Individual Details

There was always a huge discussion in the family regarding K. M.'s middle name since he was always believed to be a 'Junior'. His Dad's middle name was Marcus - as on his delaying Arkansas birth certificate. K. M. thought it was Morris. Somewhere along the line, the spelling was thought to be Maurice.

The family moved into Van Buren for awhile and K.M. was born there; then they moved back to "Stony Point" at Uniontown.
