A diner near me had a pic of Jerru Tucker (autographed, IIRC) on its wall for some time; I had no idea why, since he was a somewhat peripheral Rascal. Turns out he lived nearby, on Long Island's South Shore, for decades. He died recently, though.

If anyone has information on Jackie Horner I would love to know as she may very well be the little girl with the doll in Laurel and Hardy's "Saps at Sea"

I was going through the lordheath site, going at random between actors and films and wondering how feasible it would be to include a photo of every actor in every film, and stumbled upon Hugh Binyon who was credited with playing one of the members of the 3rd Street Bunch in "Fightin' Fools." That site and IMdb say he was born April 15, 1932, with no date of death. IMdb also says he was in two more uncredited roles. Theluckycorner also has Hugh Binyon listed, but you have to go through the Wayback Machine to find it. So it looks like there may be an addition to the list. I didn't find a death notice anywhere online, but I'm not an expert at that sort of thing.
Wikipedia now says Dorothy Morrison (Green) passed away October 18, 2017.

I know Scooter Lowry isn't on the list because no one has any confirmed info about him since the 1950's and he'd be over a 100 years old now, but I see IMDb now has him dying in Florida in 1989. Which could be true, but they also have his name wrong. It's listed as Elmer Cairns Lowry Jr., which isn't correct. It's confirmed through his draft records that his name was Elmer Camden Lowry. Camden having been a paternal uncle who died at age 10.
There are a fair number of articles about his father Willard in the Chattanooga newspapers in the 30's and 40's. Seems like he had a lot of problems and after his death, Scooter (by then in the military) and his sister Lila contested his will in about 1941. They argued Willard suffered from mental illness and had been duped out of money by the beneficiary of his will, and should have been worth 100k at the time of his death. Wonder how that worked out for them.
Scooter's sister's married name was Bangs and according to the 1940 census, she had a daughter named Barbara Bangs who would be 81 today if still alive. As she probably has a married name or two, I'm not sure where this info would lead, but the 1950 census, due out in 2 years, should provide the names of any other nieces and nephews who may be able to confirm once and for all what happened to Elmer.

Annie Ross has been in poor health and under hospice care. They are in desperate need of funds to continue to help her from home and are running out of money fast. Ask that everyone donate and share the link to her GoFundMe page. gf.me/u/yacfjk |
