Eula Mae Stancil, the third of Stephen and Ronia's children, was born July 7, 1918.

Eula attended Moore Schoolhouse for a couple of years. There was no bus, she walked to school.

Eula had Ronia's sewing machine.

Eula worked for five years in a Middlesex factory that made pajamas. Then she worked in a Wilson clothing store.

Eula had one son Kenneth Harold Stancil, born December 24, 1939, in Johnston County, North Carolina. His father is recorded as Stephen Stancil on his second marriage certificate and his Social Security file, but others said it was Herbert Nevell Pittman (March 19, 1918 Johnston, NC-July 19, 1958 Hopewell City, VA).

Kenneth attended school in Glendale through 11th grade. Then he went to work in packing and processing plant for pigs.

Kenneth had breathing problems and finally required oxygen. Kenneth stayed with Eula for many years. He visited the beach as often as he could.

Eula died on December 25, 2006. Kenneth died about five months later on May 14, 2007, in Johnston County. They are both buried in the New Jerusalem Free Will Baptist Church Cemetery in Kenly.
