Fred Leroy Alsup ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

Leroy was an avid fisherman. I remember him taking me to the White River in the days they were building the dam. He drove a truck in the summer and he was laid off in the winter. Consequently, Leroy would spend winters in Phoenix, with our family, or sometimes winters in Oregon, with his sister, Joann. We always looked forward to having him stay with us, because he paid so much attention to me and my siblings.

  Noted events in his life were:

• He has alternate birth information of 1926. ⁴

Fred married Audrey Hall in 1956 in Mount Vernon, MO.¹ The marriage ended in divorce. (Audrey Hall was born on 9 November 1911 ¹ and died on 20 January 1981 in Saint Joseph, MO ¹.)

Fred next married Louise Cantrell, daughter of Harry Cantrell and Effie Mae Pendergrass, in 1979 in Tulsa, OK.¹ (Louise Cantrell was born on 12 October 1925 in Aurora, MO,¹ died on 27 February 2005 in Tulsa, OK ¹ and was buried on 3 March 2005.)

  Marriage Notes:

Leroy reunited with Louise Cantrell, a widow. She was a former school classmate. She wrote him a letter and they subsequently hooked up. Leroy then moved from Mt Vernon, Mo to Tulsa to marry Louise. I remember these later days were quite happy for Leroy. Unfortunately, in a few short years, he had a heart attack. He had bypass surgery in a Tulsa hospital, and we thought he was going to make it. A couple of days after the surgery, Leroy died. Leroy was dearly loved by all the nephews and nieces on all sides of the family, and we were all saddened by his passing.
