The Foree family resided for many years in the old historic
Kaes antebellum landmark home which is now endangered:  http://carrollscorner.net/Endangered_Antebellum_Landmark_Home.htm

To the left was the kitchen.  His brother Ralph lived there too.  Ralph had a wooden leg.  He cut his foot while swimming  in the river, it got infected & his leg had to be amputated.  Ralph had his room upstairs & would take his wooden leg off at night to sleep.   Rudy took the room downstairs in case anyone ever broke into the house he would be better able to fend off intruders. Off & on over the years other Foree relatives lived in the house too.

Rudy worked for many years for General Motors without missing a day of work. Even when the tractor turned over on him & crushed his foot he still didn’t miss any work.  In 1986 Rudy married Pearl Martin Ziock.  They resided in Cadet, Washington County, Missouri.  Rudy passed away in April 1997 & is buried in Potosi, Missouri.

*The census listing gives Francis' age as 85 so I checked the original & it does state his age as 85. Believe this is probably in error.  Probably should be 38.

1920 Census - So far I have been unable to find the Francis Marion/ Marion Francis Fore/Foree family in the 1920 census.

1930 St. Louis County census the Foree family was living in Meramec Township.Francis Foree's age is given as 58 which puts his birthdate as 1872. Birthplace: Missouri.  Lurissa's age is 36 putting her birthyear as 1894. Their children are listed as:
Ruby age 15
Mary 14
Maxine 11
Ralph 9
August 4 3/12
James 1 11/12

LOURISSA BARROW FOREE - It is said that Laurissa was always a happy outgoing person. It would be interesting if Lurissa turned out to be related to Clyde Barrow of Bonnie & Clyde fame. The Foree family did raise a relative by the name of Clyde Barrow but it is not known if he was THE Clyde Barrow.  I was told that other relatives wondered the same thing & when they would ask Lurissa if the Clyde that she raised was the gangster she would never answer them but would just start crying.     Lurissa died in the house in 1973 when she choked on a piece of apple. It took the ambulance 45 minutes to get to the house then she was conveyed to County Hospital where she was pronounced.

Social Security Death Index - SSN: 490-28-8225 Last Residence: 63078 Saint Clair, Franklin, Missouri, [I have to wonder about this address as family members state that Lurissa died at the Kaes House in St. Louis County] United States Born: 29 Mar 1894 Died: Dec 1973 State (Year) SSN issued: Missouri (Before 1951 )

From Ancestry.com:  Lurissa parents are given as Robert R. Barrow & Elizana J. Mitchell
Her grandparents are given as: John Howe Barrow & Caroline ? & Reese Mitchell & Martha Brock.

1900 Census - Dent County - Missouri - Watkins Township
Robert F. Barrow born September 1859, age  40 birthplace Mississippi, birthplace of father Alabama, birthplace of mother S. Carolina.
Elzana - wife - (age 37) born September 1862, birthplace Missouri
Ferdnand born June 1883
?Gender? E. born August 1884, age 16
?Thomas? age 10
James W. born 1891
Lourissa born March 1894
Gilbert born Jan 1897.
It gives the number of years that Robert & Elzana were married as 12 ~ this would put their marriage year at 1888. So the first two children must have been by Robert & a previous wife.   For Elzana it states that she is the mother of seven children four of whom are living.The possibility of a connection to the gangster Clyde Barrow is looking more promising since gangster Clyde's parents were both born in Alabama as was Rudy's gr. grandfather.
