He worked for Workman Plastering for over 30 years doing stucco construction work on most of the shopping malls in Rogers, Fayetteville, Springdale and Harrison.

Joe and Mary Ann Warren Ingram were married Nov. 6, 1954, in Reno, Nev., and started their lives together in Brentwood, Ore. He worked as a logger in the Redwood Forest.

The couple moved to Rogers in April 1955, settling east of Rogers in what is now Prairie Creek.
