Carson, here is a picture of Clyde, Jewel, Othella, and Aunt Bell. I have another one when they were kids but I think this one you would prefer to see and relate to.

Hello Bill, Thank you for your input and the picture. I have seen this picture before, I believe my memaw and pepaw had it or my Aunt Alice has it. It's amazing how much family I have and never even met or heard about before I came across the website that Tom Smith put together. I talked to my aunt and she was unaware of any of this but finds it very interesting as well as I. I'll tell you a little about myself. Currently my wife, children and I live in Amarillo, Tx. I have worked for Xcel Energy for about 16 years. I am the son of Clyde Soapes Jr., who passed away on July 30, 1991 at the age of 55. I am 41 years old, as of today, but who's counting. Again, I just want to express my thanks for the e-mails. If there is anything else you would like to know about this part of the family I will gladly be honored to oblige what I know. How are we kin if Jesse A. Soapes was my great-granddad and Mother Bell was my great-grandmother? Is the Soapes name German? I have talked to a Lady from South East Tx., don't have her name handy, who we are kin to who did a lot of research and the name comes from Soape. The s on the end was added later and comes from Prussia, which is now I beliave part of Germany
Hope to here from you soon, God be with you
