Acheson<\/sa> has risen to his present position as chief engineer of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, at Dallas, Texas, are illustrative of the opportunities lying open to the men of progress and action in the great Southwest. Opportunity, however, waits on fitness and capacity, and it is interesting to note the wondrous selection in the sifting out of the fittest from the mass of common material that crowds all avenues of railroad work. Mr. Acheson has risen from a humble position in the field of civil engineering by his own unaided exertions, through capacity and merit, to a high place calling for the exercise of foresight and judgment, and to the management of an important branch of an important transportation line. Mr. Acheson was born at Washington, Washington county, Pennsylvania, July 20, 1858, and is a son of James C. and Mary E. (Mahon) Acheson.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Acheson was reared and received his early education in the historic town of Washington, situated on what was before the days of railroads the old National Highway, which ran from Cumberland, Maryland, to Wheeling, West Virginia. He attended the Washington and Jefferson College, where he took up the study of civil engineering, and during his leisure hours received his early business training in his father's mercantile establishment at Washington. Mr. Acheson was graduated from college in 1879, with the degree of Civil Engineer, and at once embarked upon the practice of his profession in the employ of the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad. Subsequently, he entered the services of the New York, West Shore & Buffalo Railroad, where he was employed in the construction department, and at a later date was engaged with the Pennsylvania Railroad and the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad. In 1889 Mr. Acheson came to Denison, Texas, as assistant engineer of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, with which he has been connected to the present time. He came to Dallas in 1895, as resident engineer of the road, and in 1906 was considered the logical man for the position of division superintendent, an office which he held until 1909. In that year he became chief engineer of the M. K. & T. for \"Texas Lines\" and in November, 1912, was promoted to the responsible position of chief engineer of maintenance for the entire road. As a railroad man Mr. Acheson has become known throughout the entire Southwest. The duties and responsibilities of the positions he has held have demanded his entire attention, and he has had neither the time nor the inclination to seek political preferment. He has, however, taken the interest that every good citizen should feel in matters pertaining to the welfare of his adopted place, and his influence has been felt in movements making for progress along all lines. His fraternal connection has been with the Masons, where he has reached the Chapter degree, and he also holds membership in the Phi Kappa Psi, with which he became connected during his college days.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn December 6, 1894, Mr. Acheson was united in marriage with Miss Alice Brown Hanna, daughter of Samuel Hanna, of Denison, an early pioneer of that place and a member of the grocery house of Hanna Platter & Company. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Acheson: Alexander M. Jr., and Sam Hanna. The pleasant family home is situated in Hishland Park.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":16,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Sarah C.

Its early population was made up of stock raisers, farmers and freighters who brought supplies in to the early settlers. Up along the Red River there were plantations. There were several of these of various sizes. These homes were not the often-pictured fine plantation homes but usually were two story cabins, later plank wood. The most ostentatious was \"Glen Eden\", which was located near where Preston Point is today. Pottsboro was named for the Potts family who had an early plantation in the same area. Many African-American families have the surname of Potts in their family tree. Fannin County also had many plantations and the early African-American families of Grayson County often can trace their roots to these families.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBy the 1870's Denison, Sherman, Van Alstyne, Whitesboro and Whitewright all had areas of town set aside for \"negro' neighborhoods\". These show up sometimes in the town plats. <sa>The Plat Book<\/sa> is online.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOften this included a business street or two containing African-American owned businesses, banks and even hospitals. These would grow and prosper until the horrible conditions of the 1920s and 1930s, when riots and KKK activity were at their height. These business districts broke up and the economy of them was ruined.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe golden age of railroading and commerce with factories, though, had been built up fast after the 1880s, and the railroads were in full use. This pulled more population into Grayson County and all of the railroad towns expanded greatly. Many African-American citizens moved away from the farm at this time, seeking an easier life. Besides the doctors, lawyers, dentists and bankers who held high positions in the African-American communities, the position of railroad conductor was held in high esteem. There were lots of railroad jobs of all kinds, making the cities a popular place to move for the able bodied.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhole neighborhoods of upper middle class rose up for the first time where formerly only a few African-American families were considered middle class.

Aldridge, the second son of Edward Aldridge, was born in Georgia, March  7, 1840, and there spent the days of his boyhood and youth. After arriving at years of maturity he was married to Miss Texan Bryant, whose birth occurred in Georgia, February 8, 1845. Her parents were Gains and Mary (Pertle) Bryant, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of Georgia. They were married in Georgia, where Mr. Bryant followed the carpenter's trade and also had farming interests. He had a wide and favorable acquaintance in the locality where he made his home and in later life he removed to Tennessee, where he died. His wife was a daughter of Jacob Pertle, a well known farmer and slave owner of Georgia, in which state his death occurred. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Pertle there were nine children, as follows: Gains, Olmstead, Shade, Stephen, James, William, Lucy A., Betsy A., and Lodusta. The children of Gaines Bryant were: Elijah, a minister of the Christian church; Jacob, Stephen, William, Alonzo, Elizabeth, Mary A., Texan, who became Mrs. Aldridge, and Mrs. Lodusta Kiker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"indent\">After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Aldridge they began their domestic life in Georgia, where he followed the blacksmith's trade that he had learned in early manhood. At the time of the Civil War he joined the Confederate Army and served faithfully for four years, meeting the usual experiences, hardships and exposures incident to a soldier's life. He continued to follow his trade until 1869, when he removed to Texas and settled in Grayson county, where he purchased a farm, on which he lived for two years. He then sold that property and bought land at Red River station, after which he followed blacksmithing and also improved his land, but on account of hostile indians he remained for but one year. He then sold out and took up his abode in Hopkins county, where he remised one crop and worked at his trade.<\/p> \r\n<p class=\"indent\"> In 1874 he removed to Saint Jo, where he purchased land and made a permanent home. Abandoning blacksmithing, he gave his entire attention to farming and stock raising, purchasing at first a small tract of land to which he afterward added as his financial resources increased until his holdings embraced thirteen hundred and twenty acres. He made a good selection and his is the finest farm in the vicinity of Saint Jo. Excellent improvements were placed upon the property, a good residence and substantial barns and outbuildings were erected and substantial barns and outbuildings were erected and the latest improved machinery was added. There is an excellent water supply upon the place and Mr. Aldridge engaged in raising, feeding, handling and shipping cattle. He placed six hundred acres of his land under a high state of cultivation and produced the various crops best adapted to soil and climate. He established two tenant houses on his place, also rented some land and became known as a most prosperous, extensive and successful farmer and stockman, recognized by all as a broad-minded, intelligent businessman and good financier. He owed his success to his energy, determination and indefatigable diligence and thus he  created a large estate. The uprising and hostility of the Indians delayed his permanent settlement for two or three years and occasioned him much uneasiness in the early days, but he was in one of the fights with the red men. He assisted materially, however, in the reclamation of his portion of the state for the purposes of civilization and as the years went by his labors proved a valued factor in the development of the county. In politics he was a strong Democrat but without aspiration for office, never desiring political preferment as a reward for party fealty. He was a consistent and worthy member of the Christian church, in which he served as deacon for many years  and in the work of which he took a helpful interest. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"indent\">After many years devoted to business he determined to spend the evening of his life in ease and comfort and removed to Saint Jo. Soon afterward he became ill with smallpox, which occasioned his death March 28, 1901. He is yet kindly remembered by his many friends, who greatly miss him. His wife yet survives and resides upon the old homestead farm. This worthy couple were the parents of ten children: Jacob, who died in childhood; S.J. of this review; John, who is living in the Indian Territory; Leonard H., who is represented elsewhere in this volume; Samuel, who died in 1898; Mrs. Myrtle Hillman; Mrs. Alba Varney; Ernest, who died in 1892; Mrs. Ord Davis; and Robert, who is living upon the old homestead farm.

Some records indicate that he was born in 1840 in Ohio, but his tombstone in Texas says he was born in 1838. The 1850 census listed a Horace Alexander, age 10, living in Townsend, Huron County, Ohio, with the family of Nehemiah and Elenor Ferrand Ordway. Nehemiah, at 62, listed no profession.\r\n~\r\nAt age 22, Horace enlisted in the Union army at Hannibal, Missouri, in 1863. He was an unmarried engineer.  On Christmas Day of 1864, he married Elizabeth Ann \"Annie\" Lomax (1846\u20131941) in Linn County, Missouri. Two years later, they paid taxes in Brookfield, Linn County.\r\n~\r\nBy 1876, the couple had moved to Denison, Texas, where they lived on the north side of Crawford Street, between Burnet and Fannin Avenues. The City Directory listed Horace as a master mechanic with the MK&T Railroad. In 1880, the Census gave his occupation as a railroad machinist. His oldest son, Frank E. Alexander, then 13, was employed as a printer. The family was living on Gandy Street.\r\n~\r\nA major change took place in the next seven years, for the 1887 City Directory listed Horace as a partner with William A. Tibbs (1833\u20141907) in Tibbs & Alexander, real estate, house renting and collecting agents, at 328 West Main Street. The Alexander family lived at 517 West Gandy for nearly two decades. Tibbs was a notary public living at 903 West Main, and the partnership was short-lived. In 1891, Horace's firm was called H. Alexander & Company, and he had a new partner, Samuel Tyler. The office had moved a few doors east to 316-1\/2 West Main. An advertisement emphasized: \"Make a specialty of renting houses and collecting rents.\"\r\n~\r\nHis wife, Cora, was also a native of Collinsville, daughter of William Jones who came to Collinsville in 1860.Alexander continued to move his office around in downtown Denison. In 1901, he was offering \"real estate, loans, notary public\" at 104 North Burnett Avenue, where his youngest child, Horace Guy Alexander (1884\u20131946), was a clerk.\r\n~\r\nIn 1903, the office was at 218 West Main. Guy now was a letter carrier. Horace and Annie had left Gandy Street to live at 818 West Bond. Shortly they moved next door to 816, then settled down across the street at 820 West Bond. The real estate office shifted to 204 West Main by 1905. Guy went to work as a bookkeeper for J. H. Gardner & Company.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center*300*alexander_security_bldg.jpg*Security Building<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nBy 1909, Horace Alexander was nearing age 70 and had moved to an upscale location in the Security Building at 331 West Main Street. A book published that year depicted the building with this caption: \"Bank of Brooks, Bass & Johnston ... Real Estate Office of H. Alexander, Side Entrance.\" Presumably the outside entrance helped accommodate the stream of renters bringing their payments. The 1909 City Directory gave his office address as 302 Security Building.\r\n~\r\nOffice of Horace Alexander at side entrance.\r\nSource of photo: 331 West Main St. (Security Building). \"Bank of Brooks, Bass & Johnston.\r\nFinancial Responsibility, Quarter of a Million Dollars. Real Estate Office of H [Horace] Alexander, Side Entrance.\"In Robinson, Frank M., comp. Industrial Denison. [N.p.]: Means-Moore Co., [ca. 1901]. Page 92.\r\n~\r\nFollowing Horace's death, Annie played a key role in preserving a notable sculpture in Fairview Cemetery. Known as \"The Forgotten Soldier,\" the statue, according to the City of Denison's website, was originally dedicated to the memory of those Union Veterans of the American Civil War who were members of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.). This organization was comprised of those who served the Federal cause during that most painful time in United States history. With the sponsorship of the Nathaniel Lyon Post #5 of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Woman's Relief Corps (the auxiliary of the G.A.R.), the monument was erected in 1906 by the A. P. Chamberlain Company. The base is manufactured from native limestone, and the statue was probably purchased from one of several manufacturers who produced such images for the G.A.R. during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Many Union veterans chose to settle in Denison when railroads were built south to Texas. Moreover, in 1860, Grayson County was one of ten Texas counties voting to remain in the Union rather than join the Confederate cause.\r\n~\r\nThe files of Fairview Cemetery record that the monument was ceded into perpetual care in 1923, with the fees for such being paid for by one Elizabeth Alexander, a relative of Horace Alexander. The website states, \"It is surmised that Ms. Alexander was the daughter of Brother Alexander, since his wife is buried beside him and is named Anna.\" However, we now know that his wife was indeed named Elizabeth, as well as Anna. Perhaps, following Horace's death in 1920, she wanted to commemorate his service for the Union during the Civil War. Both he and she were recipients of a pension based on that service.\r\n~\r\nThe Alexanders' youngest child, Horace Guy Alexander, had gone to work in Wichita Falls, Texas, as manager of an adjustment company. Then he moved to Highland Park in Dallas, where he gave his occupation in 1940 as \"state agent\" but also said he was a \"wage or salary worker in private work.\" He had completed two years of high school. His wife's name was Effie. He died in 1946 and was buried near his parents in Denison, at Fairview Cemetery.\r\n\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":965,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fam","art_title":"Pinkney Columbus 'P.C.'

Late in the evening, he was conductor on a westbound train pulling into Mesquite, Texas. Sam Bass and several members of his gang had captured the station agent and jumped aboard the engine as it pulled into the station. A gunfight ensued, with Jule, <q>a crusty Civil War veteran,<\/q> bravely defending the passengers and getting shot in the wrist in the process. Though one account said he was <q>disabled for life,<\/q> he actually recovered, but newspapers blazed lengthy accounts of the train heist across the nation. When Alvord died in 1899, the Houston Post did not mention the train robbery, but other papers mentioned little else.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPerhaps the brush with death gave Rule a new perspective. In January 1879, when friends considered him <q>a confirmed old bachelor,<\/q> Jule married a much younger REBECCA PORTER <q>Ree<\/q> TURNER (born January 30, 1858, probably in Wapello County, Iowa) in Fort Worth. Her younger brother, E. P. Turner, became general passenger and ticket agent of the Texas and Pacific by 1899. They had two daughters\u2014 ~ Nora E. Alvord and Evelyn Alvord (Mrs. Clarence C.) Dickson\u2014 and a son, Eldon T. Alvord.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_bio_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<h5>WELL KNOWN RAILROADER DIED AT HIS HOME IN FORT WORTH<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>Fort Worth, Texas, February 28 - Captain Jules Alvord died at noon today of congestion of the brain at his home in this city.

He lived a few childhood years in Weatherford, Texas, grew up in Dallas, and attended the University of Texas in Austin. He was called from there to take the entrance exam for the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and was accepted. He graduated as a Naval Officer in 1901. He married Miss Berenice Platter of Denison, Texas, and the couple was blessed with two children, a son Adolphus Jr. and a daughter Frances W. Andrews.<\/p>\r\n<p>During his long and illustrious career that spanned World Wars I and II, VADM Andrews was the Naval Aide to four Presidents, commanded ships ranging from a tugboat to battleships, and was the youngest Captain in the Navy at the end of World War I. He ended his military career as the Commandant of the Third Naval District and Eastern Sea Frontier. He retired from the Navy on 11 November 1943.<\/p>\r\n<p>Left to mourn his passing and cherish his memory were his loving wife and children. He rests next to her. Many papers, newspaper clippings, and photos illustrating VADM Andrews' career were given to the Denison Public library, Denison, Texas, and are readily available for review.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_bio_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"paper\">Dallas Morning News<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paperDate\">June 20, 1948<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>The three-starred flag of Vice-Admiral Adolphus Andrews, the Dallas man who ran the Navy's war against Nazi subs on the Atlantic Coast, was struck forever Saturday. He died in the U. S. Naval Hospital at Houston.<\/p>\r\n<p>Death came after a long illness to the handsome, 69-year-old man who had been naval aide to three United States Presidents. When Adolphus Andrews entered Annapolis, he was the youngest midshipman in his class. At 38, he was the youngest captain in the Navy. He had held almost every high Navy post except Chief of Naval Operations.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since retiring because of age in 1943, he had headed the Andrews Investment Company in Dallas and the Waples-Platter Company of Texas. He held a dozen other important business directorates.<\/p>\r\n<p>When he retired, Adolphus Andrews had served the Navy for forty-eight years, although he hadn't aimed at a naval career in the first place. He wanted to go to Yale, but when he was graduated from Oak Cliff High School he was only 15, and his father decided he was too young to go East, so the boy went to the University of Texas in Austin. While there, he got a telegram from his father to come home and take a competitive exam for appointment to the naval academy.\r\n<p><q><i>I didn't even know where Annapolis was,<\/i><\/q> Andrews recalled later. He packed a set of books and intended to study for the examination on the train. After awhile, he became bored and decided to throw the whole thing over. He had a biography of Andrew Jackson with him, and spent the rest of the evening reading it. When he took the examination, he found that the first question was a detailed one about Andrew Jackson. Young Andrews got the appointment and finished Annapolis in 1901.<\/p>\r\n<p>For a time, he served aboard the U.S.S. Dolphin, a yacht assigned to the Secretary of the Navy, and at the White House under President Theodore Roosevelt as junior naval aide. He asked and got in 1908 command of a river gunboat, the U.S.S. Villalobos, on the China station where reputations were made or broken in those chaotic days.<\/p>\r\n<p>By 1918, he was the youngest captain in the Navy and commanding officer of the battleship Massachusetts. By 1931, he was chief of staff of the Naval War College. By 1934, he was chief of staff of the United State's fleet. He became chief of the important Bureau of Navigation, now the Bureau of Naval Personnel, in 1935, and a vice-admiral and commander of the fleet scouting force, with seventeen heavy cruisers, thirty other ships, 200 flying boats, and 50,000 men under him, in 1938.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the meantime, he had been naval aide to Prince Axel of Denmark during the latter's visit to the United States in World War I days. He was commander of the Presidential yacht, the Mayflower, and senior naval aide to Presidents Harding and Coolidge. He represented the United States at the Geneva Preparatory Commission on the Limitation of Armaments in 1926 and 1927.<\/p>\r\n<p>From 1929 to 1931, Andrews was commanding officer of the U.S.S. Texas, the battleship which now rests in the Houston ship channel. When World War II came, Andrews was old for a combat command. He took charge, nevertheless, of the Eastern Sea Frontier with headquarters in New York and started to fight the German submarine fleet with \"about three planes, some small craft, and a lot of fine but inexperienced men from Cornell.\"<\/p>\r\n<p>He earned there the Distinguished Service Medal.<\/p>\r\n<p>After he retired in 1943, he headed the manpower survey board of the Navy and was a member of the Pearl Harbor Court of Inquiry. In June 1945, he went to the Pacific and stayed for almost a year as Red Cross Commissioner.<\/p>\r\n<p>At the time of his death, he was a director of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway, the Texas Bank & Trust Company, the Kansas City Wholesale Grocery Company of Kansas City, Mo., and the Bird Shankle Corporation of San Antonio.<\/p>\r\n<p>He was a member of the New York City University Club, the Dallas Downtown Club, the Fort Worth Club, the Alibi Club, and the Metropolitan Club and Chevy Chase Country Clubs of Washington, D.C.<\/p>\r\n<p>He is survived by his wife, the former Berenice [sic] W. Platter of Denison; a daughter, Mrs. Frances A. Dillingham of Honolulu, T. H.; a son, Adolphus Andrews Jr. of Fort Worth; and three grandchildren.<\/p>\r\n<p>Berenice Waples Platter Andrews graduated from Walnut Hill School in Natick, Massachusetts. She married Vice-Admiral Adolphus Andrews, commander of the U.S. Navy's Third Naval District during World War II. They had two children: Adolphus Andrews Jr., a San Francisco socialite; and Frances Andrews Dillingham of Honolulu, Hawaii. After retiring in 1943, Admiral Andrews became president of the Waples-Platter Company. He died in 1948, a year after Berenice's mother, Fannie. There is some question about his burial place. One Find-A-Grave memorial places him in Fairview Cemetery, Denison, alongside Berenice. Another places him in Oak Cliff Cemetery in Dallas, next to the grave of his father.<p>\r\n<p>Following her husband's death, Berenice lived in Denison for decades at her parents' former home at 1129 West Sears Street. She died on January 7, 1992, at the age of 103.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6 col-xs-offset-3\">\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Michael C.

Main St. location in 1919. Bill Ashburn Jr. and H. C. Ashburn bought into the company and eventually purchased Martin's interest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The company began it's expansion program in 1928 with the Ft. Worth creamery. The Ashburn's ice cream and creamery business continued to expand until plants were located in Denison, Sherman, Dallas, Ft.

It was the understanding that this location would eventually be managed by Harrell Ashburn Jr. In 1940, Lawrence began looking for other opportunities for personal satisfaction and advancement. He purchased a cafe across the street from Polytech Junior College in Ft. Worth. After a period of time, Bill Jr. talked to Martin.

During the Depression the family moved to Houston, where her father became a salesman. When she was a young college senior, she went to work in a home for delinquent girls and her life hasn't been the same since.<\/p>\r\n<p>She told a Houston reporter she saw a part of life in that home that she had only read about in sociology books.  Life there was so different from the life Rose Mary, now 55, had experienced with her loving family, that she felt compelled to do something to help these young women. That was in 1954 and for the last 39 years she has devoted her life in helping society's castoffs. While so many people may have thoughts of helping others, Ms. Badami has actually done something about it without thought of gain for herself.<\/p>\r\n<p>Money has never been important to her and she lives modestly in Houston in the house she and her parents shared until their deaths in 1982.  As director of Magnificat House Inc., she draws no salary, only enough to meet her needs, which are small.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Magnificat House is a non-profit network of 11 shelters for the homeless she founded in 1968.  She also operates the Loaves and Fishes soup kitchen and is planning to open a center for abused children soon.<\/p>\r\n<p>Many of the people she shelters are former mental patients released from hospitals but with no place to go.<\/p>\r\n<p>There are many in Denison who remember the hard times of the Depression years.  Being a railroad town and the railroad being the only mode of transportation for many of these \"down on their luck\" persons who didn't have a job, home or food to eat, there are many here who remember the hungry going through the neighborhood asking for meals.\r\n<p>Some of these people were willing to work for their meals and others were constantly moving, trying to find something to hold onto.  Some people made a practice of leaving plates of food on the back porch for any hungry traveler to eat.<\/p>\r\n<p>But Ms. Badami's grandmother would invite the homeless in, sit them down and feed them.  Once, when her family protested, the grandmother said, \"They get just as hungry as you do.\" These thoughts stuck in Ms. Badami's mind and she could never stand to see anyone hungry.  \r\n<p>Her family wanted her to be a laboratory technician, but tests showed she had an aptitude for social work.<\/p>\r\n<p>After graduating from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in sociology, she was employed as a social worker and later as a teacher for retarded children.  But over the years, the desire to help the really \"down and out\" persisted and in 1964 she opened her first home for girls in reformatories and prisons.<\/p>\r\n<p>The home was called the Sancta Maria Hotel and she operated it until 1967.  Then using her own money, she opened the first Magnificat House in January 1968 with beds for 8 women. Then seeing the need for more and more help, she opened 4 soup kitchens in downtown Houston in 1970.  The Loaves and Fishes, only kitchen operating today, feeds many of Houston's \"street people\" with food donated by downtown restaurants, food stores and federal programs. This is one person who is doing her share for humanity and we're happy to say she received her inspiration to help others right here in Denison.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":28,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"2nd Lt.

Eileen Badgett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Badgett, 218 West Heron, who spent a year in an army station hospital in Australia.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA severe cut on the left hand, suffered in the accidental breaking of a medicine bottle, sent the Denison girl back to the States early this month.  Now a convalescing patient at Ashburn General Hospital at McKinney, Lt. Badgett spent the week-end with her parents here.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nEnlisting as an army nurse in April, 1941, Lt. Badgett spent two years on general duty in this county and went overseas in September, 1943.  She was with an evacuation unit, headed for service close to the front, but the outfit was assigned to detached service at the Australian station hospital where the Denisonian remained until returning to the States\r\n<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<h5>SOLDIER GOOD PATIENTS<\/h5>\r\n<p>\"The American boys not only are good fighters - they're also good patients,\" Lt. Badgett says of the many soldiers and marines she administered to while serving in the hospital surgery department.  \"They don't worry much about their injuries and keep in high spirits.\"\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLt. Badgett said that the marines especially, most of them very young, were a carefree lot at the hospital.  She described them as \"chipper little fellows\".\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAfter treatment the wounded were to the United States.  Lt. Badgett said that coming home meant so much to the men that they didn't find time to worry about their injuries.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn the boat bringing the Denisonian home were a number of Australian brides of American servicemen, many of them with young babies.  She described the Australian women as \"nice girls\" and agreed that Australian wives for American soldiers \"are all right if they want them.\"<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<h5>BORN IN ENGLAND<\/h5>\r\n<p>Even before World War II, Lt. Badgett had something of an international background.  She was born in Hull, England, after her father, an American sailor during World War I, married an English girl.  The family came to Denison when Eileen was a small child.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAfter graduating from Denison High School in 1937, Lt. Badgett entered nurse's training at St. Joseph's Hospital, Fort Worth. where she graduated in 1940.  She became an army nurse eight months before Pearl Harbor.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLt. Badgett trained at Ft. Wolters and spent five months with the troops in the field during the Louisiana maneuvers.  Even after oversea duty, she still winces at the memory of the field maneuvers\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAt Camp Barkeley, the nurses went through commando training along with the men preparatory to going overseas.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nShe still remembers her first patient in Australia, a Negro soldier who had been burned severely in a gasoline explosion., who finally returned to the States after much skin grafting and the amputation of a leg.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLt.

He came to Texas in 1871 and was employed by the Fort Worth & Denver Railroad Company in the construction department. In the latter part of that year he settled in the northern section of Grayson county, Texas, about five miles from Denison, and established a ferry on the Red river between the Chickasaw Nation and Texas, operated on the old time cable system. Mr. Baer has since conducted this ferry and receives the following rate: twenty-five cents for a team, twenty cents for a single horse and man. He pays five hundred dollars per year to the Chickasaw Nations for the exclusive right to operate the ferry. He also owns three hundred and eighty-eight acres of land which he purchased when he came to the county and this he rents, it being devoted to the raising of cotton and corn. While working on the railroad in Missouri as a brakeman he lost his right leg just below the knee through an accident and has been thus somewhat handicapped, but has made excellent success in his business.\r\n<\/p><br>\r\n<p class=\"paper\">B.

