Randolph Wrightman Liles was the 4th of 11 children. He was married briefly to Daisy Starling and lived at the home place. Around 1951, Daisy left and Randolph continued to live at home. He had a special plate and glass that he used and his mama made sure no one used it. He would not eat hamburger.

He was wounded two times in the war and was at the Battle of the Bulge. Merrilyn Baker recalls one of his war stories: "Randolph was in the trenches and in heavy fighting. At some time during the night, whoever was firing at his position stopped. The next morning, Randolph crawled out and over to where the bullets were flying only to find a dead German soldier boy about 12 or 13 years old". The effects of the war were not easily overcome, only with the help of alcohol.

Randolph was living at the home place and went to change a light bulb on the back porch. He climbed a step ladder and tilted his head back, became dizzy, fell and broke his leg. When he was admitted and examined at the hospital, the found this his dizziness was caused by a brain tumor. He knew everyone and everything but could never understand that he had a brain tumor removed and why his leg wouldn't work. He stayed at the VA hospital in Durham and died approximately six months later.
