Elizabeth attended Oklahoma A&M in Stillwater for a year before being 
united in marriage to Case Bunch in August of 1937 in Carlsbad, New 
Mexico. The couple made their initial home in Hobbs, New Mexico and 
then moved frequently throughout the next twenty-eight years as Mr. 
Bunch was employed by the Gulf Oil Company and relocated as needed by 
his company. The couple had two sons, Steven and Bruce. In 1967, they

Elizabeth worked as a retail sales clerk at Sears and Broadway, two
