Notes for Russel Hugh Boyd: Rhonda and Russ never had any children. Two children of Rhonda's siblings were named after them. The first son of Orville Lee Jenkins was Orville Boyd, and the only daughter of Arthur Carthel (Bud) Jenkins was LaRhonda.
They lived in Amarillo, Texas, for years. From my earliest childhood till Rhonda's death in 1963, this is where they were. Our family visited them at times in Amarillo. Amarillo, in Potter County, was about a 5-hour drive west of our home in Quanah, Hardeman County. We would also see them in family gatherings at the home of Rhonda's father and mother, my grandparents, Joe and Jennie Jenkins, in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
When Rhonda was sick with cancer, she was being treated in Dallas, Texas, where she died in 1963. Russ buried her in Chillicothe, Missouri, his former home area.
Chillicothe is presumed as Russ' place of death, though this has not been objectively confirmed. Social Security death index gives no place of death. I have not been able to find a registry for cemeteries in the Chillicothe area.
