Willie was supposedly a half-sister to Betty Morse, Samuel's wife. She died young of a miscarriage.

Charlie only stayed there a short time for in 1916 he returned to his old home in Arkansas. His brother Milton had died by that time and his brother Samuel was a cotton buyer and carpenter. Samuel had bought Milton's land after his death and in 1917 bought Charlie's land also. This re-united the parcel of land that their father had divided between his three sons.
