Additional Information about Joe Duagan Reynolds & Lillar/Lillian/Lelia Potts

On September 3, 1927 Joe married Lillar Potts in Fouke, Miller County, Arkansas. Joe Duagan stated on the marriage license that he was 20, however, by the date indicated, he was only 18. Lillar Potts age is listed as 18. It is said that she had a huge crush on Joe and at dances would only dance with him. I believe they had a set of twins, a boy and a girl.

Joe would never talk about this marriage, so everything is just hear say. It is said that very shortly after their birth that their mother took some lunch to Joe while he was working in the field. While they were eating they saw smoke coming from the direction of the house and when they ran to it, it was totally engulfed in flames. Joe ran for help and left Lillar there, but when he returned he found that both of the twins died and then his wife committed suicide by jumping off of a cliff or a bridge that was in the back of their house. I was told once that he was drunk the night he got married and when he woke up next to his wife and found out what happened the only thing he could say is "Daddy is really going to be mad". Shortly after her death, Joe left his parents in Arkansas and moved back to Titus County, Texas.