D., successfully engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Denison, was born in West Virginia in 1851, a son of Silas P. and Lydia (Housted) Bailey, who were likewise natives of West Virginia. The father followed farming there throughout his entire life and died in the year 1889 at the age of seventy-three years, while his wife passed away in 1861 when about thirty-eight years of age. In their family were seven children, of whom four are living: Elizabeth; James E., a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. D. H., of this review; and Thomas M., who followed the occupation of farming in West Virginia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Bailey acquired his more advanced literary education in the state university of Michigan at Ann Arbor and afterward prepared for practice of medicine in the medical department of the University of Ohio at Cincinnati, from which he was graduated in the class of 1876. The day of graduation was the 3rd of March and on the 15th of that month he located for practice in Salem, West Virginia, where he remained for five years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He then came to Denison on the 7th of March, 1881, and has for almost a quarter of a century been engaged in the practice of his profession in this city. For some years he also conducted a drug store, and he has been identified with the National Bank of Denison as a director for a number of years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his profession he is well versed, keeping abreast with the best thinking men that represent the medical fraternity. He is familiar with the progress that has been made during the years that have passed since his graduation, and he is quick to adopt new methods that promise to be of practical value in the healing art. Yet he is not hasty in discarding old and time-tried practices whose worth have been proven. He is very careful in the diagnosis of a case and is seldom at error in matters of judgment concerning anything that bears upon his professional duties.<\/p>\r\n <\/p><p> \r\n<p>Politically Dr. Bailey is independent, while fraternally he is connected with the Masonic order, in which he has attained the Knight Templar degree. He is held in high esteem both professionally and socially and is today one of the valued and representative men of Denison.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**bailey_sign.jpeg*Bailey & Howard Drug Store<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"paper\">Herald Democrat<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paperDate\">June 7, 1998<br>\r\nby Judge R.

He worked as a teacher, blacksmith, and agent for packet boats and stage lines, traveling from New York to Kansas and other states. He married twice. In 1852, Floyd and his family headed for Hawaii. They traveled down the Mississippi by boat to New Orleans, then to Panama, San Francisco, and Hawaii, where they arrived in June 1853. Floyd was appointed crown attorney and clerk of the district court of the Hawaiian Islands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1855, the Bakers returned to the U.S. and settled in Andrew County, Missouri, where Floyd remained until 1860, engaged in farming and land speculation. By 1863, the family had moved to Topeka, Kansas. He had purchased an interest in the Kansas State Record and was affiliated with the paper until 1871, when he retired.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1871, Floyd went to Denison, Texas, where (with Dr. George A. Cutler) he established the new town's first newspaper, the Denison Journal. In 1873-75, he held the office of postmaster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Back home in Kansas around 1875, Floyd assumed control of the Topeka Commonwealth. As its editor-in-chief and publisher, he used its pages to influence Republican Party politics and promote its causes and to become an active force in the Kansas Editors and Publishers Association; through the latter organization, he helped organize the Kansas State Historical Society (1875). A busy and engaged man, Baker\u2019s was a life in full motion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1878, Floyd was Assistant Commissioner to the World's Fair in Paris, France, where he made a report on the subject of forestry. While in Europe, he visited Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Ireland, and Scotland. Next he was appointed as a commissioner of the Foresters' Bureau of the federal Agricultural Department. Assigned duty in the Mississippi Valley, he went west to the Rocky Mountains. There he advocated for establishment of a government agency to manage forest resources, \u2014a dream that was realized twenty years later.

But it turned out my information on Merle was not quite correct. But I still had the songs so it was alright.<\/q><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Baker quit the Katy but returned later to work in the corporate offices in Dallas. <q><i>I was wearing a suit and tie and everything but it just wasn't for me.

Now she has received national attention after composing \"Antebellum Reflections Suite,\" that was performed by both the Ft. Worth Civic Orchestra and the Arlington Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">She received praise for this composition from Hugo Florat, conductor of the New York Ballet, and composer Marvin Hamlisch.  This is quite an honor for the former Denisonian who has finally \"made it\" after much hard work and study.\r\n<p class\"indent\">\"Music has been running around in my head ever since I can remember,\" Marsha said in a recent interview at the country home of her mother, Mrs. Frank Banner, west of Denison.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Mrs. Banner said Marsha was composing at a very early age.  One day she recalled hearing the violin as she and Mr. Banner arrived home.  (Mrs. Banner played but no one else in the family did.)  When they opened the door they found Marsha actually playing a tune (left handed, no less) but a tune.  When asked what she was playing Marsha said, \"I don't know, it's in my head.\"\r\nHer mother added that when Marsha was sent to piano lessons she wouldn't show.  Actually she would go but not inside because after learning the basics Marsha didn't like the practice tunes so she wouldn't practice.  Instead she sat outside on her bike until her hour was up.  Finally her teachers realized what she was doing and called Mrs. Banner and told her not to send Marsha back because she was only wasting money. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class\"indent\">But the money was not wasted, all Marsha needed was the basics, she taught herself the rest.  She would compose her own tunes for hours.  She still writes at least one number a week.  She doesn't feel right not composing.  Many of her creations are put aside for more work later.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Although music has always been a part of her life, Marsha first went into medicine after graduating from Denison High School and worked at St. Paul's Hospital in Dallas.  After several years she said she just couldn't cope with all the illness and diseases. She decided to take a break, a vacation to get her thoughts together.  She traveled 6 months in Europe and upon arrival home she approached her mother and father about going back to school to study music.  After much discussion of the pros and cons, she enrolled at Tarrant County Junior College and Texas Christian University.  She majored in music education and directed orchestra and band at TJC where she was the recipient of many awards.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">She studied an extra year at TCU in order to learn different instruments so she could write music for those particular instruments. By knowing each instrument, I knew the sounds each made and how to write the music to fit the sound.\" Marsha said.  She spent a great deal of time on strings and played violin and cello.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">After graduation, Marsha played with an orchestra and opened a music school.  Later she and Nina Reed opened a school they called Reed Banner School of Must at Ft. Worth and moved it not long ago to Stringtown.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">She met her partner when Nina's son wanted to study trumpet.  She called and Marsha, ready for any challenge, said \"okay\" only to be alarmed when she found that Nina had a master's degree in music and was a top-notch violinist with Ft. Worth symphonies. Marsha knew that Nina would be watching and probably would be a tough critic.  She was, but the 2 became good friends. Nina is still a hard critic but Marsha's most avid fan.  She takes her partner's recording compositions everywhere she goes and offers them tapes and tells them about her. Marshal says she finds it hard to push her own work.  Nina doesn't. <\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Marsha and Nina realized that it is not always the music you like that makes a living.  Determined, Marsha branched out into composing music for commercial, singing and composing country western numbers (where the money is, she says) and a little disco on the side plus operating their school at their home\/recording studio.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Marsha said the school is a major source of their income but they also find making commercials for radio and television enjoyable and \"something different.\"  Marsha composed and recorded, \"D'Ellen Fantasy\" for her sister who lives here and while recording in Dallas was heard by a nationwide jewelry chain head who commissioned them for his radio advertising.\r\n<p class\"indent\">She and Nina have blended country music with orchestral instruments to create bluegrass music and are in demand for public appearances.  They are billed as Strawberry Blue Duo.  They recently performed \"Cowtown Suite\" at Ft. Worth's Chisholm Trail Days, a commissioned work by Marsha.  Taking part in the presentation were their students \"The Texas Buckaroos.\"<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"right\">\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\"\r\nsrc=\"images\/bio_images\/banner_marsha-2.jpeg\" width=\"300px\"\r\nalt=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>Nina Reed and Marsha Banner<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Strawberry Blues is the stage name for Nina Reed, left, and Marsha, who perform for private parties and other functions.  Marsha sings and plays keyboard with Nina, who is a violinist with Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra.\r\n\r\n<p class\"indent\">She has written a new country western number \"Whispering the Night\" which is being considered for an album by a noted recording company at Nashville.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Who knows, the next time we hear from Marsha she may be in Nashville.  This is a far cry from the music she loves but according to Marsha, all music stems from the classics.  She is teaching a rock star who walked in while a symphonic number was playing and thought it was great.  Now he is doing his own version of the piece. Marsha can play most any instrument and just plain likes music, that's all there is to it, but the hard rock is taking awhile for her to really appreciate. But then so was disco.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">When she was asked to write a disco tune for a commercial she didn't really know much about the beat but agreed.  This is when the trial began and she locked herself in her recording studio and listened to disco for 72 hours just to see what really made it different. She undoubtedly found out for she sold the commercial that is really going great guns.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">At Reed Banner School, Marsha teaches what she preaches. Most come to her knowing basics and she gives assignments including asking them to compose tunes and bringing in at least 2 melodies by the next lesson.  She teaches composition.  She takes melodies from old masters and fools her students.  Now she has even her rock and rollers playing classical but to their own beat.  She laughed and said, \"I don't think the masters will care, do you?\"<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">Nina, who accompanied Marsha on her visit here, said Marsha does all the composing.  She offers advice.  Another friend, Faye Murphree, who is judge of Springtown and an author, has joined the duo in writing words to the melodies.  Marsha said, \"I don't like getting bogged down in words.  I leave that to Faye.  I like the music.\"  Nina went on to explain that Marsha has the last word on any piece.<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">After a composition, the demonstrators are cut at their own studio, a 4-track by the way, but Marsha has it down pat and can do wonders.  Marsha laughed and said, \"Nina and Faye stay with me though to the end.  We work as a team and enjoy every minute.  I feel very fortunate to have met the two and especially to have them as friends.\"<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">A lot of times we try out music out on teenagers.  When they like your music it is usually a good sign.  I want and will do other symphonies\" she said as she displayed folder after folder of music, but sighed as she said \"so much ends up in the closet.\" \"I spent hours and hours and hours with music.  Sometimes I ask myself why am I doing this?\"<\/p>\r\n<p class\"indent\">The answer is simple for this multi-talented young woman.  \"It's because I love music.  I love to compete - it's my life.\"<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":1034,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fst","art_title":"Baptist Church, Grayson County","art_title_sort":"Baptist Church, Grayson County","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/First\/BaptistChurch\/BaptistChurch.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1035,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fst","art_title":"Barbed Wire Fence in Texas, Whitesboro","art_title_sort":"Barbed Wire Fence in Texas, Whitesboro","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Towns\/Whitesboro\/Sanborn.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":399,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-coldcase","art_title":" Louis Barbrick","art_title_sort":"Barbrick, Louis","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Crime&Punishment\/ColdCase\/Barbrick&amp;Derrick.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":400,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-coldcase","art_title":" Barney","art_title_sort":"Barney","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Crime&Punishment\/ColdCase\/Barney_Mrs.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":977,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fif","art_title":"Lou Birchie Ayers Blythe Barron","art_title_sort":"Barron, Lou Birchie Ayers Blythe","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Famous&amp;Infamous\/Barron_BirchieBlythe\/Barron_BirchieBlythe.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":32,"art_date":"2023-11-18","art_category":"bio","art_title":"Blanche Barrow","art_title_sort":"Barrow, Blanche","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":"Alchetron.com","art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/alchetron.com\/Blanche-Barrow","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":978,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fif","art_title":"Blanche Caldwell Barrow","art_title_sort":"Barrow, Blanche Caldwell","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Famous&amp;Infamous\/Barrow_Blanche\/Barrow_Blanche.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":979,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fif","art_title":"Bonnie Parker & Clyde Barrow","art_title_sort":"Barrow, Clyde & Parker, Bonnie","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Famous&amp;Infamous\/Bonnie&amp;Clyde\/Bonnie&amp;Clyde.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":433,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-felony","art_title":" Clyde Barrow","art_title_sort":"Barrow, Clyde -

Edna and her children moved from their family farm in Collinsville and resided at Albie's rented farm in Southmayd, Texas. Eventually, they moved to the Gunter, Texas area.  In 1951, their home burned with them loosing almost everything.  They rented a house until their new home was built at the farm. Albie retired in 1962.

Bean might have been as wealthy - considering the thousands of acres of land he owned in Texas before the turn of the century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>THE MAN<\/h5>\r\n<p>Early records indicate that the man, Tom Bean, came to Texas in 1840 or 1842 as a surveyor, receiving land in return for his services. He died in 1887 the same year that the town came into existence apparently having given the town site at an earlier date.<\/p><p>\r\nTom Bean's obituary in Grayson and Fannin County newspapers was picked up by The Dallas Morning News and stated: \"BONHAM - Mr. Tom Bean, the wealthiest and altogether the most eccentric man in Fannin County, died here yesterday, surrounded by the Negroes with whom he had lived for many years.\"<\/p><p>\r\nThe eccentricy of Bean has been the cause of many stories about the bachelor which are still told around the town that bears his name. Although he is never known to have lived in the town itself he did live on land he owned nearby, moving back to Bonham before his death.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>THE LEGEND<\/h5>\r\n<p>Bean is reported to have said that he had no family. \"I woke up one morning and found myself in a bean patch so I named myself Tom Bean,\" says the legend. While Bean may have said he had no family, since his death almost 90 years ago, many persons have made inquiries into his real life and real estate holding in the hope of proving themselves heirs of the man who said he found himself in a bean patch.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLong-time Tom Bean residents tell of strangers knocking on their doors seeking information about their \"ancestor\" Tom Bean. Legend says that Bean was generous although he lived in self-improved poverty and seclusion during his later years. His obituary adds that he would not sell of lease his land because he wanted to keep it unfenced \"so poor people could graze their livestock on it.\"\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nGenerous or not, Bean must have had an eye for business.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>LOTS SOLD<\/h5>\r\n<p>\r\nRecords in Grayson County show that from the 1890's until the early 1900's, lots in Tom Bean were sold by H. P.. Howard and J. L. Hume, administrators of his estate, indicating that Bean reserved hundreds of lots to sell when he gave the town's site.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA story still told around Tom Bean concerns ladies who were urging Bean to attend what was called a \"protracted\" meeting in those days. Bean declined by saying, \"Not tonight, not tonight.\" \"But Mr. Bean don't you want to go to heaven?\" exclaimed one of the ladies.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\"Not tonight, not tonight,\" replied the stoic Bean.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA rumor that has persisted through the years is that Bean came to Texas to escape a \"shotgun wedding\" with the daughter of a prominent judge. While unprovable, the Bean Family Association holds the story as truth and adds that young Tom left Sandwich, N. H. as a result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>MURDER RUMOR<\/h5>\r\n<p>Another rumor said that he was wanted for murder and changed his name when he came to Texas.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA Bean family in Alabama, claiming to be relatives, reports that Tom was the son of a Hessian soldier who fought against the colonists during the American Revolution.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nStill another story says that Tom's mother was half-Indian, explaining his one blue eye and one brown eye and perhaps his ____ about disclosing his early life.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMore than 100 persons, including an Eastern woman who said she was his illegitimate daughter, tried to claim the Bean estate which included 25,000 acres of land in Grayson County alone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>MYSTERY MAN<\/h5>\r\n<p>With that much land it may be true that Tom boasted that he could ride from Bonham to Austin and never get off his own land.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA mystery man to the end, Bean's Bible contained birth records but only for the Negroes with whom he lived.<\/p><p>\r\nThe estate was still in litigation as late as 1938 and finally became the property of the state when no family ties could be established.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>THE TOWN<\/h5>\r\n<p>The new town with its railroad attracted population from Whitemound which never regained its standing as a trade center. The first general merchandise store in Tom Bean was operated by W. H. and H. A. Lackey of the Lackey family that first settled at Whitemound in 1849. Other early business establishments were operated by J. H. Simmons, \"Pap\" Shively, W. W. Arnold, W. T. Francis, S .A. Frisby, H. H. Stark, Mrs. A. B. Firquin and Mrs. W. S. Baxter. J. F. \"Uncle Jim\" Davis and his wife, \"Aunt Nervie,\" operated one of two hotels for many years. Many traveling men of the day arranged their trips so they could stay at the Tom Bean Hotel to enjoy \"Aunt Nervie's cooking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>DIFFERENT<\/h5>\r\n<p>\r\nA eulogy written about \"Uncle Jim\" at his death in 1921 at the age of 81 calls him a man \"true to the Lord, His Word, His church.\"\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA Davis son, also named Jim, operated a drug store in Tom Bean and was known to be \"different\", if not as eccentric as the man Tom Bean.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPresent-day family members recall that the druggist, a born practical joker and not always known as \"true to the Lord,\" wore a coat all summer and went in his shirt sleeves all winter - just to be different.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHis pranks were widely known but did not deter residents from depending upon him for relief of their illnesses. Said a great-nephew, \"He was as good as a doctor when we didn't have one.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>BETTER PASS<\/h5>\r\n<p>A story told about Young Jim is that he once requested someone to \"pass the biscuits\" at the crowded hotel table. When no one heard him he slammed his six-shooter on the table and said loudly, \"I said pass the biscuits.\" He got quick response.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nT. C. Curtis published the Tom Beans Times, a weekly newspaper, until his death.

BLACKFORD<\/b>, the president of the State National Bank and a moving factor in many enterprises which have contributed to the business activity and prosperity of Denison, was born in West Virginia in 1862, a son of John Graham and Mary (Van Winkle) Blackford. The father was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, and died in Parkersburg, that state, in 1892, at the age of fifty-eight years. His wife, a native of West Virginia, is still living and makes her home in Parkersburg. In the family were three children.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nGodwin L. Blackford spent the days of his boyhood and youth in his parents' home and acquired a good public school education. He was twenty-one years of age when, with the desire to seek a home and fortune in the Southwest, he made his way to Texas, arriving in this state on the 1st of July, 1883. He located first in Sherman, where he was connected with the Merchants & Planters National Bank in various positions connected with the conduct of that institution. During the latter part of the time he was teller, and he remained in Sherman until 1890, when he came to Denison to accept the cashiership of the State National Bank, of which he also became a director. He acted as cashier until after the death of R. C. Shearman, which occurred July 16, 1899. On the 22nd of August of the same year he was elected president, which office he has filled ever since. The bank has followed a safe conservative policy and under the leadership of Mr. Blackford has gained a position in banking circles in Texas among the foremost. He has also been identified with various other industries and interests of Denison. He was secretary of the road [sic] until it was sold to the Interurban Railroad Company. He was likewise president of the Compress Company from its organization, was vice president of the Denison Building & Land Company, is the secretary of the Denison Crystal Ice Company, president of the Denison Driving Park and Fair Association and has financial investment in many other interests.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1889 Mr. Blackford was united in marriage to Miss Eugenia Rue, of Grayson County, Texas, and they have a daughter, Clara, who was born in Denison. In social circles of the city they occupy an enviable position and Mr. Blackford is a most public-spirited man, whose aid and co-operation can always be counted upon to further any movement tending to the benefit of his adopted city. He is indeed a leading spirit in the commercial world here and Denison acknowledges its indebtedness to his efforts. He is of a very social and genial nature and is heartily welcomed in the best homes of the city. The success of his life is due to no inherited fortune or to any happy succession of advantageous circumstances but to his own sturdy will, steady application, tireless industry and sterling integrity.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p>\r\n<b>Source: <\/b>[B.

As a young man of approximately 20 years of age, Tom immigrated to the United States in 1866<>sup>1<\/sup>. Following the Civil War, Tom owned and operated a hardware business in Dodge City, Kansas as well as being postmaster.  On 24 February 1870 Tom married Mary Jane Duffin in Hastings, Ontario who was a native Canadian and daughter of Robert and Dorah Duffin. Within five months Tom, aged 25, and Mary, aged 20, have moved to Grinnell Township, Poweshiek Co., Iowa where he is engaged in farming.  Mary Jane died after they moved to Iowa but before 1875.<\/p>\r\n<p>By May 1875, Tom Boldrick is living in Grayson County, Texas.

He has boots and shoes suitable for any trade, from the finest French calf to the common stoga.  He is prepared to give superior bargains to country merchants who may wish to purchase.  Boldrick can do as well with you as St. Louis houses, in fact, he will compare prices.  To the city trade he will say, come and see me, my stock is complete.<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><i>I have the most elegant stock of ladies shoes ever offered for sale in Denison, and they are sold at a very small profit.

Three men, brothers Ed and John Leeper, along with Tom Leeper, begin construction on the Boldrick\/Leeper Building, later known as the Security Building.  After going bankrupt in 1896, Tom opened his shoe business in his son's name, J.E. Boldrick<sup>6<\/sup>. At the age of 52, Thomas has set off on his adventure seeking gold in the Canadian northwestern Yukon Territory by mid-March 1898, leaving his wife and three sons behind in Denison to operate the family business.<\/p>\r\n<p>The 1903 Denison City Directory shows that Thomas is a clerk for his son in the family business.  The group of six men, including John S.

Eliza is listed as a milliner.<\/p>\r\n<p>Tom's nephew, S.J. Boldrick, who had worked in the business with his uncle, took over the shoe business and moves the business to 314 West Main St. by 1901<sup>7<\/sup>.

His parents were John Wilson Boyd (1834\u20131911) and Virginia M. (\"Jenny\") Bowles Boyd (1840\u20131917). After attending school in Kentucky, he headed west.<\/p><p>\r\nBy around 1885, Boyd and Lingo Clothiers were operating in a primitive rural setting near the Red River north of Denison, Grayson County, Texas. Two years later, in 1887, Jim was a partner (with Rufus S. Wootton and J. William Hayes) in Wootton & Company, purveyors of clothing, boots, shoes, and hats at 200 West Main Street in Denison. Jim was living at the same address.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBy 1893, James Boyd had left Wootton and Company and, in partnership with Levi Lingo, formed Boyd and Lingo (\"clothiers, hatters, and gents furnishers\") at 230 West Main Street in Denison. Three years later, the Denison City Directory listed two of Jim's brothers as store employees: Richard G. Boyd, salesman; and Edward L. Boyd, traveling salesman. All three brothers were rooming at 607 West Main Street, while Levi Lingo lived at 916 West Sears Street.<\/p><p>\r\nAround 1904, James Boyd bought out Levi Lingo's interest in the Boyd and Lingo clothing store. For the next 22 years, he operated the business under his own name \"James Boyd, Gents' Outfitters.\" <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**boyd_store_exterior.jpg*James Boyd Clothing House, corner of Rusk Avenue.

It figures prominently in the 1916 panoramic photograph by Kelley Studio.<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>James was sophisticated in emerging retail sales techniques. He always advertised a great deal in local newspapers and national trade publications.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLate in the store's life, its stock was moved to the Madden Building at 331 West Main Street, where the business operated under the name \"James Boyd, Incorporated.\" On January 1, 1926, Jim retired from the business, which became known as Boyd & Lackey.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn February 10, 1898, Jim married Sarah \"Sallie\" Shallenberger (1867\u20131941) in Chicago, Illinois. She had moved to Denison with her parents, Major and Mrs. S. S. Shallenberger, in the early days when her father, a civil engineer, helped build a railroad from McAlester, Oklahoma, to Little Rock, Arkansas. The family settled in Denison, where a Mrs. Shallenberger (probably Sallie's mother) taught at the new Educational Institute during its first two years of operation, 1874\u20131875. This school was the first free, graded public school in Texas. Sallie's obituary states that she received her schooling in Denison and later attended college at Boston, Massachusetts. However, Sallie is not listed in existing records for graduates of Denison's Educational Institute.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center*500*boyd_home_1030_w_gandy-2.jpg*1030 West Gandy Street<br>Home of Jim and Sallie in 1908<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center*500*boyd_home_1030_w_gandy-1.jpg*<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<p>A year later, they had moved to 1105 West Bond Street, where they lived until Jim's death in 1927.

Throughout all of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, the James Boyd sign was a familiar feature on every highway. His business covered a large territory and the strict integrity of the man early in life earned for him the high esteem of all who knew him.\r\n<\/p><\/p>\r\nHe was born in Hopkinsville, Ky., November 1, 1861, where he received his education. At the age of 25 years he came to Denison and engaged in the retail clothing business with Will Hayes and R. Wootton at 206 West Main Street. A few years later he became associated with Levi Lingo, now deceased, in the building now occupied by the National Bank of Denison. Subsequently, Mr. Boyd acquired the Lingo interest and continued the business under his own name for 22 years.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDuring all these years the business continued to grow and expand, and feeling the need for larger quarters, the stock was moved to the Madden building at 331 West Main street, where the business was incorporated under the name of James Boyd, Incorporated. On January 1, 1926, he retired from business, being succeeded by Boyd & Lackey.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Boyd was married to Miss Sallie Shallenberger in Chicago, Ill., in 1892, his bride being a former Denison girl. Following the marriage they returned to Denison and established their home, and have since continuously resided here.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h5>Known Throughout State<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>As a retail clothing dealer, Mr. Boyd was known throughout the state, having served at one time as president of the Texas Retail Clothiers Association. He also was a former director of the State National Bank. The deceased also was a member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, the Masons, Chamber of Commerce, and Rod and Gun Club.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nSurviving are his widow, Mrs. Sallie Boyd; two brothers, E. L. Boyd and R. G. Boyd, of Denison; and a sister, Mrs. R. M. Meacham of Hopkinsville, Ky.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFuneral services will be held at St. Luke's Episcopal Church Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, with Rev. Charles Harris Jr., rector, officiating. Interment will be in Fairview cemetery. Funeral arrangements are in charge of Short-Murray, funeral directors.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFrom 1914 on, Sallie spent every summer in Battle Creek, Michigan, for health reasons. She died there in September 1941.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>scan*bio*center*200*boyd_sign.jpg*James Boyd sign North side of M. T.

Hiram was born in Boone County, Missouri, on January 22, 1856. During the Civil War, Theodore enlisted as a 1st Lieutenant in the Union Army, serving in Company F, 9th SM Cavalry Regiment, Missouri. He died of wounds on May 8, 1862, when his son Hiram was six years old. There was a younger daughter, too: Florence Brooks (1859\u20131934).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Listed as a student in Columbia, Cedar, Boone County, Missouri, in the Census of 1870, Hiram in 1880 was a 24-year-old single male \"general merchant\" in the same location.

