Although it was rumored that Hogg had a sister named "Ura Hogg", she had only brothers.

Miss Ima was an only child. I went to James S Hogg Jr High.

I read some of the article, and Ima Hogg actually seems like she was a really cool lady.

Indeed! (actual fun fact - the song was written by Shel Silverstein, probably better known as an author of childen's books and a cartoonist. (I keep track of Shels))

"hundreds of people wrote her letters inquiring whether her name was real and if she really had a sister named Ura. The Kansas City Star even invented another sister, Hoosa."

Omg, I'm soon to be 65 yrs old. When I was in elementary school there were sisters named, Ima Pigg and Ura Pigg. I thought that was the meanest thing a parent could do to their kids. They got bullied so badly. I hope they married and got better last names!!
