Notes:
The information on Marie's marriage to James Sousley came from a scrapbook records of an engagement shower for Marie. My mother told me the circumstance of this marriage. Marie's father disapproved of the marriage, but Marie threatened to run off if she was not allowed to get marriage. The marriage went forward but only last a brief time. Cause was alleged to be to James's drinking and beating of Marie. On Dec 16, 1941 James Franklin Sousley registered for the draft in Cooper County, Missouri. He was blue eyed with brown hair and light complexion. It was noted that he had scars on both sides and back. At the time he was working on Otto Bader's Farm near Pilot Grove, Missouri.

Ronald Friedrich “Ronnie” Thoma, age 51, of Jefferson City, Mo. passed away Sunday, September 12, 2021 at Jefferson City Manor following a hospital stay at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital.
Ronnie was born on February 1, 1970 in Palmerton, Pa., the son of Ronald Edward and Ellen Hoffman (Roeder) Thoma.
After moving to Jefferson City in 1970 with his family, Ronnie attended Goshorn School for the Handicapped, which is now called The Special Learning Center. He was a 1991 graduate of the Missouri School for the Blind in St. Louis, Mo.
Following graduation, Ronnie started his career at the Sheltered Workshop, now called Capitol Projects, in Jefferson City while residing at one of the Cole County Residential Service Group Homes. Ron enjoyed working with his hands either at Capitol Projects or stringing beads at home. He cherished the friendships he made at work and home.
Ronnie was a member of the Boy Scouts and was able to become an Eagle Scout through hard work. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Jefferson City and enjoyed being a participant in the Special Olympics.
Ron relished the time he spent with his family and friends and he will be remembered for his great sense of humor. He was always teasing family and friends to see them smile. He enjoyed listening and dancing to music at the group home, especially rock and roll. When he was younger, he attended Camp Sunshine and in recent years, he always looked forward to Camp Wonderland during the summers where he swam and spent time with friends. He never met a stranger and whenever he met someone, he always remembered their voice and name.
Survivors include: his parents, Ronald and Ellen Thoma of Jefferson City, Mo.; two sisters, Sue Ellen Beek (husband Ashtyn) of Marshalltown, Ia. and Michelle Thoma of Elysburg, Pa.; maternal grandmother, Edith M.