Johnston (1856\u20131930).<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p>A profile<sup>1<\/sup> written around 1901 recounted.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noindent\">\"<i>Young Johnston was left an orphan when twelve years of age, and his early life was necessarily one of labor and privation.... At sixteen years of age he became a Christian and determined to acquire an education, with a view to entering the ministry.  To this end he leased twenty acres of land, which he cultivated upon his own account, meantime practicing the most rigid economy...  On return to Ashland, he took employment in a general store.  Two years afterward opportunity presented for the purchase of a mercantile business, and so well established was his reputation for business ability, industry and integrity that it was transferred to him on his paying the sum of $175, the savings of his two years' clerkship, and obliging himself for the remainder of the $6,000 at which it was valued....  He soon admitted into partnership with himself Hiram Brooks, and later O. Harris.  J.W. Johnston and L. Bass, when the enlarged firm established two branch stores in the county, which with the parent house, built up a business aggregating about a quarter of a million dollars annually.  Subsequently he and L. Bass established the Bass-Johnston Banking Company Bank of Ashland, and later the bank of Brooks, Bass & Johnston, Denison, Texas.  After his business enterprises had become firmly established, Mr. Johnston committed their management entirely to his partners, L. Bass, H. Brooks, S.R. Harell, and John S. Harris, and devoted his energies to the purpose he had formed as a youth.  He was now twenty-eight years of age {ca. 1885}, and he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky....  He was married October 15, 1879, to Miss Florence Brooks, a highly educated lady and a devoted laborer in church work.  She is a graduate of Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri.  Four children were born of this marriage.<\/i>\"<br><br><\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*left*300*brooks_adv_1891.jpg*1891 City Directory<br>Denison, Texas<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>On August 3, 1883, the Missouri Statesman newspaper reported that Hiram Brooks was opening a grocery business in Denison, Texas. Three months later he married Margaret Mellon in Springfield, Missouri, and the newlyweds moved to Texas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Listed in the 1887-88 Denison City Directory was Brooks & Harris (Hiram Brooks, Overton Harris), groceries, provisions, feed, 210 W Main. Hiram Brooks was living at 1422 South Fannin Avenue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>By 1891, Hiram and his old partner, Overton Harris, had gone separate ways, with Hiram buying out Overton's interest in the grocery business. The 1891 City Directory carried an advertisement reading: \"<i>Hiram Brooks, Dealer in Staple and Fancy Groceries. We study to please our customers and sell only the best. We carry in stock everything the trade demands. Our goods are strictly first-class and prices as low as all other dealers. Produce and Feed. No. 210 West Main Street.<\/i>\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hiram was living at 206 West Gandy Street. Meanwhile, Harris had become a partner with John W. Hayes in Hayes & Harris, purveyors of clothing and gents' furnishing goods, at 105 West Main Street. Both Hayes and Harris were rooming at 600 West Woodard Street and taking their meals at the McDougall Hotel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1896, the City Directory recorded the grocery business at the same location, while Hiram now resided at 709 West Woodard Street.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-5\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*left**brooks_bank.jpg*Brooks Bank<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-7\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*right**brooks_house.jpg*Brooks Residence<br>515 North Burnett Avenue<br>Denison, Texas<sup>4<\/sup><\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<foto>photo*bio*right*350*brooks_store_interior.jpg*Hiram Brooks Grocery Store<br>318 West Main Street, Denison<sup>5<\/sup><\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>In the next few years, Hiram Brooks let go of the grocery business and became president of the Bank of Brooks, Bass, and Johnston, as described above. By the time of the 1900 Census, Hiram listed his occupation as \"banker,\" and the Brooks family had acquired a fine residence at 515 North Burnett Avenue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hiram and Margaret had two sons, Louis and Eugene. They also had a black live-in male servant, Matthew Smith.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 1901 City Directory<sup>3<\/sup> carried this listing: \"<i>Brooks, Bass & Johnston. Hiram Brooks, president, Denison; Lawrence Bass, Ashland, Mo.; John T. M. Johnston, St. Louis, Mo.; Benjamin M.

Bank of Brooks, Bass & Johnston.  Financial Responsibility, Quarter of a Million Dollars. Real Estate Office of H. Alexander.  Side Entrance<\/i>\" <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shortly, the bank folded. The City Directory for 1903 listed Hiram Brooks' occupation as \"<i>real estate, 228 West Main; residence at 515 North Burnett Ave.<\/i>\" Margaret is listed as his wife. By 1907, however, Hiram had joined John B. McDougall in forming the Denison Bank and Trust Company. He continued his real estate business, now at 122 West Main Street.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>By 1910, Hiram had returned to the grocery business, opening Hiram Brooks Grocery at 110\u2013112 North Rusk Avenue. Son Louis brooks worked as a clerk in the store for a few years, then became a traveling agent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hiram started to slow down, retaining his real estate business but retiring from the grocery store and from banking. In 1920, the Census reported him living in a smaller house at 214 West Gandy Street, still with wife Margaret. He died on May 15 of that year and was buried in Calvary Cemetery. Margaret joined him there upon her death on January 15, 1925.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<br>\r\n<foto>*mis_images*center*280*divider_wrough.png*<\/foto>\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*right**brooks_house-2.jpg*Smith Memorial Chapel Mortuary<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*left**brooks_front.jpg*R A Pipkins Chapel and Mercy Mansion, ca. 2010<br>515 N Burnett Ave.<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p>For many years, beginning in 1971, this property housed the Smith Memorial Chapel Mortuary, operated by James E. and Barbara Smith.

Tipton, of Fort Worth; Charles S., a resident of Kentucky; John M., who is living in New Mexico; James Madison, of Fort Worth; and Orrin, also of that city<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nWilliam H. Brown accompanied his parents on their removal from Kentucky to Fort Worth, where his youth was passed, and on attaining his majority he began stock-raising on his own account at Vernon, Texas, where he remained for four years. In the spring of 1895, he removed to Grayson county, settling in the southern part of Denison, where he engaged in stock-raising and in handling dairy products. There he resided until October, 1899, when he bought one hundred acres of land where he now resides, about two and a half miles north of the city. Here he is engaged extensively in handling dairy products, having a capacity of two hundred and twenty-five gallons of milk per day. He keeps one hundred and twenty Jersey cows and ships his dairy products all over the state. He is likewise a successful breeder of fine Jersey cattle and keeps splendid animals constantly on hand for sale. He also raises hogs and mules, while his stock and his dairy products both find a ready sale, the latter because of superior quality.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIn 1888 Mr. Brown was married in Tarrant county, Texas, to Miss Sarah Currie, whose birth occurred in Smith county, this state, but who was reared in Tarrant county. Her parents were Archibald D. and Ann (Harrold) Currier, who came from Alabama and settled in Smith county, Texas, before the Civil War. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have become the parents of six children: Nellie Belle, A. D. and Lena, all born in Tarrant county; Vey, who was born in Willbarger county; Mary Alice and Ralph, born in Grayson county.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nMr. Brown exercises his right of franchise in support of the men and measures of the Democracy and is a member of the Woodmen of the World. He is regarded as a very energetic and enterprising citizen and is much esteemed for his genuine personal worth and the success he has achieved. He has made for the Lawn Dairy Farm, a splendid reputation and has acquired gratifying success for himself.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**lawnfarm_dairy.jpg*ca 1925<br>A later view of Lawn Dairy Farm\r\nwhen owned by Andrew Fox Platter.<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n B.

He attended high school in Sherman and graduated from Austin College at the age of 19.

Bryant has arrived in Denison from Berkeley, California, where he recently graduated with a Ph.D. degree in zoology, and with Mrs. Bryant, the former Miss Mavis Clymer, and their baby daughter, Mavis Anne, will live at 32 Vaugh Drive which they rented this week.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Bryant has been teaching in various educational institutions as he progressed with his own studies, but for the present he will enter the mercantile business in Denison.  He is part owner of the Denison Poultry and Egg company, 131 E. Morton, whose proprietor is Bryant's father-in-law, Ray Clymer, Sr.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. and Mrs. Bryant are stopping with their grandmother, Mrs. A.E. Clymer, 929 West Morton, while their house is being made ready in the Cuff addition.  Mr. Bryant is a nephew of Judge Randolph Bryant of Sherman, and belongs to the pioneer Bryant family of  Pottsboro.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Bryant returned to Austin College in 1947 as Professor of Biology and Chairman of the Department.  During his 25 years at Austin College, his excellence in teaching was recognized when he was named a Minnie S. Piper Professor, a statewide honor. He also received the Austin College Excellence in Teaching Award and, in 1965, the Distinguished Alumnus Award.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bud Bryant had a profound influence on the Austin College Biology Program and on his students.  He was responsible for introducing field courses to the curriculum while at the same time greatly increasing the excellence of the pre-medical program and its reputation.  He began the Herbarium and Natural History Collections.  During his tenure at the College, he taught virtually every biology course at one time or another.  His summer field trips, both local and to the western U.S., Alaska, and Mexico, broadened the liberal arts perspective of his students.  His 1942 and 1945 papers on the mammals of the Big Bend Area of Texas and phylogeny of North American ground squirrels were published in national journals and continue to be cited by subsequent researchers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Throughout his years at Austin College, Bud Bryant always set very high standards for his students, worked tirelessly to help them meet those standards, and took deep pride in their achievements in life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During Austin College\u2019s 100 Years of Science celebration, Sandy shared the following story:\r\nSystematic Botany Final Exam with Dr. M.D. Bryant.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n<i>Dr. Bryant was legendary for his rigorous academic standards for Biology (mostly pre-med) students in the 1960s. The best way to illustrate this to current students is to describe our Systematic Botany final exam and let them compare it to AC\u2019s finals today. First, even though this was a senior-level course, everyone had to take the exam, and it counted 25% of the final course grade! Dr. Bryant did not give the exam during the scheduled time\u2014he gave it on the last Saturday of exam week. It was given in the field, not in a classroom or lab. We carpooled all around Grayson County starting at 8 a.m. Austin College did not have vans for field labs then as they do now. We would stop at a specific location (not necessarily one that we had previously visited in lab), and Dr. Bryant would point to a plant and ask us a question about it. In addition, we would have to write down the genus and species of it. It could be a plant that we didn\u2019t see in lab and if that was the case, he would give extra credit if you knew the species. You were expected to know the genus from knowing genus characteristics, even if you had not seen the plant before.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At noon, we ended up at his cabin on Lake Texoma. We ate our sack lunches while he handed out an all-essay written exam. He gave us four hours to write the exam. After the class was finished, he cooked hamburgers for everyone and brought out beer for those old enough to legally drink.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was definitely the most memorable exam in my college experience. I am not sure that even my thesis defense for my master\u2019s degree was any harder or more stressful.<\/i> \u2014 Sandy Beach, Class of 1968<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Always a champion of the underdog, Dr. Bryant helped older students and women find careers in medicine, dentistry, and medical illustration.  After the Korean War, Austin College saw an influx of veterans preparing themselves for medical school on the G.I. Bill.  Some of these \"hard working, hard playing\" students helped Bud complete the research for his monograph, \"Poisonous Snakes of Grayson County.\"<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**alaksa.jpg*Monroe David Bryant<br>Whitehorse Rapids, Yukon Territory, Alaska<br>\r\n1956<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Bryant died in 1974; he is buried with his family in Fairview Cemetery.  After his death, former students, friends, and family established the Bryant Fellowship in Biology.  These fellowships, awarded each year to one or more academically outstanding biology majors, are ongoing reminders of Dr. Bryant's many contributions to the College.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Portions of this write-up were contributed by Mavis Anne Bryant and David Bryant, children of Bud Bryant."},{"art_id":982,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fif","art_title":"Monroe D.

He discovered:\r\nThe 1930 Census listed five residents at the Burnett Avenue address:\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:square;\">\r\n<li> John T. Carroll, head of household, 51, railway switchman, born in Tennessee to parents born in Tennessee.<\/li>\r\n<li>Meta Carroll, 45, wife, no occupation, also born in Tennessee to parents born in Tennessee.<\/li>\r\n<li> Mary Carroll, 23, daughter, saleslady in a hat shop, born in Texas.<\/li>\r\n<li>Wilma Carroll, 25, daughter, public school teacher, born in Texas.<\/li>\r\n<li>Venita Hartson, 27, daughter, industry \"public school\", born in Texas.<\/li>\r\n<li>Albert Hartson, 32, son-in-law, manager \"Texas Co.

Vinita wrote:\r\n<br>\r\n<i>WOW! I think Jim knows more about my family than I do! I was, by the way, named for Venita, only my mother chose to change the spelling slightly. Let's see what I can add to the story.<\/i>\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:square;\">\r\n<li>Venita did die in the house fire.<\/li>\r\n<li>My grandmother, Mary Carroll-Pierce, was shot by my grandfather as she lay sleeping in the downstairs apartment of the Carroll family home. She was sleeping next to her sister Wilma. My grandfather, Dansby Pierce, then walked upstairs and shot himself. I am unsure of the exact year but believe it was around 1961 or 1962.<\/li>\r\n<li>My father, Dan Mitchell Pierce, died in a motorcycle accident on Breezy Hill [on Texoma Parkway between Denison and Sherman] August 1968. His Aunt Wilma died within hours of finding out about his passing, due to the heartbreak of so much tragedy.<\/li>\r\n<li> My mom did not inherit the home because of my dad dying first, just hours before Wilma. Everything reverted to her and her heirs. I do have tons of pictures, some of the china, and a suitcase full of memorabilia.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**carroll_wilma.jpg*Wilma Carroll - Nolte<\/foto>\r\n \r\n<h4>WILMA\u2019S STORY, AS JIM SEARS TELLS IT<\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:square;\">\r\n<li> Wilma Margaret Carroll married Howell W. Nolte in Durant, Oklahoma, in August 1933, when she was 28 & he was about 35.<\/li>\r\n<li>Mrs. Nolte taught first grade at Raynal School. Howell was a manual arts teacher at Denison High School. He is mentioned three or four times in Bryant and Hunt\u2019s book, Two Schools on Main Street<\/li>\r\n<li> My mom did not inherit the home because of my dad dying first, just hours before Wilma. Everything reverted to her and her heirs. I do have tons of pictures, some of the china, and a suitcase full of memorabilia.<\/li>\r\n<li> In 1930, Howell Nolte is listed in the City Directory with a previous wife, Jewell M. Nolte, also a school teacher. Their son, William Howell (Bill) Nolte, was born in October 1932.<\/li>\r\n<li>  Perhaps Jewell died, for Wilma raised Bill. He graduated from Denison High School in 1949, when he was not yet 17. ( Perhaps having three parents and an aunt who teach school is an academic advantage.) In 2010, he was living in Ormond Beach, Florida.<\/li>\r\n<li> In the 1946 Denison City Directory, Howell Nolte is listed as a school teacher, but by 1949 he had changed careers, becoming a field specialist for the U.S. Veterans Administration. He died in November 1949, at about age 52.<\/li>\r\n<li>By 1951, Wilma had moved from 624 West Gandy Street back to 515 North Burnett. Howell\u2019s son Bill had moved with her. At that time, the Carroll family home was owned by her mother, Meta D. Carroll.<\/li>\r\n<li>Bill is listed as a student in 1951. Since he graduated from high school in 1949, he must have been attending college somewhere. I have found so many references to \"William Howell Nolte\" on the Web that I suspect there may be more than one person with that name. He may have become an English professor, literary critic, doctor, pilot, real estate agent, or all or none of those things.<\/li>\r\n<li> Wilma Carroll Nolte died in 1968, at age 63. She is buried at Fairview Cemetery. Howell Nolte died in 1949 and was buried in his home town, San Angelo.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**odell-carroll_venita.jpg*Venita Carroll - O'Dell<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<h4>VENITA\u2019S STORY, AS JIM SEARS PUT IT TOGETHER<\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:square;\">\r\n<li> Venita Carroll married her first husband, Albert Hartson (June 1, 1897 \u2013 September 7, 1973), in 1927 or 1928.<\/li>\r\n<li>Hartson's occupation in the 1930 Census was given as \"manager, Texas Co. F.\" The U.S. National Guard Register for 1922 lists Albert J. Hartson as a 1st Lieutenant in Texas Company E. In 1925 he is listed again as a 1st Lieutenant. His regiment is \"Special Division Troops\" and his company is \"36 Sig Co - Denison.\" That considerable military service (at least eight years, 1922\u201330) apparently qualified him for his subsequent career in the Denison Police Department.<\/li>\r\n<li> Venita teaches at Hyde Park Elementary, 1933<\/li>\r\n<li> Albert is listed in the 1938 City Directory as a city patrolman. By 1940, he had been promoted to city detective.<\/li>\r\n<li> Venita is listed in 1938 and 1940 directories as a teacher. In 1938, they were still living at 515 North Burnett, her mother\u2019s home. (Venita's father, John T. Carroll, had died in 1937.)<\/li>\r\n<li> The 1946 City Directory lists Venita Hartson still at the same address. Albert, however, is missing. Apparently they divorced between 1940 and 1946. In 1946, Venita was still a teacher. For the first time, her school was identified in the directories as \"Central School.\"<\/li>  \r\n<li> The Social Security Death Index lists Van Horn in Culberson County as Albert's last address of record, but the Texas Death Index says he actually died in McLennan County. There is or was a big VA hospital in Waco. He may have gone there from Van Horn for treatment of his last illness. The Texas Death Index says he was single when he died on September 7, 1973.<\/li>\r\n<li> By 1949 Venita had been promoted to principal at Raynal School. She is listed there again in 1951. Her name is still Venita Hartson.<\/li>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li> By the time I (Jim) started first grade in 1957, Venita Hartson had become Venita O\u2019Dell, having married Otha O\u2019Dell, a railroad employee born in Grayson County in 1897. They obviously married sometime between 1951 and 1957. It was the second marriage for him, too.<\/li>\r\n<li> Venita may have finally moved out of her mother's house after she married Otha. [The 1955 and 1959 phone books list Otha O\u2019Dell (sic) at 1029 East Texas Street.]<\/li>\r\n<li> Venita died shortly before Christmas in 1965 at age 62. Otha lived until 1980, but they may have been divorced before she died. The Grayson County Death Index lists her as \"Single.\"<\/li>\r\n<li> If they did divorce, she may have moved back to 515 North Burnett (assuming she moved out when they married) before she died. (I don't have a directory or phone book to check that.)<\/li>\r\n<li> Venita Hartson O\u2019Dell is buried in Fairview Cemetery. Otha O\u2019Dell is not listed in Fairview's records among those interred.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n<foto>*bio*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<h5>REMEMBERING VENITA'S HUSBAND, OTHA O\u2019DELL:<\/h5>\r\n\r\n<p>Nancy Schmidt spoke up. \u201c<i>I am Mr. O'Dell\u2019s niece, Nancy Colson. My mother was his sister. He had three sisters on Munson Street: Mrs. Tennie, Mrs. Millie Mays, and my mother. Aunt Venita was a very sweet lady. Someone said that Uncle Otha was buried out at our cemetery east of town. He and Aunt Venita are in Fairview Cemetery north of town on the road to the lake [Texoma]. Oh, no, I forgot Aunt Opal; she lived in half of my mother's house at 222 West Munson Street. It's all gone now. It's hard for me to go down Munson \u2026 I enjoy these pictures and stories. Thanks to all who send in the stories. God bless.<\/i>\u201d\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nVinita Pierce Ray, granddaughter of Venita\u2019s sister Mary, replied: \u201c<i>I remember Mr. O'Dell's sister then, but I remember her name as \u2018Charlie\u2019 Mays (I always called her \u2018Aunt Charlie\u2019). Of course I was very little and could be slightly mistaken about the name, but she lived down the street from my mother and me on Munson. We visited her all the time. She was so sweet. I loved her to death. She was about the only family left from my dad's side.<\/i>\u201d\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPat Barnhill added, \"<i>Mr. O'Dell was a very nice man.

H. Chisholm<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<h5>BORN IN MISSISSIPPI<\/h5>\r\n<p>William Henry Chisholm is a native of Mississippi, but has been in Grayson county since 1857.  His father, Charles E. Chisholm, was a soldier in the Mexican war and helped to give Texas her freedom from Mexican rule and for this service he was given a grant of land of 4900 acres and it was while on his way to Texas to locate his land, that the father died and left the mother and four children among strangers, Henry being the oldest, he being then seven years of age.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe mother came on to Texas and located five miles east of Sherman on Choctaw, and began the problem of caring for her family.  A few years later Mrs. Chisholm married Hezekiah Ladd, whom, to quote Mr. Chisholm's own words, \"was one of the best men in the world,\" and there was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ladd three children, one of whom is J. A. Ladd of Sherman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>THE MOTHER DIES<\/h5>\r\n<p>All went well enough with the family until the Civil War came on and Mr. Ladd entered the Confederate army and died while in that service, leaving the widow and four Chisholm children and three Ladd children to fight their own battle.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<p>But this was not all - soon after the death of the husband and father, the little home on Choctaw which sheltered the family, caught fire and burned to the ground and with it everything in the house including the certificate calling for the 4900 acres of land.  But this was not enough, very soon thereafter the mother passed on to join the two companions that had gone before, leaving seven little fellows of which Henry, then thirteen, was the oldest, to make their way in the world as best they could, and the children were thereafter cared for by the good people of the surrounding country, each finding a home where it was possible, and much was required and the best possible service rendered by the oldest in keeping places for the younger children to stay, and by days work on the farms of the neighborhood.  Henry helped out the little ones as best he could\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>HENRY BINDS HIMSELF OUT<\/h5>\r\n<p>When about sixteen, Henry Chisholm made a trade with William Francis, one of the early settlers of the country, under which agreement Henry was to work for Mr. Francis for four years, receiving in return for his labor his board and clothes and three months schooling out of each year and at the end of the time Mr. Francis was to give him a forty dollar horse, bridle and saddle.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAmong other work and business conducted by Mr. Francis was freighting between Jefferson, Texas and Sherman with ox wagons, and Henry was given a team of two yoke of oxen and a wagon and put on the road.  The business was profitable and other teams were added and as the business grew Henry was put in charge of the \"train\" and when it came time for him to enter school the first winter his services were so much needed by Mr. Francis that he told him if he would go ahead and work straight through that at the end of the time he would send him to school for a whole year, and this was agreed to by Henry, but like thousands of boys in Texas have done, when the.....found himself so big in size and knowing so little in books that he felt a sense of shame to start in to school at that late date, and the result was that he did not take the year's schooling, but launched out for himself at the end of his contract with Mr. Francis. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>HENRY GETS MARRIED<\/h5>\r\n<p>In 1873 Mr. Chisholm was married to Marther Witten, daughter of Floyd Witten who lived out on Choctaw in the community where Henry had come up.  To this marriage was born two children, G. W. Chisholm of Brownsfield, Texas, and Walter Chisholm of Whitesboro.  Martha Witten Chisholm lived only a little over two years after her marriage to Mr. Chisholm, but during this two years they had bought forty acres of land from George Dugan four miles southeast of Sherman, which is part of the splendid farm above referred to which Mr. Chisholm now owns.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAfter the death of his wife, Mr. Chisholm set to his task of caring for his little ones and paying out his forty acres for which he had agreed to pay eight dollars per acre, making only a small payment down and giving notes for the balance.  When the first note fell due Mr. Chisholm found himself unable to meet it in full, and while he said he could have borrowed the money to pay the balance that the party offered to lend it to him wanted twenty-four per cent interest per annum for it, that being no uncommon rate of interest to be charged for money at that time.  Mr. Chisholm knew that such a interest would soon eat him up, and instead of borrowing the money to pay the balance and waiting to make another crop, he went into the timber and split rails at one dollar per hundred and got the balance of the money with which to meet his land note.<\/p><p>\r\nAnother crop was pitched and things went along well enough in their way, but the land was new, the plows small and sorry, and the crop was hard to cultivate with the result that there was not enough left out of the crop the second year to meet the second note, and again Mr. Chisholm \"worked out\" this time building post fences at one dollar per...the money to pay the balance of the second note.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>HENRY MARRIES AGAIN<\/h5>\r\n<p>In 1878, Mr. Chisholm was married to Mary E. Francis, daughter of William Francis, the man for whom he worked the four years as above related, and one of those brave characters which helped to give Texas her history, he, too, being an Indian fighter and a pioneer who has left an imprint in our history that can never be effaced. To this marriage has been born five children, three of whom are now living, as follows:  Mrs. H. C. Gilmer, Mrs. Clyde King, and Miss Henrietta Chisholm.  Mollie, another daughter, died at age twelve, and William Thomas at age twelve.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>THE FRUITS OF INDUSTRY<\/h5>\r\n<p>The Chisholm home, which had its beginning in the manner above stated, represents a continuous effort for Mr. and Mrs. Chisholm for more than forty years, and reflects upon them a credit and comfort to them for the balance of their early life which was guaranteed to them by the founders of our great State and written into our constitution in such a manner that no adverse power or circumstance under the sun can deprive the husband and wife, and in passing the writer hereof digresses sufficiently to say, \"so mote it be,\" ever in the future. As above stated the first purchase of this splendid home was only forty acres and similar purchases were made from time to time as the years went by at prices all the way from . . . to $65 per acre, and paid for with . . . at five to eight cents per . . . in the lint, corn at sixteen to thirty-five cents per bushel, oats twenty to twenty-five cents, and wheat at an average of about seventy-five cents, and even with these prices the farm has long since been paid for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>MILLING BOIS D'ARC SEED<\/h5>\r\n<p>Mr. Chisholm says the first money that he ever made, except possibly a few cents, was paid to him by R. A. Chapman of Sherman.  Mr. Chisholm was then possibly about fifteen years of age and Mr. Chapman was in business in Sherman.  Parties came into this country from Kansas wanting bois d'arc seed from which to grow hedge fences, and offered the very tempting price of $16 per bushel for these seeds.  Mr. Chapman took a contract to furnish the seed and a mill to get the seed out of the apples was put up and the apples hauled or carried to the mill, Henry took a contract to furnish apples, under which he was to have half the seed extracted, and he carried the apples from Choctaw bottom in a sack on a pony to the mill and succeeded in getting a bushel of seed to his part for which Mr. Chapman gave him thirty-two half dollars, and Mr. Chisholm says that he was, upon receipt of that money, the richest boy in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>PIONEER RAILROADING<\/h5>\r\n<p>In addition to his farming operations, Mr. Chisholm has always done more of less outside business, from splitting rails to building railroads. In 1886 when the Cotton Belt railroad was built into Sherman, Mr. Chisholm made a contract with Lyon and Briton to build five miles of the road commencing on the third mile out of Sherman.  This job was complete on April first, 1887, and that five miles of road represented one-third of the grading of the entire distance from Sherman to Sulphur Springs.  Mr. Chisholm in the years following also did other railroad work and always delivered on every contract, though all of this work was done as a side issue to his farming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>HELPING THE FARMER<\/h5>\r\n<p>Mr. Chisholm has conducted a cotton gin on Choctaw near his home for forty years, and early in his career he began experimenting with seeds, especially cotton and corn.  Being in the ginning business he soon saw the great advantage to be derived from planting only the best cotton seed, and this led him into a work that has not only brought gain to him and his neighbors, but to the whole country over.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Chisholm is the originator of the Chisholm Prolific Big Boll Cotton, also of the Chisholm Corn, which is a big white corn with a red cob, and both his cotton and corn is acknowledged by farmers throughout the South as being two of the best varieties extant.  One of the U.S. Government agents at the Red River Valley Fair last year, upon meeting Mr. Chisholm said: \"I am indeed glad to know you and take you by the hand, and I want to assure you that in my opinion you have done as much for the farmers of the South as any other man alive, because everywhere I go I find the very best results from both cotton and corn grown from your seeds.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>THE SAME OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL<\/h5>\r\n<p>Mr. Chisholm says he has been over the whole road and remembers every foot of it from the time his mother landed here in 1857 and that there has never been a time in that sixty-two years when a man can buy and pay for his home in Grayson county more easily than he can right now.  He calls attention to the fact that in the years gone by the farming tools were not sufficient to enable a man to really cultivate a crop even on a small scale, also to the low prices for farm products in times gone by\r\n.<\/p><p>\r\nThe crops sold from some of Mr. Chisholm's farm last year brought a return of over $100 per acre, and Mr. Chisholm says this crop was made with less effort and really cost no more to produce than many of the crops he has raised for which he received only eight or ten dollars per acre.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Chisholm says that every man who is willing to stick to the job as the men and women of forty years ago had to do to get a living can much more easily acquire homes now than they were acquired in those days.  He says homes have never grown on trees, but have always had to be earned and built through intelligent, persistent effort.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":1512,"art_date":null,"art_category":"trs-creeks","art_title":"Choctaw Creek","art_title_sort":"Choctaw Creek","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/tshaonline.org\/handbook\/online\/articles\/rbcdx","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1480,"art_date":null,"art_category":"trs-bridges","art_title":"Choctaw Creek Bridge","art_title_sort":"Choctaw Creek Bridge","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/jenikirbyhistory.getarchive.net\/topics\/choctaw+creek","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":304,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Christmas Eve on North Main (Van Alstyne, Texas)","art_title_sort":"Christmas Eve on North Main (Van Alstyne, Texas)","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":840,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-wills","art_title":"James Chuffin *","art_title_sort":"Chuffin, James *","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"DATE: 1853<br>HEIRS: <br>SOURCE: The Standard, March 26, 1853"},{"art_id":1308,"art_date":null,"art_category":"org","art_title":"Church Women United ~ Denison","art_title_sort":"Church Women United ~ Denison","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/GatheredTogether\/ORGANIZATION\/ChurchWomenUnited\/ChurchWomenUnited.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1309,"art_date":null,"art_category":"org","art_title":"Civic League ~ Sherman","art_title_sort":"Civic League ~ Sherman","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/GatheredTogether\/ORGANIZATION\/CivicLeague_Sherman\/CivicImprovement.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":305,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Claiming Their Land : Women Homesteaders in Texas","art_title_sort":"Claiming Their Land : Women Homesteaders in Texas","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":64,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Lafayette W.

