On the Missouri Census 1900 shows Charles Elwood Atkins Born 1889 in
Michigan. So was William Arthur not the youngest son of Samuel?
Bobby Atkins told me a Different story to how William Arthur hurt his
eye.
When William Arthur Atkins was a Young man he was in a poker game
and won alot of money. On his way home a unhappy looser hit him in the
eye with a rock. As the story goes they think it was Mary's grandfather,
Bobby's wife. Now he said that Janie was always a peace maker and just
might of made up the other story. ..........Who knows? It would be
interesting to find out.
