No symlinks.

So I deleted the whole public_html directory.  Re moved the files over.  
I went back to the default user_dir setup of:

<Directory "/home/*/public_html">
     AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
     Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
     Require method GET POST OPTIONS
</Directory>

Restarted httpd and tried again.  I get my ~/public_html/index.html to 
display, cannot get a directory list to display.  I can display a file.  
If I list a specific jpg in one of the directories it comes up ok, but I 
am not getting the listing option.

access_log:

192.168.160.12 - - [27/Dec/2016:16:53:00 -0500] "GET

error_log:

[Tue Dec 27 16:53:08.858042 2016] [negotiation:error] [pid 1965] 
(13)Permission denied: [client 192.168.160.12:55644] AH00686: cannot 
read directory for multi: /home/rgm/public_html/cubieboard/


So I have the permissions right to retrieve files.  Something is wrong 
for displaying the directory list.

:(