CLARKE<\/b> is the owner of one of the fine and productive farms of Grayson county not far from the city of Denison and his property presents a splendid and attractive appearance because of the excellent crops produced along agricultural and horticultural lines. It is an indication of man's triumph over nature, or rather shows how the two forces may go hand in hand, producing the best results.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Clarke is a native of Michigan, born in 1840, and is a representative of one of the oldest families of New England, his original American ancestor having come to the new world on the Mayflower. His parents were Ebenezer and Sarah A. (Wood) Clarke. The father was twice married, his first union being with Miss Jemima Beviere, of New York, by whom he had two children, one yet living, Henry G. Clarke, who resides in Michigan. By the second marriage there were seven children, namely: Lafayette, Sarah, Jemima, Charles, Burdette, Jennie and Clemence. The father was a lawyer by profession but not finding practice at the bar congenial, he turned his attention to merchandising and became one of the early prominent and honored settlers of Oakland county, Michigan, the village of Clarkston being named in his honor. He died in Michigan at the age of fifty-six years, the mother passing away in Texas at the age of sixty-five years while visiting her son Lafayette, her remains being interred in the cemetery at Sherman.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLafayette W. Clarke was reared under the parental roof, his boyhood days being divided between play and work, and after the outbreak of the Civil war he responded to the country's call for troop, enlisting in 1864 in the Ninth Michigan Cavalry as second lieutenant. He was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant in the same regiment and served for eighteen months as a loyal defender of the Union cause, being mustered out in North Carolina on the 21st of July, 1865.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhen the war was over Mr. Clarke became a resident of Missouri, where he purchased a farm and made his home for a few years. On the 12th of November, 1872, he arrived in Denison, Texas, and was soon afterward joined by his family, at which time they took up their abode in Sherman. There he was engaged in the ice business for ten years and with others established an ice plant in Denison under the firm name of the Arctic Ice Company, Mr. Clarke becoming general manager of the business. He established ten different agencies in as many towns in this part of the country and traveled quite extensively for the company in introducing its product and managing its business interests. He was the active member of the firm and it was largely due to his capable control that an extensive and profitable business was developed, but at length he retired from that line of manufacture.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1880 Mr. Clarke was engaged in contracting and building in Sherman and so continued successfully until 1883. In the latter year he removed to where he now resides, about two and a half miles southwest of Denison, where he has one hundred and twenty acres of valuable land, of which ninety acres is under cultivation, being largely devoted to fruit raising. This farm is conveniently located two and a half miles from Denison in the Hyde Park district and Mr. Clarke has one of the finest apple orchards in the southwest, containing about three thousand trees. These are seven years old and bear a good crop almost every year. He also has five thousand peach trees; and in fact forty acres is devoted to fruit growing, including pears, apples, peaches and plums. Around the greater part of his farm he has a hedge fence of plum trees, which bear a good crop each year, so that he usually markets several hundred bushels annually. He sent several bushels of Jonathan apples to the Texas exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition at St. Louis in 1904 and they received flattering attention from fruit growers from all parts of the country, being pronounced as fine as any shown. Mr. Clarke produces practically everything that can be grown in any country and obtains a profitable yield of everything which he plants. His land is very productive, lays well and is well watered and drained. He is gradually improving the farm and continually adding to his orchard and berry production and at the same time he annually sells a large amount of garden produce.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn the 9th of December, 1863, was celebrated the marriage of Lafayette W. Clarke and Miss Helen R. McClennan, a daughter of William E. and Emeline (Miller) McClennan. Her mother, who was born September 4, 1809, is still living, making her home with Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, but the father, who was born January 18, 1804, died in 1881 at the age of seventy-seven years. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke have two sons and three daughters: Grace, who is the wife of George Odell and has one child, Florence; Burt S., who married Leonia Lallier and has three sons and two daughters, Gladys, Leon, Frank, Kenneth and Esther; Florence, who is at home; Henry N., who married Emma Leslie and has three children, Margaret, Joan and Nelson; and Nellie L., who is the wife of Samuel R. Hollingsworth.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn his political views Mr. Clarke is a stalwart and earnest Republican and was nominated for the legislature by his party in the fall of 1904. He is a member of Oglesby Post, G. A. R., of Dallas, Texas, and also of the Masonic fraternity. He is doing much to demonstrate the value of Texas soil for fruit production and is promoting the general prosperity while advancing individual interests. His salient characteristics are his strength of purpose, his unremitting diligence and his determination to carry forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes, for in his business career he brooks no obstacles that can be overcome by determined energy and honorable labor.\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":65,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Sam P Clark","art_title_sort":"Clark, Sam Porter","art_contributor":"12","art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"<h5>Samuel Porter Clark<br>1869 - 1962<\/h5>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>Samuel Porter Clark was born September 12, 1869, in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tennessee.

He married Emma Lou Hawkins (1869\u20131937) in Greenville, Hunt County, in 1894.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nWithin two years, the young couple had located in Denison, Grayson County, Texas. The 1896 Denison City Directory listed Sam, age 27, as a salesman at William H. Brown's Cash Dry Goods Store at 319 West Main Street. The store sold clothing and shoes for men and women. Sam lived at 824 West Main.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIn downtown Denison, merchants tended to shift locations and partners often. The 1901 City Directory listed Sam P. Clark and Alex L. Douglass (\"merchant tailors, men's furnishers, hats\") at 229 West Main Street. A \"merchant tailor\" was \"a tailor who keeps and sells materials for the garments which he makes.\" Sam was living at 729 West Chestnut Street.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**clark_store_interior.jpg*Store owned by Samuel Porter Clark<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"paper\">Clark & Douglass, Tailors and Furnishers.<br>\r\nRobinson, Frank M., comp.

He was vice president of the Mystic Fraternity of the World, Inc. With him were William A. Bomar, president; John W. Hearon, secretary; A. C. Wilson, treasurer; and H. L. McLaurin, medical directory. Offices were at 427 Wilson Building. Sam roomed at 200 McKinney Avenue. The Mystic Fraternity sounds like a start-up fraternal organization, but it does not appear in lists of such groups. These can be providers of insurance coverage; however, the Mystic is not in the directory's professional listing of insurance agents.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nBy 1910, Sam was a traveling salesman for Ras Hackett, a merchandise broker at 806 Wilson Building. Five years later, he was working for Southland Trading Company and rooming on Pearl Street. He listed himself in the 1920 Census as a clothing merchant. In 1930, he was a catalog agent for Pool Manufacturing Company.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nSam's wife Emma passed away in Dallas on 26 May 1937.

He later opened his quality station across the avenue, but later worked for his son, when Buddy returned to Denison in 1957 and bought the J. B. Armsworthy Grocery Store at 917 South Crockett, and the slogan \u201cShop Clays It Pays\" was born and seen around the city until recent times. The old structure was built in the late 1870\u2019s by C. E. and Catherine Jett and M. A. and Ellie Jacobs built next door.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>J. E.

It wasn't too long however, Clay decided to open a second store, then three, four, and on until he was operating ten stores over the city In 1972, Stop and Go made a deal with Clay to lease his companies, and Buddy went into the ice business first out on Lake Texoma Highway, and finally building a new Lakeview Ice building on the site of the old Levi building at Houston and Gandy in 1980. The Clay name was soon returned to the store fronts of a number of Denison buildings, when Buddy's son Bob began operations of numerous stores.

That lion of a heart stopped beating at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 22, 1995, in the presence of his immediate family and his minister. All the kind words in the world cannot fill the hole that is in our hearts. But since my Pop was not one to dwell on anything negative, we shall do what countless widows and daughters before us have done and that is to carry on as best we can.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe earliest memories are those of being at The Denison Herald. Unlike many young fathers today who leave before their children are awake and arrive home in time for a bedtime kiss, my dad wanted me at work with him as often as I could be there. My elementary education was often interrupted by my dad bursting through the door, having a whispered conversation with my teacher and then swooping me out for an adventure. My classmates were green with envy. Sometimes there was a circus passing through town on its way to its winter home or maybe a record fish had been caught at the lake. It didn\u2019t really matter what the story was because Dad, while valuing formal education, always felt that something could be learned from every situation.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA colleague of his said recently to me that John was the only person she knew who could go out for the afternoon and come back with 50 stories. Personally, I think she underestimated. His mind never stopped thinking of angles, rewrites or new ideas. He was a journalist\u2019s journalist. He knew who to call, what to call, what to ask and what to write.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe worked long and hard. When the cancer pain would have-stopped mere mortals in their tricks, he got up, went to work and put out the paper. He did this, not just out of a sense of loyalty to his employer of 50 years, but more importantly out of love. He simply loved his job.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThere aren\u2019t many of them left. Those crusty old newsmen who knew how to sniff out a story have gone the way of the dinosaur, eliminated by the technology of today. What a sad passing. It was my good fortune to have known two of these honest-to-goodness stop-the-presses newsmen. One, Claud Easterly, went happily into retirement right on schedule, letting words like deadline, scoop and special edition slip from his vocabulary. He and my father shared an extraordinary career and friendship. He was and always will be my most special fella. At last report he was being fitted for his first tux so he can dance at his granddaughter\u2019s wedding.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMy father, however, chose to keep working and was at the office the day before his 79th birthday, taking care of business as usual.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe gifts he gave us were priceless. My sister, Stephanie, had the great good fortune to work with Dad on many projects and they were such a team! He had a unique and supportive relationship with us both.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe light of his life of course, was my mother. Over the years, with her gentle guidance, he learned to appreciate a quiet stroll through a museum, the beauty of flowers, the pleasures of friendships, the comfort of a Sunday sermon and the satisfaction of a meal prepared with imagination and love. He learned to write of beautiful silver as easily as sand bass.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhen Stephanie and I were too old to go on adventures with Pop, he was ready for the next generation. My children, Addison and Kiki, were willing victims to his schemes. They\u2019ve fished, hunted, picked peaches, visited Indian burial grounds, race tracks and miniature circuses. And for each adventure, the reward was a picture in the paper. They got so used to it that they would barely glance at the accompanying story. I guess they thought all grandfathers wrote about grandchildren in local newspapers.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMuch will be and should be mentioned of all my father did for Lake Texoma, Texas wines and this entire portion of North Texas. He was a promoter and an idea man. But he had other jobs that were even more important to him. He was a loyal friend, devoted husband and loving father and grandfather. That is what counted to him.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA few months ago, a dear friend gave him a T-shirt. It hung in his closet where it was the first thing he saw in the morning and the last thing he saw at night. It read, \"Don't give up. Don't ever give up.\" He never did.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nGodspeed, Dearest Papa.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"right\"><b>Kyra Clift Bowman<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"right\"><a href=\"images\/bio_images\/Ltr_C\/clift_john-1.png\" target=\"_blank\">View original article.\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_bio_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>John Clift was a shining example for journalists everywhere to follow.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHis determination not to let a serious illness keep him from his life's work, his family and friends is an inspiration to all who knew him.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn lost his courageous two-year battle with cancer Sunday morning leaving behind a heritage of strength and spirit and friendships from the California wine country to the smallest community in Southern Okla&shyhoma. John learned he was suffering from the dread disease after undergoing surgery in the spring of 1993, but never allowed the illness to get in the way of his zest for life, family or career.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn was one of those enviable newsmen who could stop for lunch in a country store on his Texomaland beat and come back to the office with at least five stories. He was on a first name basis with every sheriff, judge, school superintendent; city-clerk and city manager in Southern Oklahoma and North Texas. And he could sniff out a story frequently before all participants knew about it.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLake Texoma was always John's playground and he wrote hundreds of stories promoting the lake and its resorts. In fact, he was once cited for having written more words about Lake Texoma than any other person.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAn avid outdoorsman, he not only worked to bring fishing tournaments to Texoma, but fished in a few of the larger tournaments held from coast to coast.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhile the newspaper office is where John spent many hours every weekday up to a week before his death, his talents weren't limited to newswriting. He authored the first comprehensive book on fresh water striper fishing, inspired by his interest in Lake Texoma, he edited two outdoors magazines, contributed hundreds of outdoors articles to leading outdoor publications and wrote \"Once in a Hundred Years,\" marking the first time Lake Texoma flowed over its spillway.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn his later career, John became interested in viticulture and the wine industry and wrote a weekly column, \"The Wine Rack,\u201d which was also circulated to other Donrey newspapers. He travelled to the California wine country annually researching material for his columns.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nVisitors to the Herald will miss John\u2019s familiar smile as they pass his desk at the front of the newsroom. He will be remembered as a tough newsman with a soft heart for family, friends and those in need. He will remain a shining example of spirit and determination for those with life-threatening illnesses.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLet's all raise our glasses high for one last time in a salute to this unforgettable gentleman, journalist and friend.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"right\"><b>Donna Hunt<br>Former editor<\/b><\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"right\"><a href=\"images\/bio_images\/Ltr_C\/clift_john_2.png\" target=\"_blank\">View original article.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":67,"art_date":null,"art_category":"!fam","art_title":"Henry Sherman Clountz","art_title_sort":"Clountz, Henry Sherman","art_contributor":"25","art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":"69|0","art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"<foto>photo*fam*center**clountz_henry_florence_pic.jpg*Henry Sherman Clountz & Florence Cook Clountz at his dad's place in Overton.<br>ca 1928<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<foto>*fam*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*fam*center**clountz_land_payment.jpg*Land Payment.<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<foto>*fam*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*fam*center**clountz_family.jpg*L-R: Henry Sherman Clountz, Natalie Denise Webster Clountz, Florence Cook Clountz<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*fam*center**clountz_florence_natalie_pic.jpg*L-R: Florence Cook Clountz; Natalie Denise Clountz<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*fam*center**clountz_milk_cow.jpg*Florence milking cow<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":68,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fam","art_title":"Marion & Nancy Clountz","art_title_sort":"Clountz, Marion & Nancy","art_contributor":"25","art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":"0|69","art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"<div>\r\n<h5>Clountz Family of Grayson County<\/h5>\r\n\r\n<foto>*fam*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto><br>\r\n\r\n<p><sa>Marion Clountz<\/sa>, b. 25 March 1845, Greene County, Ohio; d. 3 June 1918, Grayson County, Texas, s\/o William M Clountz & Anna Blair, m.Nancy Hoover 20 February 1872.<\/p>\r\n<p><sa>Nancy Hoover<\/sa>, b. 10 July 1852, Virginia; d. 26 December 1923, Grayson Co., Texas d\/o Thomas Nicholas Hoover & Sally Mowry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Children of Marion Clountz & Nancy Hoover<\/h5>\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:square;\">\r\n<li>WALTER THOMAS CLOUNTZ &mdash; b. 26 Feb 1874, Green Co., Ohio; d. 4 Dec 1955, Denison, Grayson Co, TX; m.

After four years of faithful service at Jackson, he was urged to come to Texas and preside over the destinies of Austin College. Although so recently installed in his new office, he has taken hold of matters to such a way to give evidence that he understands the situation and is alive to the exigencies of his work. In full harmony with his faculty as a scholarly, tactful, consecrated leader, already ingratiated into the affection of the community in which he labors; already commanding the esteem and confidence of his board of trustees, and possessed of the good will of the church at large; it is easy to predict that with his administration begins a new era for Austin College.

His father, Roswell Lyman Cobb (1817\u20131901), and his mother, Ellen Sophia Howard (1822\u20131891), along with several children, worked together on the family farm. After the Civil War, the Cobbs moved to a different farm, in Andover, Allegheny County, New York. There they stayed while son Charles, in 1873, went off to Ithaca to enroll at Cornell University.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nAfter completing his Bachelor of Science degree at Cornell in 1877, Charles went to law school at the University of Michigan, earning his law degree in 1879. That year he was admitted to the bar in Michigan, and he practiced law in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, from 1879 to 1884. He married Icy Jane Van Vleck (1854\u20131920) in West Schuyler, Herkimer County, New York, on December 21, 1880, and brought her back to Eaton Rapids. Charles left the practice of law and went into banking there from 1884 to 1890.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIt seems likely that, at this point, Charles moved his family south to Denison, Texas. The 1891 Denison City Directory listed him as president of the National Bank of Denison. He was living on the south side of West Woodard Street, between Perry and Tone avenues.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nThe National Bank of Denison was the town's earliest chartered bank, being established shortly after Denison was founded in 1872. At the end of 1873, Harrison Tone said the bank was the only national bank within 200 miles. By 1881, J. M. Ford was heading the bank and built a fine new edifice at 231 West Main Street, at the northeast corner of Rusk Avenue. Initially the structure was called the \"First National Bank\" or \"Ford Building.\" One source says the bank was reorganized in 1882.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nA promotional brochure written by Lee Linn in 1887 said that this bank was one of two in town, noting, \"The First National was reorganized a short time since and its capital stock increased from $50,000 to $150,000. In its newly organized state, the First National affords a notable illustration of the confidence Eastern capitalists are exhibiting in Denison enterprises.\" Maybe it was a good time for new leadership.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nBy 1896, Cobb was living in a nice home at 1105 West Bond Street. He and Icy were to have three daughters\u2014Myra V. Cobb Ousley (1881\u20131950), Abbie Willis Cobb (1883\u2013?), and Icy Ellen Cobb Violet (1887\u20131975). Myra graduated from Denison's Educational Institute in the Class of 1899, while Abbie was in the Class of 1900. Abbie attended Cornell University, her father's alma mater, and became a teacher in St. Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**cobb_home_1105_w_bond.jpg*1105 West Bond Street<br>\r\nHome of Charles S.

Both were buried under imposing markers in Fairview Cemetery in Denison.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nBetween 1890 and 1913, Charles Cobb was listed in the City Directories of Denison, Texas; Muskogee, Oklahoma; and St. Louis, Missouri. He seems to have had business interests in a number of places. In Denison, in 1901 he was listed as president of both the National Bank of Denison and the Denison Driving Park and Fair Association. Two years later, he was president not only of the bank but also of the Denison Grocer Company; and treasurer of the Denison Trust Company.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIt seems likely that John B. McDougall was an associate of Charles S. Cobb in some of his Denison ventures. In 1905, McDougall was a founder of the Denison Bank and Trust. He also joined Walter S. Hibbard in creating the Denison Grocer Company; the 1907 City Directory listed McDougall as the firm's vice president. In addition, McDougall helped found the State National Bank, 300 West Main Street; and Southwestern Surety Insurance Company.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIn 1909, the Denison City Directory listed James Boyd and his wife Sallie also living at 1105 West Bond Street. Boyd continued to live there until his death in 1927. This may suggest that the Cobbs began to disengage from Denison around 1909.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nFollowing his wife's death in 1920, Charles seems to have left Denison for good, moving to Des Moines, Iowa. He remarried (to Bess W. Martin), traveled to Europe, then settled in St. Louis. He died there on January 15, 1939.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**cobb_home_2005.jpg*1105 West Bond Street<br>ca. 2005<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<h5>Charles Simeon Cobb<\/sa><\/h5>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><b>Source:<\/b> <i>The Book of St. Louisans: A Biographical Dictionary of Leading Living Men of the City of St. Louis and Vicinity, 2d ed.

One of those wagons carried the household belongings of a Northern widow - widow of a missionary, who with her two small sons were on their way to a new home,  new surroundings, new hardships, and new difficulties to a tract of land located in the northern part of the State of Texas - Grayson County - to what was to be Collinsville.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nThis widow was Mrs. Lodoweska Collins from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her husband, Rev. Walter D. Collins, missionary of the Methodist church, had been superintendent of education for the Cherokee and Choctaw Indians. It was while aiding her husband in his work in the Indian Territory that Mrs. Collins became vastly interested in the promotion of education. It was here that her two sons, Alpheus R. and Charles Collins were born.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nMr. & Mrs. Collins had planned to make the long journey to their new home in the Southwest together but Mr. Collin's health failed and he had to give up his work with the Indians and return to Ann Arbor, where he died.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nMrs. Collins remained in Ann Arbor, Michigan, teaching so that her sons might have better educational advantages until after the Civil War.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nOn her arrival in Grayson County, she immediately took up her philanthropy work. Here she opened and taught, at her own expense, the first free school in the state of Texas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*left**collins_a_r_pic.jpg*Alpehus Remember Collins<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>Mrs. Collins sons grew to manhood, entered various business enterprises and were successful. Alpheus R. Collins drew off and gave the community the town site that is Collinsville today. Before this time the town had been called <q>Toadsuck<\/q>. Charles Collins was instrumental in locating the first post office in Collinsville.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIn 1877, Mrs. Collins accompanied her son, Charles, to California where he died. She returned and for a time made her home with Mr. and Mrs. John Dorchester at Sherman before going to live with her other son, Alpheus, who had moved to Denison and married Miss Hattie Daugherty of that city. The Daugherty family moved from Michigan where the two young people had met at Albion College where they both were students at that institution.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nMrs. Collins' later years were spent in church and social welfare work in Denison. She died at the home of her son in 1960. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal Church, North; interment was in the Fairview cemetery, Denison, Texas.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nAlpehus Remember Collins became one of the most prominent and successful men of Denison.

Died over there. But they brought him back here and buried him at Georgetown and Annie his wife was about three or four weeks ago that she died and they brought her over here. Now John's boy lives down here on Walker Street. He works at the tire plant, I think. Murray.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Murray Brogdon.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>He's better now and able to work, but he did have some kind of cancer trouble and he went to Dallas and was taking treatments down there, but someone told me not long ago that he was able and was working.

