(McQueen) Puckett, was born May 1 1915, near Leesville. She obtained all her 
elementary training at the Shady Grove School near her home. At an early age, she 
professed an urgent desire to become a teacher. She rode horseback four miles to 
high school at Coal and often walked when it was very cold. The junior and senior 
year's high school training was obtained at Clinton High School, graduating in 
1933. As she had taken teacher training, she received a certificate and taught 
Turner Rural School and the following term. She taught a total of 10 years at the 
following schools; Turner, Shady Grove, Logan and Mound Springs. She often made 
the statement, "Those were 10 very good years in my life." May 8, 1940, Harry

Kevin (birth date removed), and Leslie William, born October 5, 1946. They 
worked hard on their farm south of Coal to provide an education for their sons. 
Then the Kaysinger Dam and Reservoir Project caused an involuntary sale of the 
farm on March 19, 1969. They then moved to a small farm near Ballard, where 
they remained until their health failed. She had much illness and some surgery 
but always tried to be thankful when she was on her feet. She is survived by one 
son, Kevin Udo, Kansas City; two grandchildren, Christopher Udo and Jeanette Udo, 
and one great-grandson. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry, on
