Asa and Sinia

Arthur and Opal had two children, Arthur Asa Bethell and Sinia Belle Bethell. Asa's date of birth, given by Opal on his death certificate, was 07 Jul 1894. Sinia was not sure of her date of birth. She thought it was 11 Oct 1893, but according to census records, and other records we have found, it was more likely 1896. Accounts given to us by Arthur William's nephew, John Pinckney Bethell, indicate that Arthur left Opal and the children in Memphis, TN.