She still lived at Durant and died there in Durant. Undertakers had charge of the body and everything. But Annie was getting up, I guess she was getting way up into the 80's.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I saw her one time, I remember seeing her &hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Her name was Armstrong. There was several, five of the girls, Armstrong. Annie was the oldest one. But she's the only one that's living.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I wanted to ask you about the Phillips that raised your dad, or took him in. Is one of his boys the one you're talking about being in Corsicana and buying a house with your dad?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>No. Uncle Burt, mother's brother, Burt Banks. And they come through Denison here when they was just surveying the streets and all of that black land around Sherman out there was a dollar and a half an acre. That's what it sold for. They went down around Corsicana and went out east of Corsicana and Uncle Burt bought quite a bit of acreage, just raw land. There was some timber on it and he and dad went and cut logs enough and built a house there. When Uncle Burt died and me and __________ went to the funeral and that house was there and everything and they built on the north side of it a lumber house. And there was a little old bench sitting out there on the south porch that dad made&hellip; and the wash pan dad had made when he was there so that he could wash outside on the porch there. It was still there.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>This Brogdon graveyard, is it close to the lake there?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, it's not too far from the lake.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I just wondered how close it was to the place where Dad's father and mother had, is it close to it?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yes. It ain't too far, and right down north of the graveyard there at Uncle Blue's place, you know, went off in rough land, you know, a big spring was down there and the James boys, that was one of their headquarters when they came through this country, and old man Albert Brogdon told me that he went down there lots of nights and stayed with them after they found out who he was, he would go down there and visit with them.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, that's been a while ago, hasn't it?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yes, that's been a long time. Let me tell you another thing that happened &hellip; Emmet wanted me to come to Joplin, [MO] &hellip; when I lived here I raised hogs, I liked to fool with hogs &hellip; and this place he bought had hog pens on it. Well, I sold out and went up there. After I got up there, he had talked to somebody that knew the place and was going into the hog business and that's why I didn't ought to do it. Said it was a lot of hogs used to be raised there and had died with a lot of cholera and the germs were probably still there in the ground and I figure that one of those cholera germs, you know, you could take cholera and so we decided not to and I worked on the farm there. One day Quantrill's last man come into Joplin and in the northwest part and someone seen him come into the house that knew him and they phoned the chief of police and he got an officer and two detectives and they were to come out there and get him. Well, they were coming along and these two detectives would look behind them and see that the chief and his party was coming along. They got within about three or four blocks from the house and the chief's car never did show up and so the record was, now these detectives stopped and they said <q>Well, what will we do? Will we go on up there and get him, or will we go back.<\/q> One of them said, <q>Let's go get him.<\/q> One of them said <q>I'll take the north door, you take the south door.<\/q> and they rushed up there, jumped out of the car, one ran around to the north door, the other to the south door and the north door one &hellip; this Quantrill man was in the north room&hellip; and he shoved the door in and he shot at this guy and it went through his hat. At that time the south door detective he had shoved the door in and he ran in there and shot this guy down and he fell across the bed. They said that they held their guns on him about ten minutes because he still had his gun in his hand and they thought might just be a possom, you know, but then they decided that he was dead and they called the undertaker and they came out and got him. And we went up to town some nights to the show. And every night we went up there, we went by the funeral home and seen this guy. They advertised for any of his relatives or friends that wanted him, you know, but nobody ever did claim him and finally the city buried him. That was the last of Quantrill's gang.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>And that's been a while ago too, hasn't it?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yeah.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I think that may have been before my time, I'm not sure.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>But old man Albert would go down there and stay with the James boys for two or three nights out of the week while they was camped down there.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>It seems to me like I heard Mom telling about how your dad got grazed by a bullet in the civil war. Did your dad get grazed by a bullet in the civil war?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Never did.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I was thinking she said he did. I couldn't remember.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>He never did. And all the guns that they had to fight with was a little bitty old gun they had to mold the bullet and they had the powder and you had to load it like a musket. It was about that long. And every time they'd shoot it they'd have to reload it. And they lay behind trees, you know, and they'd load it and then shoot at the enemy. And dad said that there was this one fellow that went from Arkansas there that was friendly and whenever he'd shoot at them he'd stick his hand back behind the stump or tree, you know, and motion at them to come on. But there's two places that dad was in big battles. One of them was at Pea Ridge.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Pea Ridge, Arkansas<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yes. It was the first station out of Missouri into Arkansas. And the other one was a Prairie Grove. Them was the two biggest battles he was in. And when I was up at Joplin one time I came back through this Prairie Grove and just a locked building there was all it was. And it was in just a grove of little elm trees. The rest of it all the way around it was prairie and that's why they call it Prairie Grove. And you could see the dent of a cannon ball where they hit that store. But then they would get to where they got into it.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, they've got a big monument there at Pea Ridge.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>They have?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>They have a big, oh, kind of a museum type thing.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>[unintelligible] and that first big town was a town the size of Missouri. It was right on the Arkansas line.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>They've got a place there that they've got some cannons out &hellip; it's a building with kind of a museum &hellip; and then they've got a cannon or two out there on the lawn.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, Ralph, we come through there whenever we come back. We missed Prairie Grove. And we come through there and got a lot of pictures of that. That wasn't Pea Ridge.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, there's one up there at Pea Ridge, Arkansas. It's right down there close to Eureka.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Pea Ridge the way that dad give it was the first little town inside of Missouri. Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove was two of the biggest battles that he was in. He said lots of times they was hungry, you know, hadn't had nothing to eat for a day or two and they'd stop and kill a yearling and they'd skin it and then cut them off a piece and eat it raw, you know. And he said that lots of times they had to get and leave it, the enemy was so close to them and all, that they just got up and left the yearling. He said that they killed lots of calves and all to get something to eat &hellip; eat it raw.\r\nMaybe that's the reason I like raw meat, you reckon? Mom used to have a time keeping me away from especially raw hamburger and stuff like that. I'd get a mouthful of it. Of course, I'd eat about anything anyway, though. Still do, for that matter<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I've always wondered what civil war battles he was in, but I never did know. I don't guess mom ever did know which ones.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, we down when Uncle Burt died. He had a boy and a girl. Tom said to Lynch, that was the boy, said <q>Lynch, what did Uncle Burt do with that little gun that he went to<\/q> and Lynch said that its up there over the door, you know, and he said <q>Do you want it?<\/q> and Tom said <q>Yeah.<\/q> And he went and got it and gave it to Tom. Tom came on home and he had a grandson that was in the service and he gave it to him and he swapped it off to somebody in the Army because it it was &hellip; to have it would be a great thing &hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>He didn't realize what the history was behind it&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>No, sure didn't&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>That's the way kids are &hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>But dad said that when they was breaking this land out there there was a lot of prairie chickens and Uncle Burt would take that little old gun and kill 'em and <q>et<\/q> em &hellip; people et 'em. They et lots of 'em. And they would follow along in the rut of the plow and get the worms and Uncle Burt was a dead shot, he said, on them. They et lots of prairie chickens. They was in droves then down there.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I doubt if there's a prairie chicken &hellip; not very many prairie chickens in state of Texas now, is there. There's a lot of them in Kansas and Iowa &hellip; and there's not very many in Missouri, though.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>They had pretty good sized ones.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I don't know whether you remember or not &hellip; about the time you was up there one time, though, we was trying to raise some pheasants, to turn loose, you know, and never did do any good. But they've got pheasants out in Kansas, northern Kansas. Her brother has just pheasant hunting and that's how come me to overindulge yesterday. He'd cooked us up a bunch of pheasants. Really good.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Ralph, just looking at you, you know, you don't look to be as healthy as you was when you was here before.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I'm a little older, Pat.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, I know it, but you're showing it, too.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">\r\nOla Mae:\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>He's been in the hospital, Pat.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I was in the hospital nine days &hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Nine days&hellip; I've been in the hospital all my life eleven days.

I was born in '84 &hellip; the 12th of April. Born here at Denison and I lived in and around Denison all my life with the exception of about two years and a half, or something like that, we was up at Joplin. And all of us kids have been just right close to each other here, save Mary. She went up to Kentucky and stayed about three months and she came back. And with the exception of that, all us kids has been here from within I'd say from a mile to not over 20 miles in a circle, you know. Uncle Burt, when he come up to visit, he said that <q>I never seen kids stay as close together as Ann's children have.<\/q> &hellip; That was her name. Well, she requested that and that's what she done. And when she died, before she died, she said <q>Wid, keep the children all together.<\/q> And he did. And we used to, back at that old home place there in Arkansas&hellip; Tom was old enough and he'd go galavanting at night&hellip; and a lot of times John, he'd go somewhere. Well, us kids &hellip; everything was rail fence, there wasn't no barbed wire&hellip; us kids would go get in the corners in the rail fence, you know, and sit there until we got sleepy and then we'd go into the house and we'd go to bed. And our supper was mush and milk.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>It's still a good supper, isn't it&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yes sir. That's what we had for supper. And when we was up there and all, the old house was just the same only Mr. Smith had bought it. It had a big basement over there, you know, and it had a trap door over here in the northwest corner of the living room. And they'd go open that door and they'd go down the steps, there. Had apples, cabbage and everything stored down there in the winter&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Was that in Huntsville, Pat?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>No, in Hinesville. And Smith had closed it and made an entrance out here on the south side with steps and a concrete walk down into there, you know &hellip; and the garden was right north of the house and it was still there and everybody there [unintelligible] and they've got a row or two of ______ in the garden and the [unintelligible] was still there, you know. I know dad said one time they was thrashing, you know, and his mother was a widow lady and him and his mother lived together and they was thrashing and they had dinner there at their place at that time.

And Eddick and Willie Morton lived out close to west of Pottsborough and they'd always go by to see them. And they didn't come. Someone was here and said <q>Pat, did you Mary and Beaulah when they was here<\/q> and I said <q>No, they didn't come.<\/q> Said <q>they was here alright because I seen them in Tulksville[?].<\/q> But they didn't come see me and I haven't heard from them. One day I was working out there at the cemetery and all and there was a man and a woman come down while I was there. And they said <q>Do you know where Earl Baker's grave is?<\/q> and I said <q>Yes, sure I do.<\/q> And I said <q>Who are you all?<\/q> and she was one of the twins. And they lived in Wisconsin and I took them down and showed them Earl's grave. There was all five of them &hellip; they had five children, two twins, a set of twins, and there wasn't either one of them lived in the same state.\r\nWell, last I knew they were all scattered.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Raymond, he had done retired out of service, but his wife was still in service but had so many years to go before she retired.

Well Burt, my nephew by Tom and all, had a full lot of twelve graves and he didn't need them. And I had taken her out to Burt and Burt sold her half of his lot&hellip; he give fifteen and he sold her half, told her she could have it for seven and a half. And she never did pay him. Whenever Earl died and all, he was buried in there on the half lot that Burt let her have. And she put Earl over here on a little old tradition way of burying is face to east, man on the right, woman on the left. Well, whenever they buried Earl she had a space left north of Earl and I figured it all the time that she had it there for Mary, but I don't know. But Earl is just buried up there. So several years ago, I don't know who did it, I figured it was Raymond, he come through here and all, and he bought a headrock about that high, and about that wide and about that thick and never put anything on it but <q>father Baker\". That' all he put on it.

Herbert was in the burglar alarm business and he came down to Wichita Falls for a while then he moved back to Amarillo. He was in Amarillo the last I heard. He was still running&hellip; the guy that he had worked for, he had bought him out. I hadn't seen him for several years but he was in awful bad health.

And he went over here west of what used to be the Sloan[?] railroad, you know, and bought quite an acreage over there and was going to put up units, houses you know, and rent them out. Well, he got Burt Brady, his brother in law there at Gordonville. Burt was pretty wealthy you know, and Burt went on his note to buy them. And, by golly, he stayed over here not too long and he went back to Hawaii and he left &hellip; Burt had to buy that land, you know. He was on the note for it.

Henry L., we believe, was divorced from his first wife, Josie, nee Bacon, and it was she that married the Stephens sometime around 1890 .

And if he didn't come down in a day or two we'd go see about him. We went up there one evening late to see about him and he was in misery and all. And, so we called Dr. Greer at Gordonville. He got up and come down. Cold, boy it was cold. And he come down there and all the way of coming he had was in a one-horse cart.

His father died and he lived &hellip; him and his mother lived together &hellip; for maybe two years and then she remarried. And when she did he left home and he come over to Huntsville, Arkansas and Uncle Jim Phillips owned quite a little land there, you know. And he had five boys, four boys. And he'd taken dad in and just raised him as one of the boys, you know. And he lived there with them until the war broke out. Him and mother was going together and they agreed between each other that if he got out of the service and all that they would marry. And he got out of the service and all and they married. And then they come to Texas here and come through Dennison when it was just being surveyed off. And they went on down to Corsicana and went on out east of Corsicana and Uncle Burt bought several acres of land down there, raw land. And they cut logs and made a log house there. And then got lumber and made a side room on the north of it. And they cut that in cultivation. Some of it was, but some of it was but some timber and they put that in cultivation and dad made one crop down there and they he come back to Dennison. Uncle Burt stayed on down there and raised his family. He had a boy and a girl and stayed on down there 'til all of them died and all. We went down to Uncle Burt's funeral and all. He was ninety some-odd years old when he died and of course the boy and girl I guess is both dead now and Aunt Mag is dead, you know and I don't know what become of the place. They probably willed it to somebody or something or another. But anyway, Dad said they was building this log house and there was a wild bull out down there, you know. And Uncle Burt was quite a little ways from the house getting something or another, and this here wild bull spied him and made a run at him and all and Dad said he was just bearing. They didn't have a window in the east end of the log house, and he said that Uncle Burt just barely cleared that window when the bull got there. He went right through that window.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, he hit it anyway, didn't he.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yeah. If the thing'd gotten out, it'd kill him.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Then they moved back up to Grayson county. He didn't move up to Grayson county before your mother died, I guess. Did he move back up to Grayson county before your mother died.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yes. And they lived out here Hyde Park and a Doctor got them to sell out and go to a higher altitude and he went up to Huntsville, Arkansas. Back to the old home place. And then he come back down to between Huntsville and Federal and bought a 40 acre little farm and all. And we lived there and mother died there. And then &hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Pat, is she buried there?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yes. She's buried at Hinesville. I went up there a few years ago and seen her and _______[Gilrith's?] graves, you know. And whenever we had that place there was an orchard right east of the house there of three different kinds of apples: Ben Davis, Winesap and something else. And we'd put them down in that basement and keep them. The house was about maybe 200 yards off of the road &hellip; east of the road, you know. And big cherry trees on each side of the walkway up there. And the cherries, they was big as quarters. And us kids had a time keeping the birds out of there &hellip; from eating them. Boy, they was really fine and all. But the orchard was all gone, the cherry trees was all gone. The cellar was made out here where you went into the cellar.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Did they raise any grapes up there at that time, or do you remember?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I don't know. I never seen a grape. But Maude's brother lived just about a half a mile from us right on south down the road and they had three girls and a boy. Me and Clyde, the boy, was just about the same age and size and we used to sit out in the corners of the railed fence and made cornsilk horses. We was just two little old kids, you know. And since Clyde got grown he went to west Texas and got into some oil company. I've tried a number of times to ask fellows that I've seen from out in there if they ever knew him. One fellow said <q>I knew of him, but I never did know him.<\/q> So, I guess Uncle Fate moved to up here in Reneta, Oklahoma.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Is that the Boatwright end, where the Boatwright came in?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>No, Uncle John Boatwright, he died down here at &hellip; oh, what's the name of that place&hellip; they came from Arkansas over there&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>There was a Boatwright that had a big store, a department store in Veneta. I was thinking you and mom and Sade and Chloe stopped there and talked to them<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, the Boatwright's was related to the family in a way, but this here &hellip; oh, I can't think of the name of it now &hellip; is down here and then it went all over into Arkansas&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Fort Gibson?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yeah. And they was there. I never did know what become of the Boatwrights. Never did. They lost trace and moved to Veneta, Oklahoma and the kids come down and visited several times. There was three girls and one boy, Clyde. And they're all dead, I guess.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I never could remember whether the Boatwrights were kin to the Bakers or whether they were kin to the Borens.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>They were kin on my mother's side some way. They wasn't kin to the Bakers but they were related on my stepmother's side. And Jess Boren, my nephew, he drove one by wagon from Arkansas out here. Dad had two wagons and there was nine wagons of us come from Arkansas to Texas. Indian Territory then was Indian territory. It never had become a state. Camping out at night and the Indians over there, there was lots of them and the ugliest humans you ever looked at, and all. And whenever they seen a fire, they'd come to the fire and they all had their horses and saddles and blankets and the women folks was scared to death of them, and all. And they's motion that they wanted something to eat. Well, the men folks would have something fixed for them, give them something to eat. Whenever they 'et they was on their horses and gone. Next morning they was back there for their breakfast. But every night that we stayed in the Indian territory there was some of the menfolks stayed up all night. They didn't go to bed and they just rotated. I forgot how long we was coming through Indian territory. There were nine wagons of us. Jess Boren drove one of dad's wagons out here and he found a job from a man, Stevens out west of town here on a nursery. Worked there several years. Finally married a girl out here at Hyde Park. Then went into raising vegetables and things like that. He was a nervous kind of a fellow and all and he had two girls. &hellip; and it rained, and rained, and rained and ruined his gardens and washed his land and he just got so aggravated he come down here at this spring west of Dennison out here, Katy railroad, up over an underpass, sat down there by a train and shot himself, killed himself. His wife, Effie died about three years ago. I don't know where the girls are living or not.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>He just couldn't take it.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>And then the Borens began to come on up here. They followed Jess up here. Ed come up here. Bought a place down south of Hyde Park out there and then some of the other Borens come out and they went back. Hugh married into the Lamb family. Lamb was pretty wealthy and all. And he got the someplace out here on the road that goes to Laura Lake. Right on the corner. Well, there was a great big oak tree right at the north door of the house. And he got out there, was taking it down. And he got some help and they sawed it down and was trying to twist it around and Newt made a run out this way and the tree twisted around and fell and caught him and killed him. I guess his wife still lives up there at the old someplace. There's lots of things&hellip; I've seen lots of things that's happened here at town since I was here and I remember it just as well as it had been yesterday. Just take Main Street there, you know, Joe Jenkins run a blacksmith shop up there in about the fifth block of Main Street. Dirt streets and dirt road in there. He weighed between two-fifty and three hundred pounds. Big blacksmith. Shod horses, worked on wagons and everything right there on Main Street. Kate Kilgore's down here on Crawford Street. Big two story house there and all. Me and Fulkes Harvey was about the same age. I lived at 1130 West Chestnut, he lived at 1100 Chestnut. And we run together after school hours, when school was out. And we used to go down there. He made bricks. Had a brick [shill??] south of his house there. Out of old red clay. A lot of the clay is still here. And that's been, I guess that's been a hundred years. Because I was just a kid and the buildings was here then. And a lot of buildings that was made of that old red clay just crumbled up, you know.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">\r\nFrancis\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Tell  about that song&hellip; that song that you was telling us about a while ago.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, I told him a while ago.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I was gone out to to get the tape recorder. I didn't get to hear it.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, it was an engineer here. ______? engineer. Bill Lewis and he lived south of the viaduct in a big two-story house. He belonged to the Trinity Methodist Church. And when he was in, off on his run he would get along the steps of the State National Bank down there and and sing and the police would have to keep the traffic moving on the avenue and Main Street to keep it from blocking. People would come to hear him. He was the greatest singer that I ever heard. So, his favorite song was <q>Life's Railway to Heaven.<\/q> We lived out at Hyde Park and the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian would have meetings out there in the summer months and they would get him to come out lots of times and sing. And he'd come sing for either one of the denominations, and all. And here about maybe four, five, six months ago &hellip; I've got up over twenty years about three o'clock every morning. I still wake up at that time. And I don't got back to sleep. Very seldom ever I go back to sleep. And I just lay there and go over my past life. I don't have no future, and I just go there and go over my past life.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Look like you've had a pretty good one.

I don't know why, but that song came to me just as plain as you sitting here. There was three verses and the chorus of it, and it came to me just as plain. And I still know it and all. And I've been thinking to take some of the oldest members of his church out there and tape it off and get a quartet to sing it in memory of him.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, why don't you just sing it for us right now?\r\n\r\n[Pat sings]: Life's railway is like a road to heaven. Make the wrong successful from the cradle to the grave. Always keep in mindful that your hands are on the throttle and your eye's upon the rail. You will oft times find obstruction. Look for storm or wind and rain. On a curve or fill or tunnel they will almost ditch a train. Put your trust alone in Jesus. Never falter, never fail. Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eyes upon the rail. As we go across this trestle, spanning ______ and swelling tide. You remember the Union Depot into which the train will glide. There you'll meet the superintendent. God the Father, God the Son. With the heartiest welcome every pilgrim will come home. Blessed Savior there will guide us til we reach that blissful shore. Where the angels wait to join us in the praise forevermore.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I haven't heard that song in seventy years or long, and all at once it come to me after I woke up one night.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>That's really something.

After dad come back up here from Navarro County he got a job over at Oakwood Cemetery as Sexton. And worked over there quite a while, I don't know how long. My first school was here in Dennison. Houston School. Then we moved out to Hyde Park and me and Sade and Chloe finished our schooling out there. Eighth grade was as high as they taught, and we finished out schooling out there. There was four fellows out there there was Jess Boren, like I told you, and Mr. Ford and Mr. Groman and Mr. Goldman all raised vegetables. And they'd come to Dennison and Sherman and sell them out in the morning. And I went to work for Mr. Ford after school was out, and all, for 40 cents a day. Ten hours, from sun to sun. One hour off at dinner. 40 cents a day. Men were getting seventy-five&hellip; that's top wages. And one day he said to me <q>Patsy,<\/q> (he called me Patsy) he said <q>Patsy, I'm going to give you 75 cents a day.

Then I come down here and went to work for the Katy in 1909 and I went down there and he a little shack out there in the yard and I went out there and I said <q>I'm looking for a job.<\/q> He said, <q>We're not hiring anybody.<\/q> Well, that was in the morning. Noon I went back. I said <q>I'm looking for a job.<\/q> <q>We're not hiring anybody.<\/q> I went back the next morning he says <q>I told you we wasn't hiring anybody.<\/q> I went back the next morning.

They was experienced, they knew. But I never did go back to work.

I worked for them&hellip; I don't know how long&hellip; but anyway, I quit and I went out home. Dad was getting kind of poorly, and I went on home and went to farming and taking care of him and all. Old man Frank Jennings tried to get Eric Borden to persuade me to come back and go to work for them. They'd give me a job going out collecting. They'd go out, and they'd send us out, and we'd go out and buy old second hand furniture, an old stove, you know, with all the rods burned out of it and everything. Give them fifty cents for it, take it in and put in new rods and polish it up and all and they'd sell it anywhere from ten to fifteen dollars. Old man Cody Hubbard ran a store out here on Main Street and he went to California and he give me a job working for him while he was gone to California. And so whenever he come back, Bill Center who run a store here, went into the second hand and new furniture business. So I worked for him and all. Some woman at Pottsboro wanted a coal oil stove. One was advertised, so he sent me out and looked at it. I went out and looked at it and all. She wanted fifteen dollars for it. It needed cleaning up and new wicks in it. I gave her ten dollars and we took it in and they cleaned it up and put new wicks in it, called this woman and she come got it. They got thirty-five dollars for it. Old man Hubbard told me, <q>Pat, I went into the wrong business when I went into the grocery business. If I'd went into the furniture business when I went into the grocery business, I'd have had money to throw away.<\/q> And his boy is running a furniture store down here in town now.

I forgot where&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>He came from Tennessee, I think.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>It was some eastern state and he bought that place down there and give an acre for a Brogdon burying ground.

He's just now got interested in family history.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, there was a woman come here from Lubbock and California and they put up out here at that townhouse motel. And they were hunting an old graveyard by the name of Nobb Hill. And somebody happened to be in there and he heard them and they said <q>You call Pat Baker. If there's a cemetery in this country by the name of Nobb Hill, he'll know it.<\/q> Well, they called me. Made an appointment with them the next day. And we tried, I called everybody&hellip; the oldest people that I could think of&hellip; nobody never heard of Nobb Hill. One neighbor had a funeral out at Georgetown. Early Looney was there. Early was an old resident. And he said <q>Pat, I've got an Uncle buried over there in the old part. I can't find his grave. Do you know where it is?<\/q> I said <q>Yeah, I know just exactly where the Looney headrock is.<\/q> And I said after the funeral I'll take you over there. So we went over there and he said <q>That's him.<\/q> and he told me how long it has been since he realized knowing it. I seen Early then when I was hunting Nobb Hill cemetery, and I said <q>Early, you ever heard of a cemetery being named Nobb Hill?<\/q> He said <q>Yeah.<\/q> and down here on the west of it, you go up a high hill. The road does in the Hyde Park neighborhood. And he said <q>I rode a horse back there many a time up Nobb Hill.<\/q> Well, Joe Hyronimous married a Clark and on the west side of the cemetery it's a family lot there of the Clarks and Hyronimous is buried there. Chain link fence around it and headrocks, you know. And I asked Joe. <q>Joe, do you know anything about a grave in there by this name<\/q> I forget now. He said, yeah. Its right on the extreme east side of the graveyard. Well, we had been down there and bramble briars was all over it and everything. You'd have to get down and crawl under them, you know, we didn't go far enough down, and Joe told me where it was at and we went down there and I contacted these women and they wanted a chain link fence put around it. And I got a bunch and we went down there and put&hellip; the headrock had fell off of the base&hellip; and put it up and put a chain link fence around, cleared it all off. And this old man that was dead there was in 1860. Lived in west Texas, had lots of cattle, and they drove them overland to Kansas City market and on the road several days and all. And they got to Kansas City with them, then the old man got sick and the boy then bought a one-horse hack and started back to Texas with his dad, sick. And he got out here in the south part of town, the old man was pretty sick and someone out they took him and kept him until he died. And then they buried him up there on Nobb Hill Cemetery. And I got the record of it and it said it was also used as a military cemetery and that was in 1860.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Did those people come from west Texas just to see where their&hellip;<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yeah. They drove their cattle from west Texas to Kansas City Market overroad. That's the only way they had, then.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Don' you know that was good tender beef by the time they got it there? 'bout as tough as what we get now.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>There's a whole lot different now to what it used to be, Ralph. But, I'll tell you, you can't beat some of the old days that we used to have back in my early time. People was sociable. They cared for each other. The few living out here and farming, you got sick there'd be enough cultivators and hoe hands to go in there and clean your crop out in a day's time. Now, they've moved all of the school houses out of the country and put everything in town. There isn't no more sociability in the country anymore, not a bit. And there's lots of it right here in town, where we're living here. Someone right there, we don't know who their neighbor is, you know. We don't know. Someone come along hunting her and asked about her. She lived in this block. I don't know. I never heard of her. And she's your next door neighbor.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>That's the way it is where we live. We know very few people. People who go to church with us, and people we work with and that's it.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>It used to be when I was a young fellow up there at Locus. And I'd a rather went to Locus, of course me and Tom run a store up there for several years, you know. And I'd rather go to Locus now if the old timers was out there that was then. Hate to go to New York City, I sure would. I'd say <q>take me to Locus<\/q> I sure would. Take me to Locus out there where I was raised about thirty-five years and it was my job&hellip; I went &hellip; I bet you ninety percent of the kids that was born up there in that neighborhood, I went at night to get the doctors for them. And lots of times I had to go out on the prairie. The phone line would be down&hellip;I'd have to go plumb on into Pottsboro to get a doctor to come up. And every time there was a kid born, you know, it was <q>Get Pat, he'll go get the doctor for us.<\/q> And I did get them, I never refused anybody. Never did. All in the night and in the daytime. We had a fellow, a blacksmith by the name of Aaron Crabtree. Mr. Golden, lived over there north of Locust about three miles, he was bleeding to death. He'd been bleeding all day. And would tell them that he could feel himself slipping, you know. Well, the neighbors was all in. The doctor'd been in, they couldn't help him and someone happened to be there that knew Aaron Crabtree. And he could stop blood. And they'd say <q>Why don't you get Aaron Crabtree over here? Aaron will stop that blood.<\/q> and someone got on a horse and &hellip; it was about three miles &hellip; [intelligible] and get old man Crabtree that ran a blacksmith shop there. And he come over there and he went in and he looked at Mr. Golden a few minutes, went out to himself. I don't know, someone told me there was a certain verse in the bible, that's he'd quote that&hellip; he never would tell what it was. Didn't even tell his family before he died what that was. And it wasn't very long 'til Mr. Golden's blood commenced to slowing down. In about 30 minutes, his nose had quit bleeding. And when would get a horse, or cow, or colt caught up in barbed wire, they couldn't stop the blood, they'd go get old man Crabtree and he'd come and stop the blood on animals just like he did the men. And I asked his oldest boy after he died, I said <q>Hogan, did your dad ever tell you what that was, the way he stopped blood.<\/q> He said, <q>No, never did.<\/q> But he could stop blood, he sure could.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>There's a lot of things happen that there's not any explanation for.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I've had nosebleeds. Have been for the last two months. One morning here, it bled for an hour and a half until I finally got it stopped, and next day it bled for about an hour and I got it stopped. Then it's bled several times, a little at a time. But nose used to bleed a whole lot. I never did get excited. The folks did, and picking cotton in the fall I just hung my head over and picked cotton and let my nose bleed. I'd stick a piece of cotton up my nose, pull it out, it'd just squirt the blood out. I'd hold my head over here and pick cotton. I never did, but the folks would get uneasy about it. But I never did. That's the first time it's bled though in a long time.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>I guess that runs in the family, Pat. My nose used to bleed real easy, when I was a kid. Just look at it and and it'd start bleeding.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Yeah, but then got over it. Some people never have a nosebleed, but others have lots of it.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, Pat, we're going to have to go home.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, why don't you stay all night?<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>Well, we've been gone too long from home now.

