ebb Smith's wife called Mamie even though her name was Ruth, or was Mamie another neighbor of Grandma and Grandpa Powell? Mamie Rodenbeck?  Mamie Horn???
