- From findagrave.com:
Lottie Lucille (Jennings) Wynne was born January 12, 1913, in Crittenden Camden, Missouri to Arthur Bell Jennings (1888-1957) and Lettie Ann Hollcroft (1888-1949). Lottie was third born of seven children, two girls and five boys.
Later the family moved to Oklahoma City, OK , where Arthur had a succession of jobs: Ford Motor Company, Iten Biscuit Company, Wilson & Company, and Fraizer's Water Well Drilling Company. In the early 1930's Arthur bought a farm near Pauls Valley, OK, where he engaged in farming and water well drilling.
When Lottie was 14 years old in 1927 her mother, Lettie, gave her five dollars to go to Texas to find work. She caught a ride from Oklahoma City with a man and a women and wound up in Wichita Falls, Texas, where the Salvation Army found her a job in a garment factory at $17 per week. Here she met Olvis Minter from Pine Forest TX. They married and had two children: Thomas (1931) and Betty (1935).
In 1935 Lottie and Olvis were divorced. Betty lived with her mother and Thomas lived with his father. Lottie and daughter Betty returned to Oklahoma City.
Back in Oklahoma City Lottie found work at Wilson and Company. In 1946 she attended Beauty School, and obtained a license to practice cosmetology in Oklahoma. From then until the 1970"s she operated her own Beauty Shop. During this period of her life she married William "Bill" Wynne in 1963, who died not long after
In 1969 she bought lake front property in eastern Oklahoma on Lake Eufaula, a man-made lake that was completed in 1964. She moved there permanently in 1977. She attended the First Christian Church In Eufaula, Oklahoma, and was active in the "Friendly Lake Eufaula Area Supporters" (FLEAS) for many years. A generous woman, while at Lake Eufaula, Lottie kept and cared for two teenage Chinese girls for a period of time. Throughout her life she was independent and self-supportive. One time when she was in her late eighties in discussing her finances, she said, "I may just go to Tulsa and get a job."