Whenever the weather clears up, when it gets to be pretty weather, y'all come up here and I'll go to the Brogdon graveyard with you and I'll go down and show you where Pearl was born. The house &hellip; I called Ed McKee &hellip; he bought the farm right west of where Pearl was born and I called Ed not too long back and asked him about this house and he said <q>I think the house is gone, but I know where it was.<\/q> And dad used to work for old man John Reddick, he owned this here house across the road and farm and dad worked for him. And he had a mule and a horse. And Mrs. Reddick had a conch horn. And the land run up I know of quite a little ways from the house. Well, whenever, at eleven o'clock every day she'd get out and blow that conch horn, you know to let them know it's dinner time. And he had a mule and that mule &hellip; he'd been a working, singing to himself &hellip; and if that mule was half way to the other end, nobody couldn't hold him. He turned around right in the middle of the field and come to the house for dinner. Dad said that him and old man John Reddick both couldn't hold him. Whenever he'd hear that conch horn, he'd just &hellip; wherever he was at, he just turned around and come home.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">RALPH:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>That mule was better trained than anybody else.<\/p><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-1\">PAT:<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-11\">\r\n<p>That's right.

The oldest of seven children, Mary attended a Methodist school in Tennessee until her family moved to Paris, Texas, in 1882. The Crutchfields settled in Sherman in 1884, and Mary continued her studies at the Washington building (Editor's Note: The present Washington Elementary School on South Travis Street was built over the foundations of the original Washington building which was constructed in 1895 and torn down in 1928).\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1897, Mary enrolled at the Sherman Female Institute, also know as Mary Nash College, where she studied for two years. Jesse G. Nash, a Baptist minister, and his wife, Mary ___ Nash, had established the school in 1877 in a four-room house on West Mulberry. Mrs. Nash affixed an apt motto to the finishing school on its first day of existence and constantly said the motto before her pupils as a criterion they were expected to reach: <q>That your Daughters may be as Corner Stones, Polished after the Similitude of a Palace.<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMary Crutchfield graduated from the Sherman Female Institute on June 6, 1889, with a degree in literature. Following graduation, Miss Crutchfield attended Sam Houston normal in Huntsville. Her first teaching assignments were at the Fitch and Loving schools east of Sherman where she taught one term each in 1890 and 1891. The next year she taught at Hyde Park school near Denison. In 1892 she joined the faculty of the Franklin school as a teacher of fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students. Franklin, built in 1884 at the corner of Walnut and Mulberry, was the first brick public school building in Sherman.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFrom 1895 - 1897, Miss Mary served as a sixth grade teacher at Washington school. Then in 1898 she transferred to the high school as a history teacher. High school at that time meant grades nine and ten. These had been added to the Sherman middle school curriculum in 1893 in order to meet the demand for \"higher education\" which up until that time had been divided only by private schools.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe first public high school classes were held on the second floor of the Washington building. On the southwest corner of Travis and Mulberry, the first high school was built in 1898 and occupied for the first time in 1899. This building was destroyed by fire in 1907 and rebuilt in 1908.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAfter the addition of an eleventh grade, the school system purchased the residence of O. T. Lyon at Crockett and King, on this site a new and larger structure opened as Central High School in 1918. Come rain or shine, Miss Mary, who never owned a car, walked from her new home at 1305 South Crockett to the new Central High. Here she taught history, social studies, and economics and was head of the social studies department for the remainder of her long teaching career.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDuring the summers from 1914 to 1924, Miss Crutchfield attended the University of Texas from which she earned the Bachelor of Arts degree on August 30, 1924. She was one of the oldest summer students to be honored with election to Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most prestigious academic fraternity in the United States. During the summers of 1929 and 1930, she attended graduate classes at UT.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA university professor with whom she studied in one of the summer sessions told her that she had more knowledge of historical detain than he had. The Sherman teacher replied that she had to have such knowledge; she taught inquiring boys and girls and had to have the answers.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMiss Mary always based her teaching on friendship with the students and an acquaintance with their needs and interests. \"I always tried to find out what a pupil's real interests were and bring out points that would interest them most,\" she said, <q>The best teacher is the one who is a friend of all her pupils.<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe friendship between teacher and student was exemplifies in the following letter written by Miss Crutchfield to Magdalen Dederick Carpenter, a 1931 Sherman graduate:<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><i>My dear Magdalen,<br>\r\nI can hardly decide where I have enjoyed you most, or on what subject you have been most satisfactory , - I think I have rarely enjoyed a more satisfactory pupil in my classes and yet - I shall think of you oftener after I meet you no more in the classroom for our talks on other than school subjects. I shall remember your love of home, of home making, of friendships and friends, of flowers and in fact all of those things which go to make a womanly woman. I shall be disappointed if the opportunity of becoming life long friends is not possible, but at any rate I have known and loved you in Sherman High.<br>\r\nMary Crutchfield<\/i>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAbout Miss Crutchfield, Mrs. Carpenter wrote: <i><q>She always seemed to bring out the best in her students and always encouraged when the going was tough. I have never known a more dedicated teacher. My senior year I took an Economics class on my lunch hour as an elective just to be in one of her classes again.<\/q><\/i>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn Nov. 14, 1933, to celebrate her birthday and fortieth anniversary as a teacher in Sherman, a surprise reception was planned for Miss Mary by her former pupils, co-workers, and charter members of her Sunday school class at Travis Street Methodist Church.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>Well, for the first time in my life I have nothing to say,<\/i><\/q> Miss Crutchfield exclaimed as she came into her home to find it elaborately decorated with autumn flowers and crowded to capacity with her friends and pupils. Seated in a large chair in the center of the living room, the teacher was presented with cards, letters, telegrams, at least a dozen boxes of cut flowers, and numerous gifts including a diamond bar pin and $200.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe following is but one of the expressions sent in by friends of Miss Crutchfield on this occasion:<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><q><i>It was my good fortune to be associated with Miss Crutchfield in the teaching profession for a number of years and I know of no teacher who has taught in the Sherman public schools who wielded a better influence for good than she. Her general regard for her students and her overflowing kindness made life happier for those who came in contact with her. Teachers may come and teachers may go, but Miss Mary Crutchfield will go on forever. <\/i><\/q> - R. M. Carter.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe following spring Mary Crutchfield retired from a teaching career that spanned forty-four years. Miss Mary continued with her favorite activities: gardening, tending her chickens, rocking on the front porch, crocheting, reading and visiting with her friends. These were the days before a teacher retirement system, and in order to meet expenses, Miss Mary converted her house into two apartments, living upstairs while renting out the downstairs.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOne day while Miss Mary was shopping uptown, a fire broke out in the downstairs apartment. Though the house suffered extensive damage, that afternoon found Miss Mary, in her rocking chair, not on the front porch, but out on the front lawn, receiving visitors as usual. News of Miss Crutchfield's plight reached former students scattered across the country, and generous contributions were sent to help Miss Mary repair her beloved home.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDuring an interview in 1951 when she was eighty years old, Miss Crutchfield observed that school methods had changed a great deal since she began teaching in 1890. <q><i>Children don't do as much memory work as they used to. They used to memorize Whittier and Lowell and Tennyson. Nowadays they know a lot more than we did - about television and cars and such things - but they know very little about poetic things that we knew.<\/i><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nShortly after midnight on Aug. 2, 1952, Miss Mary suffered a stroke and died fourteen hours later. She was buried in West Hill Cemetery on Aug. 4.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn Sept. 15, 1952, a  petition signed by 254 Sherman residents was presented to the Sherman Board of Education; the petition requested that the elementary school under construction on South Dewey Avenue be named in honor of one of Sherman's most illustrious teachers, Mary Crutchfield.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":84,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Humbolt Hunter Cummins","art_title_sort":"Cummins, Humbolt Hunter","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/politicalstrangenames.blogspot.com\/2016\/06\/humboldt-hunter-cummins-1873-1961.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":85,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"James Alexander Cummins","art_title_sort":"Cummins, James Alexander","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.genealogymagazine.com","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":842,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-wills","art_title":"Mary  Curran","art_title_sort":"Curran, Mary ","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/BurialRecords\/Wills\/Curran_Mary.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"DATE: 1917<br>HEIRS: Three daughters<br>SOURCE: Sherman Daily Democrat, June 25, 1917"},{"art_id":671,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-lunacy","art_title":"John Curry","art_title_sort":"Curry, John","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Crime&Punishment\/Lunacy\/Curry_John.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":86,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Wyatt T.

Dollarhide (born 1825 in Virginia) married Elizabeth Victor (1829\u20131919) in Scioto County, Ohio, in 1848. They were in Tipton, Cass County, Indiana, by 1850 and in Louisville, Pottawatomie County, Kansas, by 1870. They had seven children before splitting up before 1880. He remarried to Susan Richards, in Hickory County, Missouri, in May 1880 and had more children with her.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMeanwhile, Elizabeth Dollarhide headed for Denison, Texas, with her four youngest children. The 1880 Census listed her as divorced, but later sources all described her as \"widow of Thomas Dollarhide.\" The children were Gillis A. (1855\u20131890), Horace George (1856\u20131950), Thomas Willard Sr. (1857\u20131941), and Luella (1868\u20131926). An older son, John R. (1854\u20131950), and his wife Mattie, lived in Norman, Oklahoma. Horace George left Denison. Gillis, unmarried, died in Denison in 1890, leaving Thomas W. and Luella with Elizabeth, now called \"Mother Dollarhide.\" She lived for decades at 615 West Woodard Street.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1880, Thomas was working as a fireman on the railroad. Thereafter, he focused on establishing himself in business. Thomas married Cora Lucinda Griffin (1863\u20131949) in 1882. Born in Iowa, she was in Denison by 1880.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1887, T. W. Dollarhide & Co. was selling \"groceries, produce, hay, feed and grain\" at 323 West Main. Associated with Tom in the business was Jesse D. Yocom, soon to become Denison's mayor.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDollarhide & Harbison, located at 305 West Main, was selling \"hardware, stoves, cutlery, tinware, guns, ammunition, sportsmen's supplies, agents for Hazzard Powder Co.\" The new partner was Edward C. Harbison. By 1893, Thomas was a clerk at F. E. Shaffer & Co., hardware. Elizabeth Dollarhide had gone into business with Frank E. Shaffer at 321 West Main Street.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOverton Harris married Elizabeth Victor Dollarhide's youngest child, Luella, around 1891. The next year a daughter, Sabra Harris, was born and named after Overton's mother. Elizabeth lived with Luella, Overton, and Sabra. Elizabeth Dollarhide passed away  in 1919.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBy 1896, Overton Harris had withdrawn from Hayes & Harris. That year the firm of Dollarhide, Maynard & Harris was selling hardware and guns. This was a partnership among Elizabeth Dollarhide, M. F. Maynard, and Overton Harris. Thomas W. Dollarhide was a salesman in the store.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**dollarhide_store_interior.jpg*\"Dollarhide & Harris Hardware. 311 Main Street.\"<br>\r\nRobinson, Frank M., comp.

Overton Harris continued to work at Dollarhide & Harris until near his death in June 1938.

Ellis Island is a small island in the New York Harbor.  It's location is just off the New Jersey coast in the upper bay and is within the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPrior to 1890, the individual states regulated immigration into the United States. President Benjamin Harrison designated the island as the site for the first Federal immigration station in 1890.  On June 14, 1897, a fire on Ellis Island burned the immigration station to the ground. No lives were lost but many years of Federal and State immigration records that dated back to 1855 burned to the ground along with the many pine buildings located on Ellis Island.  The United States Treasury ordered a new facility be built with the stipulation that all future structures be fireproof.  The new Main Building opened on December 17, 1900 and 2,251 immigrants were received that day.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe new structure on Ellis Island opened January 1, 1892.  Annie Moore, a 12-year-old Irish girl was the first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island on January 2.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhile most immigrants entered the United States through New York Harbor, others entered through other ports such as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Savannah, Miami and New Orleans.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-7\">\r\n<figure>\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/eth_images\/ellis_island.jpg\" alt=\"Ellis Island\">\r\n<figcaption> <\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<figure>\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/eth_images\/ellis_island_immigrants.jpg\" alt=\"Ellis Island Immigrants\">\r\n<figcaption> <\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-5\">\r\n<figure>\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/eth_images\/ellis_island_immigrants-2.jpg\" alt=\"Immigrants\">\r\n<figcaption> <\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"col-xs-7\">\r\n<figure>\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/eth_images\/ellis_island_immigrant_station.jpg\" alt=\"Ellis Island Immigrant Station\">\r\n<figcaption> <\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":677,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-lunacy","art_title":"Mrs. Adeline Emmer","art_title_sort":"Emmer, Mrs. Adeline","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Crime&Punishment\/Lunacy\/Emmer_Adeline.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1756,"art_date":null,"art_category":"eth-group","art_title":"English American","art_title_sort":"English American","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Ethnic\/England\/Immigrants_1880.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":97,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Booker T Ervin","art_title_sort":"Ervin, Booker T","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.villagepreservation.org\/2023\/06\/23\/booker-t-ervin-the-jazz-musicians-favorite\/","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":678,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-lunacy","art_title":"J.

It's hard to tell one from the other even after 90 years.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe twins have a zest for life and live every minute to the fullest. They were born Aug. 1, 1901, in Leonard, sons of George and Anthahne Evans. They grew up on a 200-acre farm and farm life was all the two ever knew until they were grown and married.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe twins agree that farm life is a little tough and they\u2019ve had their share of hard work. So have their other four brothers and a sister, Gracie, who Lawrence said was spoiled rotten by her six older brothers.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThey remember picking cotton at a very young age with cotton sacks their mother made from feed sacks, slopping the hogs, milking cows, cutting wood, shelling corn, plowing and planting the fields. They agree that children today don't know what hard work is.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBut along with hard work there was a lot of fun growing up. For entertainment, Clarence laughed and said the game was usually wrestling or just plain fighting in the big old barn out back. He said on rainy days they would scoot off to the barn, form a ring (called the bull dog ring) and have a good time. Lawrence said the barn was their favorite spot away from the parents, playing, fighting, dreaming of far away places and things to do.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nTheir parents were strict. Church was the center of most everything they did. Their dad was superintendent of Sunday school at the Baptist Church and they were there every time the doors opened. Being strict Baptist, they were not allowed to dance or play cards. Like a lot of small communities, church services were shared with different denominations, and they went to the Methodist Church on Sunday evenings.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nStrict or not, boys will be boys, and the Evans twins were certainly not without their pranks. They recalled when their parents would go to town they were on their own with only grandpa to watch over them. Grandfather lived with them for 17 years and never once told on them for their frivolous acts.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMore than once when their parents were away they would meet peddlers passing by and sell chicken and eggs and pocket a few cents for <q>going to town.<\/q> Grandpa kept his mouth shut even when their parents wondered what had happened to the chickens.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLike all farms, they had their share of cats. One day on the way to town, their grandpa loaded the buggy with the little furry creatures and the boys dropped off a cat here and there. They both really got a kick out of telling about depositing a cat at the home of a woman as they went to town and on their way back, the woman was standing in the road with the cat and handed the cat back without saying a word. \r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhen they were teenagers and older the twins said they were never out of a job. They were taught how to work and were always willing to put out a good hard days work for others. <q><i>Work never hurt anyone, and we are proof of that saying.<\/i><\/q> they said.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nGood lookers, the twins caught the eyes of a few young ladies in the area&hellip; but they had their sights on two. Lawrence favored Lela Mae Simms and Clarence fell for Alma Elizabeth Clark.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLawrence laughed, looking at Lela as he told of their wedding day, Aug. 16, 1919. She was 16 and he was 18 years old. Her dad was out hunting so they eloped in his buggy to the preacher's house. They were afraid to drive down the road so they drove down the corn rows in the field. The Preacher married them on the run and they watched her dad drive pass them as they were peeking out of the tall corn.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHer father may have objected but it was a marriage that weathered time and the couple will be celebrating their 72nd anniversary this month.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nClarence and Alma slipped away in his horse drawn buggy on Aug. 14, 1922, drove up to the same preacher's house and were married as they were seated in the buggy. Clarence said the preacher came out with his Bible and married them and took took time for him to make a picture of them with his box camera. They were married 64 years when Alma died in September 1976.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nClarence worked for Southern Ice Company in Sherman delivering to nearly every house in town. He worked for Lingo-Leeper Lumber Company and Foxworth-Galbreath Lumber Company where he was yard foreman retiring at the age of 62.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLawrence farmed most of his life and retired from Plano School system.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBoth have a mischievous look and infectious smile and agreed that life has been good to them. Their advice to others is live everyday to the fullest. Do what you want to do.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLawrence resides in Van Alstyne where he is a member of the First Baptist Church and Clarence in Sherman and is a member of Grayson Bible Baptist Church.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nClarence has a daughter, Lyda Mae Campbell, who resides in Sherman. He has two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nLawrence has five children, Virgil of Anna, Ophelia Graves of Van Alstyne, Von Ray of Mt. Pleasant, Ann Margaret Wilder of Dallas, and Theda Marie Briggs of Denison. He has 18 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThey have two surviving siblings, their sister, Gracie Thomas, 85, of Leonard, and Earnest, 96, of San Antonio.\r\n<\/p><br><p>\r\nClarence and Lawrence will be honored with a party from 2 until 4 p.m. Sunday at Shady Oaks Nursing Home in Sherman where Lawrence is recuperating from hip surgery. He hopes be in his own home in Van Alstyne shortly.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nTheir children will host the event that is open to friends and relatives.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><a href=\"images\/bio_images\/Ltr_E\/evans_twins_article.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">View original article<\/a>"},{"art_id":1583,"art_date":null,"art_category":"trs-waterways","art_title":"Expedition & the Great Raft","art_title_sort":"Expedition & the Great Raft","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"http:\/\/lewis-clark.org\/content\/content-article.asp?ArticleID=790","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1145,"art_date":null,"art_category":"his","art_title":"Expedition: Grayson County 2016","art_title_sort":"Expedition: Grayson County 2016","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Towns\/VanAlstyne\/VA_History\/VanAlstyneLeader\/expedition%20gc%20%282%29.pdf","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":987,"art_date":null,"art_category":"fif","art_title":"Olive Ann Oatman Fairchild","art_title_sort":"Fairchild, Olive Ann Oatman","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/ehistory.osu.edu\/biographies\/olive-oatman","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1317,"art_date":null,"art_category":"org","art_title":"Farm Club","art_title_sort":"Farm Club","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Towns\/PilotGrove\/PG_News\/PGNews_18November1926.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":906,"art_date":null,"art_category":"dis-manmade","art_title":"Farmington George W.

The stagecoach service operated from 1858 to 1861, carrying passengers and U.S. mail to San Francisco, California. Jeff fell in love with the area known as Dripping Springs in Grayson County and decided to make it his home, where he cultivated his farm of 180 acres.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJeff married - November 22, 1860 Grayson Co. to Lucy Ann Gooch, daughter of L.Y.

The Confederate Army failed to prevent the Union Army from crossing Atchafalaya River at Simmesport, Louisiana on May 18, 1864. Jeff was captured and imprisoned in Parish Prison at New Orleans. The old parish jail was used by the Union forces from 1863 to 1865 and ranked in the top 10 worst prisons in the United States. (<q>Orleans Parish Prison.<\/q>  Wikipedia. Viewed February 16, 2021)   The prison held a maximum of 1,900 men. He was sent for exchange at the Red River Landing on July 22, 1864.

Gentry was born in October 1865 in Kansas or Indian Territory to Eli Gentry (1841\u2013?) and his wife Lucy (1842\u2013?). His parents were termed <q>mulatto<\/q> in Census records and <q>colored<\/q> in Denison City Directories.<\/p><p>\r\nIn Edward's teen years, his father operated a saloon on South Austin Avenue, organized a black minstrel touring group, had frequent brushes with the law, and participated in lodge activities in the African American community. Edward's mother Lucy was a laundress or stayed home raising the children. In January 1880, the family mourned the death of a small child.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1887, the Denison City Directory listed Edward as a barber at Thompson & Lott, operated by two African Americans, Joseph Thompson and Sylvester Lott. This business, billed as <q>barbers, shop and bath rooms,<\/q> occupied space at 104 West Main Street. This was the heart of the action around the Union Depot.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1891, Edward was a barber with Eugene Lafon at 111 East Main Street. He was rooming with another <q>colored<\/q> barber, Jesse A. Coleman. Jesse's barber shop shared a location at 209 South Austin Avenue with Eli Gentry's nightclub.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1891, Edward married Susie, a black woman born in October 1862 in Tennessee. In October 1892, they would have a daughter, Bernice.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFive years later, Edward had his own barber shop at 109 East Main Street, close to the Union Depot and in a prime location to catch travelers tired after loading commodities onto trains or emerging at their destination after long train rides. Working the barber shop with Edward was another African-American barber, James S. Love.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nEdward continued to upgrade his enterprise, which was located on the second floor above other businesses and offered hot baths in addition to shaves and haircuts. The 1898-1899 City Directory called it the Palace Barber Shop, and Eddie's former employer, Sylvester Lott, worked there, as did Peter Williams and Sherley O. Platt. At this time, Edward Gentry and his wife had taken up residence at 627 West Bond Street. Platt lived a block away at 527 West Bond.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThrough 1905, Edward remained at the same location and lived at the same address. Then he moved his business to 107 West Main in 1907. Around this time, the interior of his shop was featured in Industrial Denison, a high-quality pictorial book advertising Denison's most impressive homes and businesses.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**gentry_barbershop.jpg*Gentry Barbershop<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"noIndent center\"><q>Shaving Parlor of E.

So I stopped at a gas station to get help.<\/i><\/q>  A Canadian Mountie informed Gerard that his hitting a deer would cost him a fine (which was later dropped due to circumstances).\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBut Gerard had other things on his mind at that moment.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>I got to thinking that if I had needed a phone or something like that, where would've I gotten that help?<\/i><\/q> he said. Gerard came home and ran his idea past the telephone company. His plan was to produce a simple number people could easily remember to call when an emergency arises, especially when they are on a remote location or highway. A phone company representative told Gerard that his idea was a salient one - transmitting calls would prove to be a relatively painless obstacle, as circuitry adaptions would be easy to manipulate - but it would require a 3-digit protocol. The number 911 was selected because of its name recognition similarity to the 7-11 convenience store - which Gerard said was an easy name for people to remember. However, according to Gerard, his idea was not accepted by some - especially by the phone company (financial considerations) and funeral homes (who ran the ambulance services).\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>The police department and the fire department like the idea though,<\/i><\/q> he said. But most people were initially skeptical. <q><i>I talked to just about everyone you could think of,<\/i><\/q> he said. <q><i>They thought I was a nut.<\/i><\/q>  In fact, it wasn't until 1973 that Gerard's idea was proposed nationally to the American Medical Association (AMA). That same year, an announcement from the Oval Office encouraged support of emergency number\/911 services, but Congress did not announce 911 Emergency Number Day until September 11, 1986.

He was physician in Denison and involved in the community for more than half a century.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>It's just another way to help Denison,<\/i><\/q> said Mrs. Baker, who is now remarried to Eyvan Baker.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDenison ISD Superintendent Henry Scott said Mrs. Baker has long been dedicated to community and the district, working in the concession stand as a volunteer to raise money to benefit the district. He said when she contacted the administration about making the donation, <q>her words were this, 'I want to help kids.'<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMrs. Baker's donation, along with a $1 million commitment from the Munson Foundation, other donations and a commitment of $3 million of district money, will fund a major overhaul of the stadium. The original plans called for the district to replace the home stands, construct a new field house, press box, concessions stand, entry and new restrooms, and make all the facilities handicap accessible.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe replacement of the stands is driven by a number of engineering studies that have been shown the stands to have structural issues and will be unsafe for use after next year's football season. As for the other elements to be replaced, some date back to the 1930s and no longer meet the district's needs.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe district kicked off the campaign in December to raise the final $1 million needed to complete the estimated $5 million project. Superintendent Henry Scott admitted to a crowd gathered at the stadium entrance that he had doubts about the district's ability to raise the $1 million.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHowever, with Mrs. Baker's donation, the district has already exceeded its goal by almost $4000,000. <q><i>Only in Denison, Texas, can we made the announcement that we made in December and four or five months later comeback and say that the goal has been met,<\/i><\/q> said Denison Mayor Jared Johnson.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nScott said the extra funds will be used to make additional improvements to the stadium, starting with upgrades to the lighting and visitors stands, which were not included in the original project.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>We've got to ask ourselves, why did people get around this project? Is it about five football games in the fall?  Is it because the marching band might jump on it or a soccer team or a graduation or a Rachelle's Challenge (Rally) or even a fireworks show?<\/i><\/q>  Johnson said, <q><i>I would say that's probably not it, although some givers are passionate about some of these items. I would say that those individual events are not what this stadium's about. I would say that this stadium is about moving Denison forward and us as a community wanting to be behind that.<\/i><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn addition to the improvements being funded by the donations and district funds, Scott said, he also plants to recommend to the Denison School Board that the district replace the turf on the field when the other construction begins after next year's fall season. He said the surface is 10 years old and at the end of its useful life. <q><i>We might as well get it all done at one time,<\/i><\/q> Scott said in an interview.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFormer Denison Mayor Robert Brady, who is co-chair of the fund raising committee for the stadium renovations, said the district still plans to sell commemorative bricks to line the entrance of the stadium. Scott said any addition funds that are raised will continue to be put into improvements at the stadium. <q><i>We're very blessed in this community to have people that care and come together to make a project like this happen,<\/i><\/q> Brady said.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":1758,"art_date":null,"art_category":"eth-group","art_title":"German American","art_title_sort":"German American","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Ethnic\/German\/GermanRoots.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":105,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"James Lafayette German","art_title_sort":"German, James Lafayette","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.tshaonline.org\/handbook\/entries\/german-james-lafayette","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":315,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 2 ~ Hagerman","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 2 ~ Hagerman","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":316,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 3 ~ Martin Springs & Mineral City","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 3 ~ Martin Springs & Mineral City","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":317,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 4 ~ Georgetown, Fink & Reevesville","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 4 ~ Georgetown, Fink & Reevesville","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":318,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 5 ~ Locust & Mill Springs, Willow Springs & Overton","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol 5 ~ Locust & Mill Springs, Willow Springs & Overton","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":319,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 1 ~ Preston Bend","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 1 ~ Preston Bend","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":320,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 2 ~ Hagerman","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 2 ~ Hagerman","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":321,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 3 ~ Martin Springs & Mineral City","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 3 ~ Martin Springs & Mineral City","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":322,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 4 ~ Georgetown, Fink & Reevesville","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 4 ~ Georgetown, Fink & Reevesville","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":323,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 5 ~ Locust, Willow Springs, Overton, Mill Springs","art_title_sort":"Ghost Towns of Texoma, vol. 5 ~ Locust, Willow Springs, Overton, Mill Springs","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":324,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Ghosts of the Gate City, 2 Chicks Home & Market, 311 W.

