        On July 12, 2004 Penny received a note from Don Willyard. According to Penny, " Don
        says that while going through some of his mother's pictures he found a copy of the
        Viola Store picture (same as the photo below). On the back, in his mother's
        handwriting, is the following. "Viola store when owned by Grant McKee and where
        Lawrence worked as a boy." No date.  Lawrence was Don Willyard's father, and the
        Grant McKee ( Ulysses Grant McKee born Oct. 27, 1869 in Missouri,  died December 16,
        1961, in Barry County, Missouri and buried at the Viola Cemetery, Viola, Barry,
        Missouri) would be his Dad's Uncle. (Note: Lawrence was Mrs. Garland's brother)"