His parents move to Lowell, MA, in 1838 where he and his brother Eldridge grew up. They often worked in the lumber camps and factories. Both dreamed of a life at sea, so when old enough, Eldridge spent his summers on coasting and fishing vessels. And at age nineteen, George went to work on a revenue cutter.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBut rumors of the western gold rush took George from his life at sea. Early in 1859, he and his cousin Jonas Goding started out for Pike's Peak, Colorado. By the time they reached the Missouri River, they met with people who were returning home disillusioned from the gold fields. Disappointed, but still eager for adventure, the cousins decided to try their luck in Texas. Living off the land, they traveled by wagon and oxen across vast prairies, seldom seeing any other people.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn 15 December 1859, the Goding cousins crossed Red River at Colbert's Ferry, Indian Territory, into Texas, and made their way to Farmington in Grayson county. In December 1861, George enlisted in the Confederate Army at Sherman and served under Captain Tom Shannon. He was in many hard-fought battles, but was never wounded nor captured. He served the duration of the war and received an honorable discharge 25 May 1865. He was awarded the Cross of Honor for distinguished service during the Civil War by the Dixie Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJonas Goding did not remain in Texas long, as he was in Warren, Illinois by 28 February 1862 when he married Sarah A.

Goding settled near Bells where he engaged in the insurance business and bee keeping. George Gancelo Goding joined the Bells Methodist Church in 1866 and was an active member for sixty-three years, serving eighteen years as Sunday School Superintendent. He was also a member for many years of the Masonic Lodge #978 and the I.O.O.F Lodge, both of Bells.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe married Nancy P. Williams 1 February 1870. The Williams family had come to Grayson County from Virginia in 1859. Nancy Williams Goding died soon after the birth of her only child, Nancy P. Goding, born 14 December 1892. This daughter married L. A. Brown and they had five children: Nelson, Floyd, Fred, Roman and Pauline Brown.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nGeorge Goding soon took a second wife, Lydia A.

Richard and Harriet's children that were born in Lawrence County Alabama were Katherine (Kate), Alletha, Charlie Crow, Leonidas (Lonnie) and George Allman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*left*300*goff_rb.png*Richard Bethel and Harriet Amanda Goff<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>In the early part of the 1870's they moved to the area of Bells, Grayson County Texas area, where the remaining children, William Ira, Ernest White, and Robert Bethel (Rob) were born.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAll of this time Richard Bethel Goff was still considered part of the Holmes's family, as per in Katherine Holmes when she referred to Richard Bethel as her \"beloved son-in-law\" and willed to Richard Bethel and his children all of her estate.  William P. Holmes had died in 1880 and Katherine Holmes died in 1886.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nControversy arose over the settlement of Katherine Holmes estate, as newspaper reports at that time, saying that Richard Bethel Goff presented a paper to Judge Foster for probate, purporting to be the last will and testament of Katherine Holmes.  The will was written by J. T. Young and witnessed by A. J. Shelton and left all her property to Richard Bethel and his children.  There was a long and bitter contest over the will, the newspaper not stating by whom, but assumed to be from relatives of the Holmes.  There were many rumors about the amount of the estate and the authenticity of the will presented by Richard Bethel. More than one will was said to be found in an old barrel of papers later.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe court case over the will lasted two days before a jury and the jury ruled in favor of Richard Bethel and his children.  The value of the estate was given as $3,500, in addition to $1,800 cash, along with a request that <q>Aunt<\/q> Ann, the long and faithful family servant, be cared for the rest of her life.  The court costs were $1,200 and from the Moulton Advertiser <q>Dick (Richard Bethel) says he has enough money left to pay his way back to Texas.<\/q>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Other excerpts from the Moulton Advertiser are&hellip;\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><q><i>The wrangle over the property demonstrates one thing, the great folly of scrapping together a little stuff for relatives to fuss over after you are dead and gone.<\/i><\/q><\/li>\r\n<li><q><i>If Katie (Katherine) could come back to this world and could hear the wrangling and see them pulling at her little effects, she would no doubt jump in to the crowd with a red hot poker.<\/i><\/q><\/li>\r\n<li><q><i>Two women and a man were seen walking thru the garden, and yard, of the late Katherine Holmes, one evening last week. The man had a hoe and the women carried spikes, but the pot of gold eagles, supposed to be buried on the place, were not found.<\/i><\/q><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Richard Bethel and Harriet Amanda lived in the Grayson County, Texas area till the early part of 1900 and moved to Woodville Indian Territory (Oklahoma) till his death on December 1, 1907. He was buried in Cherry Mound Cemetery, Grayson County Texas.  Harriet Amanda then moved in with her daughter Katherine (Kate) Goff-Cockburn till her death in 1914 and is also buried at Cherry Mounds Cemetery.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAn article appeared in the Woodville, Oklahoma area newspaper, upon Richard Bethel's death as a tribute to <q>Uncle Bethel<\/q> is as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><i>Dear Sir,<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p><i>It is with a feeling of sadness that I write you today, as our friend R. B., or as he was familiarly known to his many friends as <q>Uncle Bethel<\/q> Goff, died this morning at 3 o'clock, after a short illness. Uncle Bethel had lived more than his allotted time of three score years and ten being 80 years old. And during his long life he had made many warm friends, for to know \"Uncle Bethel\" was to love him. This writer has known him for about four years and numbered him among his dearest friends.  He leaves a wife and six children and a number of relatives, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. To his bereaved family we would offer this consolation that they are not like one who mourns without hope, for we know that he has gone on before, and that we shall meet him in that better world if we will only do as he did - follow our blessed Redeemer; for \"Uncle Bethel\" had been a consistent follower of the meek and lowly Nazarene for a number of years. May we, his friends and relatives, resolve to so live that when our life's work is ended our friends can say of us that we have gone on before and that they can meet us in a land where sorrow is not known and death never comes.<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><i>A Friend<\/i><\/q><\/p>"},{"art_id":1606,"art_date":null,"art_category":"vet","art_title":"Gold Star Veterans: Texas Grayson County","art_title_sort":"Gold Star Veterans: Texas Grayson County","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.honorstates.org\/index.php?do=q&amp;state=TX&amp;county=Grayson","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":687,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-lunacy","art_title":"S.

James' occupation was a railroad bridge builder and contractor. He married Mary Ella Gowdy on October 20, 1892.  Shortly after their marriage, James and Mary had one of the first greenhouses in north Texas.  The greenhouse was built out of old church windows for Mary to pursue her passion for growing plants and flowers which she shared with family and friends.  This first greenhouse developed into a successful greenhouse and florist business.  They moved the business to Paris, Lamar County, Texas in 1909. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-4\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*right**goree_james_maryella_1892.jpg*James William Goree and Mary Ella Gowdy<br>Their Wedding Day<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**goree_house.jpg*J.

Goree at his home in the eastern part of the city at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon has caused genuine sorrow in many of the homes of this city where he had shed the radiance of his splendid Christian character.  It is probably that no man who has ever lived in this city has made so many true friends as has Mr. Goree.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe was stricken with something like apoplexy Saturday night and never rallied, death ensuing at 4:30 Monday afternoon.  The end of his life came at a time when seemingly he was just starting on larger things for the city of Paris in incident to the installation of a modern system of greenhouses.  Mr. Goree had just recently returned from Chicago where he had purchased a large stock of plants, etc. for his new greenhouse, now being erected just south of the city.  While in Chicago he visited quite a number of the larger places in that city and section devoted to floriculture and had planned improvements in his system here in keeping with the  new features which he had found in his investigations.  It is sincerely hoped that the death of this good man will not necessarily mean the abandonment of the vast enterprise which he had planned.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Goree was born in Georgia, June 26, 1861 and moved to Texas in boyhood with his parents who located in Grayson county.  He married Miss Mary Gowdy in 1892 and started out in life as a railroad bridge builder, later he became engaged in the occupation of a florist and keeper of greenhouses and located at White&shy;wright, where he remained several years and built up a big business. Seeing an opportunity to enlarge however, although well established, he moved to Paris 9 years ago.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe is survived by his wife and one son, John; and 4 daughters, Misses Ruth, Pearl, Mabel and Sarah. The funeral service will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at his late residence, Rev. L.C. Kirkes of the Central Presbyterian church officiating, assisted by a minister from White&shy;wright.  Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-12\">\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_bio_divider.gif<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<h5>Mary Ella Gowdy Goree<\/h5>\r\n<p class=\"paper\">THE PARIS NEWS<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paperDate\">August 17, 1961<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<foto>*bio*right*200*goree_maryella_pic.png*Mary Ella Gowdy Goree<\/foto>\r\n<p>Funeral services for Mrs. James W.

She had attended public schools there and also Grayson College.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBefore coming to Paris in 1904, Mr. & Mrs. Goree had been in the flower business in Whitewright. Prior to that, growing flowers had been a hobby for Mrs. Goree. Their first greenhouse was built out of windows salvaged from an old church.\r\nThey opened their uptown store on Lamar Avenue in 1916. Mrs. Goree became manager when her husband died in 1917. The Goree greenhouses have been very successful. Goree flowers have been presented to two Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft; and other prominent persons, such as William Jennings Bryan and Philip Sousa. The greenhouses have always been a family affair.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nCollecting paper weights was a favorite hobby of Mrs. Goree. She had more than 200. She was a member of the Central Presbyterian Church, the Chamber of Commerce, and several florist associations.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nShe was ever thoughtful and generous of her friends and numerous organizations in Paris.\r\n<\/p><p>She gave flowers for many public affairs and charities, and to hospitals for distribution among the ill.

Because of plentiful timber for fuel and fences, they settled on Elm Creek and began the work of breaking up the prairie sod and splitting rails to fence the farming land. <\/p><p>\r\n From the union of William and Elizabeth there were ten children, seven of whom lived in Grayson County ~ Mahalia Graves Rodgers, Lucretia Graves Miller, Lousinda Graves Talley, Elizabeth Graves Sarton, Addaline Graves Burgett, Ben Graves, and Dan Graves.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1908 their son, Henry, moved with his family to Grayson Co. and settled on a farm near Tioga.   In 1914 Henry married his second wife, Mary Keen, in Tioga.  He had six married children from his first wife ~ Ellen Graves Marlow, Charlie Graves, Jack Graves, Will Graves, Convis Graves, and Walter Graves.  Two children were born in his latter years by his wife, Mary ~ Jewel, born 1915 and James Odom born 1918.  Jewel and Odom attended Tioga school, with their first teacher being Mrs. Wadill who had also taught their older sisters and brothers twenty years before.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHenry and Mary bought a house on South Main Street in Tioga and lived out their years there.  Henry died in 1924; but Mary lived to be 102 years old, dying on September 28, 1977.  She was the oldest member, at the time of her death, of the First Baptist Church of Tioga.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJewel Graves married Chester Gaddie in 1932 and lived their entire lives in Whitesboro.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**graves_hazel_ryan.jpg*Hazel Graves Ryan d\/o Walter Weatherford Graves<br>Source : History of Grayson County, Texas, vol.

H. Halton &mdash; Member of Charter Committee for the City of Denison, 1907<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>Today it is hard to imagine a business establishment combining a funeral parlor with the sale of musical goods and artistic pictures. But in the decades around 1900, burial practices differed greatly from those we are familiar with today. William Henry <q>Will<\/q> Halton (1864-1942) flexibly made his living dealing with death and the arts.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nWill H. Halton probably was born in 1865, in Chicago, Illinois.  His parents were both English natives; his father immigrated from England in 1852.  He attended the schools of Chicago and graduated from the Chicago School of Engineering, which occupation he followed for some time before coming to Grayson Co., Texas<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nAt the time of the Chicago Fire of 1871, Will was living in Chicago; he was compelled three different times to move his belongings, trying to get out of the path of the fire.  (The Denison Press, Thursday, October 9, 1942)  By 1892 Charles had migrated south to Howell Co., Missouri; there he married Dora E. Jennings (1868 Missouri-1896 Denison, Texas) in April 1892.  He started in the undertaking business in Denison in June 1894.  (The Denison Press, October 28, 1932)  By 1895 Will had graduated from the U.S. School of Undertakers and Embalmers, a school that was only in operation for approximately five years, 1894-February 1900.  (The Sunday Gazetteer, Sunday, August 25, 1895)  At this time he was the <q>city undertaker<\/q> for Denison, whose office was located at 501 East Main.  In March 1896, Will suffered the loss of his wife, Dora, who was buried at Fairview Cemetery; she left two small children.  In December of the same year, Dora's father died; he was also buried in Fairview Cemetery at Denison and shares a tombstone with his daughter.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nIn 1898, Will married Mary Etta Creager (1869-1948). She had been married previously to George Thomas Harris (1860-1896) and had four children: Lillian Lewis Harris (1889-1978), Lloyd Debow Harris (1891-1972), Nathaniel Creager Harris (1894-1945), and George Thomas Harris (1896-1959).<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nThe Haltons moved to Denison, Texas, around the time of their marriage, living in a large house at 630 West Chestnut Street. In 1900, in addition to Will, Mary, and the four children, the house held four roomers. The 1900 census and 1901 Denison City Directory lists Will Halton as music store merchant, featuring pianos, organs and musical merchandise while continuing his undertaking business in expanded business space of 508-510 West Main St.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe marriage was short-lived. Mary was still there in 1903 when the City Directory listed Will as <q>funeral director, pictures, picture frames<\/q> at 508-510 West Main. The 1910 census listed Mary Etta as living in Ward 3 of Denison and with marital status of <q>divorced<\/q> as well as Nell Jewett Goff Halton (1878-1939) as Will's wife, living at 531 West Chestnut St.  Mary later remarried to Henry Peter Wilson, and Halton was not one of the surnames placed on her gravestone at Denison's Fairview Cemetery.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**halton_home_630_chestnut.jpg*Residence of W.

She had been dead something like 36 hours when I reached Caddo. Mr. Moon stated that he wished the body preserved if possible. I told him that It would be difficult owing to the length of time that death had ensued, so 1 gave two treatments before the body was burled on the fourth day.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Moon came to the conclusion that he would build a vault and had his wife's body taken up, and when done it was found that the casket was not properly closed. This was evident from some mold that had formed on her hair from dampness. The body was well preserved and the features were perfect as when laid away. I was called by Mr. Moon to Caddo, be being anxious to save the body. I told him that it could be done. Mr. Moon attended the body every day at the vault end followed my instructions in caring for it I made several trips to Caddo and injected fluids each time. The treatment lasted through several months. Mr. Moon's devotion to bls task was constant and dally. Day after day, following my instructions, he did what no men or person in my experience has ever done, to be finally rewarded with the knowledge that he had preserved the body of bis loved one. Everything done was as I had instructed him. The idea that he wished the body preserved was his own. He alone is responsible for that. His desire was not unusual, but natural, and the methods used were scientific and not more morbid or grewsome than in all such cases of preserving the body.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nI know Mr. Moon's motives were sincere, and none of the motives attributed to him are true. I knew that no person actuated by insincere motives could have gone through the trying ordeal that be has during the last seven or eight months. He built the vault under my advice.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Yours truly, W. H. Halton.<br>\r\nDenison.

She was buried but one time, and, as stated in Mr. Halton's letter, I was following out an inclination that I had always had to build a vault for the remains of the members of my family. I had the vault built under the instruction of Mr. Halton. Yours truly. W. J. Moon, E.

Oct. 12 &mdash; Just 39 years ago Sunday occurred one of the greatest fires the world has ever known. It was on Sunday night. October 9, 1871 that the great Chicago Fire started, which swept over the city and left 100,000 people homeless and destitute. The great fire of London in 1666 was small when compared with the Chicago fire, the burning of Moscow was not as disastrous as the Chicago tire. Three years later when the second fire occurred in Chicago when $4,000.000 worth of property was lost the people who had seen the great fire of 1871 looked on It as a small blaze.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOf the many thousands of people in the world who remembered the fire yesterday because of losing their homes is W. H. Halton of this city. Sunday night was remembered by Mr. Halton for it was on that night 39 years ago that he with thousands of others was forced to crouch on the beach for shelter and look on while the great city went up in smoke. Mr. Hatton was then a small boy, but he remembers the hurried flight from the home of his parents and the trip, a few blocks distant, to the beach where he spent the night. His home did not burn as the wind changed and the flames ware stopped. The paint was scorched from the walls of the houses in the block where Mr. Haltor\u2019s home was and the block next to this burned.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPerhaps history is right when it says <q>In one sense the fire was a benefit. Its consequence was a better class of structures.<\/q> Prior to the fire Chicago was known as the <q>city of wood.<\/q> Now the buildings are of steel, practically all fireproof.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"right\"><a href=\"images\/bio_images\/Ltr_H\/halton_chicago_fire.jpg\" target=\"blank\">View original article<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<foto>*fam*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n<br>\r\n<p>In 1912 he was elected state president of the F.O.E.

By 1925, Will had no partner, and Halton's Music Company had moved across the street to 411 West Main, where it remained through 1930. Will's wife Nell worked in the store.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDuring the 1920s, Will and Nell changed residences several times.

In October 1931 The Denison Press published a notice that W.H. Halton was opening a <q>new<\/q> Halton Funeral Home at 231 W.

The only thing he must do after his arrival in America is to declare his intention of becoming a citizen.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nEverything that is raised, and all improvements on the land, will belong to the settler.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe immigrant has no expense except some small fees to government officers, which amount for 160 acres (according to location) to eighteen or twenty-two dollars all for land worth $1.25per acre; or twenty six or thirty four dollars for land worth $2.50 per acre.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAn immigrant can take 160 acres under the homestead law as a gift, and can purchase 160 acres more, if he so desir<\/p><p>es, at from $1.25 to $2.50 per acre.  This will give him 320 acres.\r\n\r\nThen, under a law passed June 14, 1878, entitled the \u201cForest Law\u201d, he can take up 160 acres (or 40 acres as he may elect), of land naturally devoid of timber.  One-sixteenth part of the land must be planted in young forest trees, seeds or cuttings, and the trees must be kept for eight years in good growing condition.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThat is, if 160 acres are taken under the \u201cForest Law\u201d, five acres must be plowed the first year, cultivated the second year, and planted the third year; and five more acres must be broken second year and cultivated the third year and planted the fourth year.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIf 80 or 40 acres are taken up, it is only necessary  to plant 5 or 2\u00bd acres respectively, as above explained.\r\nAfter the expiration of eight years, or within thirteen years, and after the planter has proved by two witnesses that he has complied fully with the provisions of the \u201cForest Law\u201d, the government gives him a patent for the land. \r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPersons that take up land under the \u201cForest Law\u201d need not reside on it, and may at the same time take up and possess lands under the Homestead Law.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe settler can make his choice from any of the governmental lands, but must report his selection to the United States Land Office, when, after presenting the proof that he has complied with the requirements of the law, he will receive a patent for the land as his individual property.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThese lands are free from taxes and cannot be seized for debts contracted before the taking up of the same.\r\nShould the planter die after having made entry, his heirs have the right to fulfill, in his place, its provisions, and after the expiration of eight years to receive the patent for the land.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThere is no government in the world that has ever passed laws so wise, so liberal, so beneficial.

Howell<\/sa>, having arrived at years of maturity in his native state of Tennessee, was married there in 1871. Soon afterward he came to Texas, settling in Cooke county, where he rented land and raised two crops. In 1873 he came to Saint Jo and spent nearly three years in the town. He then bought land five miles west of Saint Jo, taking up his abode in a little cabin about twelve feet square in which he lived until he could erect a better house. He added to his first purchase of land and made a good farm, becoming a successful agriculturist. He also raised stock. In politics he always voted with the Democracy and in community affairs was interested in the welfare and progress that works for civilization and the general good. His death occurred March 28, 1885. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his family were four children: Mason, a machinist possessing much natural mechanical ingenuity; Polkey S., now Mrs. Aldridge; Nellie and Jackson T., yet at home. Following the death of Mr. Howell his wife remained upon the old homestead farm which she yet owns and she supervised its improvement for six years. In 1890 she became the wife of Stephen A. Bryant and has since resided at the Bryant homestead. Her second husband was an early settler of Saint Jo and was a prominent  and prosperous farmer and stock man. His death occurred January 18, 1903, in the faith of the Missionary Baptist church, in which he held membership. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity.<\/p>\r\n<p>To Mr. and Mrs. Aldridge have been born two daughters: Thelma, born April 1, 1902; and Marvel, born August 30, 1904. The parents have many warm friends in Saint Jo and this section of the state, and their own home is celebrated for its pleasing hospitality.

So it was that John and Sarah (Sinclair) Hull of Macoupin County, Illinois (originally natives of Pennsylvania and Tennessee respectively) packed up their three sons - Isaac, 5; William, 2; and infant John, who was just a babe in arms, and made the trip to the Red River in 1844 as members of the <q>Peter's Colony<\/q> group. John made his claim for 640 acres on the banks of the river in the Washita Bend area about due west of the original Preston settlement.

Elizabeth died in 1870.<\/p>\r\n<p>April of 1873 found William marrying for a second time to Miss Mary Jane <q>Mollie<\/q> Baird, a native of Tennessee. In 1883 they acquired 160 acres in the rural George&shy;town\/Potts&shy;boro area where William would build a large (for the time) 2-story home for his growing family. Known simply as <q>Hull House<\/q> by many, William and Mollie raised their 14 children there: Nora, Samuel, Carrie, Nina, Belle, Della, Bessie, Elbert, Beulah (twin), Edith (twin), John died 1902 age 14, Herbert, Mary died I895 age 3, Raymond<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>William had begun to acquire a reputation for his farming and ranching skills by his management of the original family farm.

In the 1880's they returned to the Pottsboro area and George tried his hand in the business sector owning and operating a small mercantile shop in the <q>downtown<\/q> area.

JONES, M.D.<\/sa>, deceased, was one of the most prominent, honored and greatly loved physicians that has practiced in Denison, and no history of the city would be complete without mention of his life and work. He was born in Cleveland, Tennessee, November 18, 1840, son of Daniel B. Jones and Martha Jane <q>Jennie<\/q> Bunyard. With his parents he came to Texas while yet a small lad, the family home being established near Palestine in Houston county. When a young man he came to Grayson county in 1868 and entered upon the practice of medicine with Dr. F. N. Cutler. He took up his abode in the neighborhood where his remaining days were passed, being one of the first practicing physicians of Grayson County. He followed his profession in this locality, and all along the border of the Indian Territory before Denison was established and incorporated and before the building of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad through this part of the country. He was a splendid example of the high principled and highly cultured country gentleman and physician, and was loved by his patients and his neighbors for his charitable nature and kindly spirit. He never refused to accommodate a neighbor or friend if it lay within his power to do so, and his home was celebrated for its generous hospitality throughout this section of the state.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nNo man was better beloved than Dr. J. L. Jones, no man was more generous and no man more charitable. There are today many who could tell tales of his ready and helpful assistance. He gave of his strength and skill for the alleviation of human suffering, oftentimes without hope of pecuniary reward, but content in the knowledge of duty well done. None ever called on him in vain, for his sympathy responded readily to the need of a fellow man. In the early days when settlements were widely scattered, no call, however distant, was unheeded by him. He was every ready to go through rain, storm, heat or cold to aid in checking the ravages of disease and restoring health, and he not only took with him professional skill, but also a sympathy as broad as human needs. Moreover, Dr. Jones was a successful business man and at his death left a large estate, consisting of a fine farm east of the city and also a drug store at No. 225 West Main Street, which he had conducted for more than a decade.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**jones_drug_store.jpg*J. L. Jones & Company Drug Store,<br> 225 West Main Street<br> Photo was given to Billy Holcomb by Mrs. Thelma Harris.<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>At the time of the Civil War, Dr. Jones espoused the cause of the Confederacy, becoming a member of a Texas Cavalry regiment, commanded by Colonel J. B. Liken, and he was a charter member of Denison Camp No. 885, United Confederate Veterans, in the work and aims of which he ever took an active and helpful interest. He was likewise a member of the Denison Medical Society, which he joined on its organization, and he was ever interested in whatever tended to promote the efficiency of the medical fraternity and broaden their knowledge and skill. He seemed to have learned medicine as an apprentice to Dr. T.N. Cutler. In addition to farming, Dr. James traveled all along the Red River when called upon to treat the sick, deliver babies, and bind up wounds. Living in an area under constant threat from wild animals, weather, outlaws, accidents and disease, he helped catch horse thieves, found dead men on his property, shot a rabid dog, and in 1879 saved the lives of Dr. Alex W. Acheson, Mrs. Helena Beattie, and 3 children who while crossing the Red River in a carriage on a ferry, when the boat's guard broke, pitching the carriage and passengers into the water. Dr. Jones quickly rescued them. (Denison Daily News, 1879).\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDr. Jones was twice married. He first wedded Sarah Berry Lankford, daughter of William and Martha (Clark) Lankford, and her death occurred in 1879. By this marriage there were two daughters and a son. One daughter, Lillie H., a graduate of St. Xavier's Academy, now deceased, was the wife of Edward Ringer, and had one child, Thelma, born November 27, 1894. The other daughter was Rosalie M. Jones. Dr. Jones and Sarah made their home near the Lankford homestead where Sarah grew up. He continued to live in the Shiloh community until his death in 1903. <q>In fact, newspapers would come to call Shiloh, <q>the Dr. Jones neighborhood.<\/q><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFor his second wife Dr. Jones chose Miss Sophia A. O'Dell, a daughter of the late Enoch O'Dell, who was one of the prominent farmers of Desvoignes, Texas, and one of the substantial citizens of Grayson County.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe came to this state at an early day before the town of Denison was founded and he accumulated considerable land and other property interests in the county. He was always an enterprising and businesslike farmer and a man of most excellent character and of sterling honesty and integrity, so that all who knew him were his friends. He reared a large family of children, who have become prosperous, energetic and valued residents of this section of the state.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBy his second marriage Dr. Jones had one daughter, Miss Frances S. Jones. Rosalie M., the elder daughter by his first marriage, died July 5, 1909, at the age of twenty-four years and eight months. She was reared in Grayson County, about four miles east of Denison, and was a young lady of superior intellectual and aesthetic culture.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe surviving daughter of the second marriage of Dr. Jones was Miss Fannie Seay Jones, who was born in Denison, October 24, 1885. She graduated in 1903 in St. Xavier's Academy, in both the literary and musical departments, and was awarded a gold medal by the faculty. She was particularly proficient in music and is a young lady of much local renown in musical circles.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMany of the boarding school were from Indian Territory and became close friends of the Jones family members. Lillie was one of 2 graduates of the Academy in the Class of 1890. In February 1894 she married Edward Ringer (1868-1949) of the <q>Holmes dry goods house<\/q> on Main street. Lillie gave birth to her child, Lily Thelma on November 27, 1894 but died 3 days later of complications. The infant was cared for by the Jones family, at least until Edward, a traveling salesman, remarried and moved to Indian Territory.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFannie was 9 years old when Lillie died and 12 when her sister Rose died. Fannie graduated from St. Xavier's Academy in 1904. She married John Mallory Webb, Jr. (1885-1947). The marriage was blessed with the birth of a son and a daughter. John's grandparents were Kemps and Colberts, leading Chickasaw families in Bryan Co., Oklahoma. John worked in Kemp, Durant and McAlester as a farmer, rural mail carrier and deputy sheriff.<\/p><p>\r\nDr. Jones invested in a drug store. In 1892 he was appointed by a court as Executor of the estate of Ed F. Wallace, a druggist at 215 W. Main St. in Denison. Dr. Jones found partners to help him operate the store. In July 1894 the Gazetteer mentioned Jones & Howard drug store. Two years later the partnership was Jones & Simmons. Around 1901 Dr, Winston B. Markham became a partner in J.L. Jones & Co.; A.A. Nilson, an experienced jeweler and watchmaker, was given space in the drug store.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe death of Dr. Jones occurred December 30, 1903, when he was 63 years of age. His memory is enshrined in the hearts of those who knew him and they cherish the record of his noble life, his kindly deeds and lofty purposes. His name is inseparably interwoven with the history of Denison and this section of the state and it stands as a synonym for business integrity, professional skill and for the highest traits of manhood. He left a large estate. The drug store was sold in the summer of 1905. In early 1909 Sophie left the farm for Oklahoma to live with Fannie and her family. All are buried in Lankford Cemetery, Denison, Grayson Co., Texas.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Source: B. B.

His occupation was that of a carpenter. One of the first acts of the town government was to build a public school. In March 1873 the Denison Town Company had donated $2,000 and a block of lots on West Sears Street for the purpose of building a public school, with the stipulation that the lots could be exchanged for more desirable lots. (Denison Weekly News, April 3, 1873). In April of that same year the City Council authorized $15,000 in bonds and specified that the school would be built on a location at the upper end of Main Street, instead of the lots originally donated by the Denison Town Company. The city block selected was then in the western part of the city and bounded by Main and Woodard streets and Armstrong and Barrett avenues. The Council advertised for architectural plans to be submitted by April 15 to the City Clerk. On April 17th, after examining several plans, the City Council chose the design of Capt. Charles Wheelock of Sherman, who was paid $46 for the drawing of the plans.

Davis.

Joe Koehler continued his construction business in the Denison area, including two houses for Mike Brown (Denison Daily Cresset, August 14, 1875, pg.4) as well as a pauper's coffin for which he was paid $8.50 by the City Council in November of 1875.

Together they had two sons, Franz H. and George.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"paper\">The Sunday Gazetteer<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paperDate\">Sunday, December 24, 1893<br>pg. 1<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><b>CHRISTMAS IN DENISON<\/b> &mdash; How the Date is to be Celebrated by Churches, Societies, and Individuals<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Franz Kohfeldt &mdash; <q><i>I expect to accompany my wife and children to Fort Worth, where we will spend Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. A.

He also became convinced that a new port being planned for the Texas Gulf Coast could become <q>the New York of Texas<\/q> and shrewdly invested in property that later became Texas City.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Kohfeldt office at 118 West Main, originally a merchant tailor\u2019s shop, was designed by a prolific local architect, Joseph Schott, and constructed in 1885. It is distinguished by its Italianate style, carved stone window head moldings, and an overhanging stone cornice with brackets. Unfortunately, the original cornice piece that gave the name and date of the building has been removed.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhile acquiring properties of his own and working at his own real estate business, he was the first president of the Denison Commercial Club, later the Chamber of Commerce. In 1924 Mr. Kohfeldt organized the Denison Federal Savings and Loan Association, remaining its secretary and manager until his death.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nWhen Franz H. returned from government service after World War I, the firm became <q>F. Kohfeldt and Son.<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn March 2, 1938, Franz Kohfeldt died in Denison, Texas. Franz H. continued to run the business after his father's death, he organized the Denison Board of Realtors and was one of the founders of the Texas Real Estate Association. <\/p><p>\r\nFranz Harrison Kohfeldt, regarded in financial circles as Grayson county's wealthiest man, had a net worth between 5 and 10 million dollars.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center*500*kohfeldt_realty_highlted.jpg*Kohfeld Building<br>Kohfeldt & Son Realty<br>West Main St, 100 Block, south side<br>ca September 1997<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>In the year 2000, part of the old block retained its charm.

Fortunes were made, and others lost Legends have been created and remain in the memories of Denison's old-timers.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOne location, 301 W. Main, is perfect example of all of the above. For almost 76 years, this was the location of Madden's Department Store, one of the largest of its kind, and the most successful in North Central Texas and Southern Oklahoma in its era, before the advent of the shopping malls.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe name on the front of the building read <q>Madden\u2019s<\/q>, but the man behind this lavish mercantile was J. W. Madden, who was born Aug. 16,1867, in Tennessee. While still a toddler, the one-day entrepreneur was loaded into a covered wagon and hauled to Texas, with Denton the destination. As a teenager, J. W. went to work for A. E. Graham, owner of Graham Combination, a Dallas-based dry-goods company, and one of the first in that era Madden learned the business inside and out, and in 1893, he married A.E.*s daughter, Lillie. But, as with most ambitious young men of the time, he wanted to venture out on his own. Three years later, on St. Patrick\u2019s Day in 1896, Madden Graham & Company opened a dry-goods store at 301W. Main.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nInterestingly, the two-story building, constructed sometime in the late 1880s, housed one of the top-notch, high-class saloons this side of Dallas, known as the White Elephant, and it was owned by Messrs. Cutler and Meadows. The ground floor served the spirits, while the second floor offered games of choice of every description. No information is available as to why Cutler and Meadows sold the property, but for awhile, Madden had a second floor with leftover gambling paraphernalia. It wasn\u2019t long before Madden bought out the Graham\u2019s interest in the business and was the primary owner.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nEvery year, the department store was improved with top-of-the-line merchandise. The second floor became principally occupied by the women\u2019s wear department, and in the process, the store front was expanded from 50-75 feet by taking over the building next door, changing the address to 301-305 W. Main. Denison had a touch of the big city, and was proud of it.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThen, disaster struck on Christmas Eve in 1944, when Madden\u2019s was destroyed by fire. Madden and his partners bravely decided to rebuild, declaring they would make the big store even more stylized\u2014and they did. The grand opening, held in October 1945, was a spectacle. Air conditioning wiped out the summer humidity for perspiring shoppers. The fixtures were bleached oak, and the floors were natural oak. The lighting was modern fluorescent. As an added attraction in 1946, the Madden\u2019s annex at 212 W. Main, selling household appliances to the postwar consumers who had done without new products during the duration.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nRunning a retail store can be a grind, but Denisonians weren\u2019t prepared for the news they read about on Thanksgiving Day in 1950, when J. W., while posing for a photo and interview in <i>The Denison Herald,<\/i> in front of his family home at 1103 W. Morton, said, <\/q><i>I don\u2019t want to fight the battle anymore. The reason I'm selling out is that I\u2019m 84 and Lillie is in bad health.<\/i><\/q> J. W. lived until March 8, 1953.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDunlap Company, based in Lubbock, took over the department store and drastically changed the operation, closing off the second floor and parking the elevator. Needless to say, Dunlap Department Store was a far cry from what 301-305 W. Main had been. Not surprisingly, they sold out in April 1955, to Hunt Dry Goods of Fort Smith, Ark. Jeff Biffle stayed on as the manager (later a partner). Back in the operation was J. W. <q>Tobe<\/q> Madden Jr., a successful attorney in his own right as a specialist in oil litigation. Almost immediately, plans were announced for expansion in all departments. Elmo Reddick's Jewelry Department would stay put.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nNot too surprisingly, the most-often asked question posed by customers were, <q><i>Will the elevator be operated again? Will you sell Charles of the Ritz Cosmetics again, and will the women in ladies ready-to-wear dress in black as the clerks did when Mr. Madden owned the store?<\/i><\/q> Jeff Biffle said <q>yes<\/q> to the inquiries.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMadden\u2019s was revamped extensively inside and out in 1961, followed by another modernization in November 1964, updating the landmark store to top-of-the-line form, once again bringing more class to the business.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe opulence came to an end as black smoke began to belch from the building at 5:20 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 14, 1967. Mary Edna Kirby, an employee of the ready-to-wear department, was trying to start her car on the cold evening when she spotted the trouble and called in the alarm. Fire Chief George Craven\u2019s men. battled the blaze all night with assistance from the Perrin AFB, Bells, Pottsboro and Sherman fire units until Sunday, but the Madden\u2019s' store was destroyed, to the tune of $600,000 (in 1967 dollars).\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn Monday, Frank Wertzs and Jeff Biffle, principal officers of Madden\u2019s, declared that Madden\u2019s would be rebuilt better than ever. Not tong after, Cole-Smitthen Construction. Co. began doing just that, only the name on the front wouldn\u2019t be Madden's. Lilly's would be the new occupants. There were changes in the wind when Lilly\u2019s held its grand opening on Jan. 29, 1968. Main Street was about to be altered or would be soon. A new mall was planned to be built where the Perrin Drive-In Theater used to be. Sherman and Denison were attempting to emulate the big city, but ironically, downtown Denison would, eventually lose the opulent department store that had a touch of Dallas on its two majestic floors with latest fashion creations in its display windows. The 70-year span of Madden\u2019s Department Stores influence had come to an end, but the building at 301 W. Main still stands as a tribute to the family that pulled it from the ashes on two occasions &mdash; a true Phoenix on Main Street.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<!--\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_pg-3.jpg*Calvin Mauldin, <q>Though It Took Its Lumps, Madden's Created a Legend,<\/q> <\/foto>-->\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_store_1964.jpg*Madden Store <br>1964<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_plaque.jpg*Madden Plaque<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_service.jpg*Good Service<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_store_hats.jpg*Hat Department<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"noIndent center\"><b>Madden's Department Store Fire, January 14, 1967<br>301 West Main Street, Denison, Texas<br>Courtesy of Billy Holcomb<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_fire_1967-1.jpg*The Fire<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_fire_1967-2.jpg*Maddens Store Ruins<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**madden_house-2.jpg*Madden House <br>1101 W.

Her contributions to the life of the College and the thousands of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends she has touched are beyond measure. The community offers heartfelt condolences to her family, including three children, Sara Caroline, John, and Rebecca, and their spouses, plus four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nServices are pending and details will be forthcoming.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFor a quarter of a century, 1953 to 1978, Mrs. Moseley served the Austin College and Sherman communities as first lady of Austin College while her late husband John D. Moseley served as one of the most successful and forward-thinking leaders in the College\u2019s history. Upon his retirement in 1978, he spent three years as chancellor, at which time the Moseleys built a home in Sherman and remained on Grand Avenue, right across from the College.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nSince that time, Mrs. Moseley has been a welcome participant in nearly every major activity at the College\u2014through the arrival of three new presidents to the College. Her home on Grand Avenue gave her a view of the College and her interest in its students and their activities never waned. She watched with excitement as construction changed the face of the campus just outside her front door\u2014from the Sandra J. Williams Founders Plaza to the cottages of the Village on Grand that brought her many new student neighbors that she delighted to see. This May, she attended her 60th Commencement exercises, as proud of the graduates today as she was when her husband presented the graduates\u2019 diplomas.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>Sara Bernice\u2019s love for the College, established as she served as First Lady, continued throughout all her remaining years,<\/i><\/q> said Austin College President Marjorie Hass. <q><i>She helped welcome me to the Austin College family and was a great advisor and friend to me.<\/i><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMrs. Moseley was a trailblazing Presbyterian woman. In 1965, she became the first woman elected as a ruling elder of First Presbyterian Church, Sherman. In 1975, she became the first woman in the Presbyterian Church in the United States to be endorsed by a presbytery for moderator of the General Assembly, the highest elected official of the church, and in 1978, Mrs. Moseley became the first woman elected moderator of the General Assembly. In that role, she was an instrumental figure in the reunion of the two major branches of the Presbyterian Church, which came about in 1983. She served as co-chair of Friends for Reunion in 1981-1982 and as the first chair of the General Assembly Council of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1983-1984.<\/p><p>\r\n\r\nReporting on an interview after she was elected moderator in 1978, The Presbyterian Outlook quoted Mrs. Moseley as holding two <q><i>profound hopes<\/i><\/q> for the Presbyterian Church: one, that <q><i>God will equip His people in effective ways to live out their faith,<\/i><\/q> and two, that <q><i>with the integrity of the Presbyterian system, we will keep the church open to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.<\/i><\/q><\/p><p>\r\n\r\nBorn Sara Bernice Honea, a native of Anson, Texas, Mrs. Moseley served as vice president of the Synod of Texas Youth Council in 1935. (The president that year was a young man named John D. Moseley.) She graduated from Texas State College for Women (now Texas Woman\u2019s University) in 1937 with a B.A. in music. She studied further at the University of Michigan and the University of Texas. She married John D. Moseley in 1941. She was 34 years old when the couple moved to Sherman in 1953, when her husband was appointed the 12th president of Austin College.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAustin College named Mrs. Moseley an honorary alumna in 1974, and she received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the College in 1978. TWU named Mrs. Moseley a distinguished alumna in 1977, and she was named the American Association of University Women\u2019s Outstanding Woman in Sherman in 1980.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Austin College Board of Trustees approved the establishment of the Sara Bernice Moseley Scholarships for Outstanding Presbyterian Students in 1995, recognizing Mrs. Moseley\u2019s contributions to the church and the College. In 2002, The Moseleys\u2019 nearly 50 years of service to the College were recognized with the dedication of the College Green in Honor of John D. and Sara Bernice Moseley and Distinguished Faculty. In 2012, the Board of Trustees approved the naming of the John D. and Sara Bernice Moseley Covenant Society, which recognizes individuals who have included Austin College in their estate planning.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFor those of the College community who had the privilege to know her, no amount of recognition and honor are sufficient to memorialize the graciousness and loyalty of the quintessential First Lady of Austin College. She will be greatly missed.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":562,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-felony","art_title":" Virgil Moss","art_title_sort":"Moss, Virgil - Murder","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Crime&Punishment\/Felony\/Moss_Virgil.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":157,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"William Turner \"Billie\" Mosse","art_title_sort":"Mosse, William Turner \"Billie\"","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.billiemosselodge.org\/william-turner-billie-mosse\/","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":348,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bok-sale","art_title":"Mt.

Texas, was born in Jackson, Mississippi, June 1, 1846, and is the son of John and Matilda Nelson, both deceased.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJ. M. Nelson is the second of three children, the others being Jans and George Nelson. At the age of three years he was taken to Franklin county, Illinois, where he lived until he was twenty years of age. He then moved to Bates county, learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked until 1875, when he moved to Denison, Texas. Two years later he located in Sherman, where he has since resided, doing extensive contracting and building.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAugust 19, 1877, Mr. Nelson married Miss Laura Trowbridge, of Springfield, Missouri, a daughter of W. J. Trowbridge. They are the parents of three interesting, children &mdash; Oliver C., Angeline and Evangeline. Mr. Nelson is a prominent member of the IOOF, Sherman Lodge. No. 45, and has been noble grand. He is also a member of the En&shy;camp&shy;ment and Uniform Rank. In politics he is a republican.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"paper\">The Roswell Evening News<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paperDate\">Friday, 7 February 1919<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>JAMES MONROE NELSON CALLED HOME AFTER ILLNESS OF MANY YEARS<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>The old landmarks of a community disappear. One by one they crumble into dust as the calendar marks the passing of this era and the coming of another.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIt is the same with the old and beloved characters of a town. The truth of the assertion is found more in the smaller places than the large. We see certain men in their primes today. They are with us in business and are making their names as we work toward our own ends. Then comes tomorrow. We see them fade and wither. Their vitality wanes and the hand of senility is upon them. Then they pass away like summer\u2019s breath and are gone.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA good example of this outline is enacted in the life of J. M. Nelson who answered the call to the Great Life this morning at 5 o\u2019clock, and his passing marks the close of a very busy and active life which was cut down in later years by the firm hand of age.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Nelson passed away after an illness of a couple of weeks, and his death was hastened by his falling last week and throwing his hip out of joint. But the beginning of the end came three years ago, when bound for Seattle to visit his son, Oliver, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and had to be taken off the train at Marced, California. He never was the same after that. It seemed to undermine the strong character and pitifully weaken it insomuch that his later years were a terrible burden to him.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJ. M. Nelson was born in Jackson, Miss. (1860 Census indicated he was born in Illinois), where he spent most of his childhood days, growing in that influence conducive to gentlemanly traits and habits. When still small he moved with his family to Cairo, Ill., the family home until he was 18 years of age.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOn the threshold of manhood, Mr. Nelson heard the call of the great open west and answering it made his way to Sherman, Texas, where he lived until 1902, when he moved to the Pecos Valley. His life in the Lone Star state was the life everyone had to live on the plains and it brought that inborn manhood and character to the front so that it stood out boldly and prominently in his daily life. He was a man whose manhood was forever unchanged. You found him tomorrow as you saw him yesterday.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Nelson was married in Texas and there came into the home two sons and two daughters. Oliver C. Nelson is at present in Tacoma, Wash., while the other son Harry, who is well known here, lives in New South Wales, where he has recently moved from Australia. He is a wireless operator at one of the large stations. Mrs. W. H. Artley of Savannah, Ga. and Mrs. J. D. Hudgins of Carlsbad are his two daughters. Mr. Nelson also leaves a wife to mourn his loss.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe name of this man comes as one very familiar to nearly every person who has lived in Roswell for a number of years. As an architect he had few peers. He seemed to have that indefinable quality of seeing in his own mind the finished building in mortar and stone. He figures out carefully every detail of the structure and built it first himself. As his best monument stand the buildings he conceived. There are some fifteen or twenty courthouses and schools in Texas, the products of his study, while the Baptist Church, St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, the Oklahoma block and other buildings scattered all over the valley call his name to mind.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nSt. Peter\u2019s Church was his last work and the beauty of the building is not passed by. The Baptist Church is an edifice that reveals his artwork more than anything else probably. The silent awe-inspiring front view is a consolation and a joy. By moonlight there is almost a divine air about it. The soft flood of silver from the clear New Mexico heavens transforms the lines into mystic and fairy creations. The long shadows fall onto the lighted entrance and there is a touching element that cannot be forgotten.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOf Mr. Nelson himself, there is little that may be said. He lived a quiet and rather secluded life, mostly to himself but not for himself. He was a gentleman of the highest type with all the attributes of that name. It is enough.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHigh Mass will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o\u2019clock at St. Peter\u2019s Church and burial will follow in South Park cemetery.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**nelson_ad_1901.png*Nelson ad in the Sherman City Directory, 1901<\/foto>"},{"art_id":821,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-suicide","art_title":" C.

He remained here only a short while and removed to Baxter, Kansas, and was still engaged in the grocery business and forwarding.

O. O'Kane<\/sa> was born July 5, 1882, in Manhattan, New York City, New York. The name on his birth certificate is James Joseph O'Kane. From that same document we learn that his parents were John and Liza Brodenek O'Kane. John was an engineer, born in Ireland. Liza was born in New York City. We next find James O'Kane in the historical record in the 1900 Census, where he was a 17-year-old farm laborer boarding with the Goin family on their farm in Fannin County. It's a long way from New York City to rural Fannin County, Texas, but there he was. It's possible that New York City James and Fannin County James were not the same person, but there are good reasons for thinking they were. On the census form his birth date of July 1882 and place of birth in New York both match the information on his birth certificate. We know that he turned up in Denison in 1910, and that tends to corroborate his surprising presence in Fannin County a decade earlier.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe appears as J. O. Kane in Denison newspapers and as Joseph O. Kane in Denison city directories; therefore, I will refer to him as Kane, even though his descendants use the name O'Kane. The December 11, 1910, issue of The Sunday Gazetteer contains his first ad for the business he had just purchased, Union Woolen Mills at 209 W. Main Street. Near the bottom of the same page is a paragraph complimentary of the new manager as a person and a businessman (misidentified as J. A. Kane instead of J. O. Kane). Union Woolen Mills sold men's clothing, mainly suits. J. O. Kane's shop on Main Street was narrow because he shared the ground floor of 209 with C. J. Quinn's Jewelry and Loans. The identity of the taller man at left is unknown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**okane_store*O'Kane Store<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-8\">\r\n<p class=\"paper\">Ad found in The Sunday Gazetteer<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"paperDate\">Sunday, December 11, 1910<br>\r\npg. 4<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>scan*bio*center**okane_union_woolen_mills_adv-1910.jpg*Union Woolen Mills<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-4\">\r\n<p>The store opened in April of 1909 under the ownership of Sam Mathews.

The two-story house sat across from St. Patrick's, and today the address is a parking lot. Before and after the Kanes' wedding the house was occupied by J. W. and Mary Corcoran. He was an insurance agent. The Corcorans possibly either offered their home to the Kanes while they were away somewhere, or they took them in as houseguests until they could find a place of their own. Before the 1913 City Directory was published in August, the Kanes had moved to 1019 W. Main Street. The 1915 and 1917 city directories list them at 109 N. Scullin.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBefore he married Bernice in 1913, he was listed in the 1911 Denison City Directory at 416 N. Scullin Avenue with a spouse named Alta. No other information about her is known to exist. In April of the previous year, eight months before Kane arrived in Denison, a census taker in Fort Worth enumerated a man there named Joseph O. Kane. He was 29, he was born in New York, and he was a tailor. Our man was a year younger, but his place of birth and occupation match the man in Fort Worth. <q>Joseph O. Kane<\/q> is also how our man is listed in Denison city directories. The Fort Worth Kane had a 26-year-old wife named Alice and a five-year-old son named Clyde. Both were born in Missouri, but nothing more is known about either of them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**okane_family.jpg*O'Kane Family: James O. Kane, Katherine Virginia Kane b. 22 Apr 1915, James Joseph Kane b. 4 Oct 1913, and Bernice Lee Benner Kane<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p>Kane's great-grandson says that Great-grandma Kane returned to Mound City, Missouri, around 1922 with her two children but without their father. Mrs. J. O. Kane last appears in Denison newspapers in the Personals column of The Denison Herald in the issue of June 5, 1922. The snippet merely reports that she had been a visitor to Sherman. J. O. Kane himself is last mentioned in newspaper ads for his business in January of 1921. He and Bernice and Union Woolen Mills are all listed in the 1921 Denison City Directory, published in March of that year. None of them are listed in the 1925 directory. Bernice claimed to be a widow in the 1930 Census in Missouri. No trace of her husband appears in any known record after 1921. Patrick O'Kane wrote that Bernice resisted all entreaties from her children and grandchildren to provide any information about her mysterious husband. She refused to discuss him at all. They have inferred that he may have deserted her and the children. If so, did he also desert Alice and Clyde in Fort Worth? And what about Alta, his 1911 spouse in Denison?

Omohundro, Pioneer Citizen, Mourned by City<\/h4>\r\n<h5>Death Takes Former Mayor Who Helped Build Whitesboro<br>Succumbs Friday in Long Beach<br>Services Held Saturday for Civic and Business Leader<\/h5>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p><sa>John Hardwicke Omohundro<\/sa>, 74, war time mayor of Whitesboro and for many years a civic and business leader here and in North Texas, died in a Long Beach Calif. hospital following a lingering illness according to information received by the News-Record and his many friends here. Funeral services were held in Long Beach last Saturday.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nUntil he moved to Long Beach in 1918 Mr. Omohundro was one of Whitesboro's outstanding business men. In 1888 when he moved here from Sherman he established the Omohundro Hardware and Furniture Company, the establishment now owned by Bill Waldrop.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDuring his residence here he was mayor for several terms and was responsible for introducing the present municipal electric light and power system. During the war he was one of the city's three <q>minute men<\/q> and patriotically made speeches and assisted in selling Liberty bonds and co-operated in every way in war activities.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Omohundro was instrumental in converting <q>The Old Avenue<\/q> here into a public park, now commonly called City Park, while he was mayor. The bandstand was built and the ornamental fountain was given in memory of his son, the late John Woods Omohundro. The park was appropriately named in honor of Dr. Trollinger, who donated the land to the city many years before it was improved and planted.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Omohundro was one of those who aided in establishing what at that time was a civic asset, the old cotton warehouse, which is still being used. The water works was modernized and a new well drilled during his term as mayor. He first started the detailed mayor's annual report, which is published in full each year. He always signed his reports <q>your obedient servant.<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Omohundro was a former chairman of the Grayson County Democratic Committee, honorary Texas judge and a member of the original committee which launched and completed the county's first good roads program in 1914. He was<q>boomed<\/q> for the State Legislature at the time of his breakdown in 1918 which resulted in his moving to California.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn Omohundro was a promoter in his younger days and as landlord of the old El Paso Hotel in Whitesboro in the early '90s, he decided his business would be increased by the erection of a street car line from the railroad depot to his hotel.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe immediately purchased several miles and bought rails and a street car for the venture. He later decided not to build the line and sold the street car for a chicken house. The street rails, however, served a more useful purpose. He sold them to a mine in Oklahoma.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Omohundro family burial ground is located at the Oakwood cemetery west of Whitesboro. In this plot of ground, purchased and beautified by John Omohundro, lie the bodies of his father, John Baxter Omohundro; his brothers, George and Frank; his son, John; his daughter, Sarah; and his sister, Anna. Nellie is buried at Sherman. Paul Omohundro, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1927, is buried in Sunnyside Cemetery in Long Beach, California.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nHe is survived by his wife, Mrs. Minnie Omohundro and three sons, Thomas and Thad Omohundro, of Long Beach, and Sam Omohundro, of El Paso. Five grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive him.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<foto>*bio*center**_fam_divider.gif*<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>John Hardwicke Omohundro was born April 14, 1864, at Mooseburg, East Tennessee. He was the son of John Baxter Omohundro and Mary Ann Hardwicke. John was born in a log cabin while his father was serving in the Civil War with General Lee. John was approximately a year old when his father returned from the war to greet his first born at Lynchburg, Virginia, where the mother had taken up her new abode.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn spent seventeen years in the state of Virginia during which time he was the mainstay of his family. He began work in a saw mill and brick yard at Lynch's Station when he was nine years old. Three years later he began work in a store at Lynch's Station where he remained as a clerk and assistant manager until he was seventeen years old. He worked for the firm of James Traylor & Co.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHeeding the call of his uncle, Gabriel Etter, in Sherman, Texas, John left his father, mother, brothers and sisters to make the trip to Texas by the crude railroad afforded in the year of 1881. He settled in Sherman where he became a clerk in his uncle's hardware store. He endured numerous hardships. Late hours and lack of accommodations forced him ofttimes to sleep under the desk in his office. He often worked eighteen hours a day. During this clerkship he sent money to his father and mother in Virginia. He provided his father with $1,000 at one time with which his father purchased an interest in the business of Anthony Omohundro Mooreman at Lynch's Station.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn continued to live frugally, soberly and practically. Eventually he determined that it would be to the best interests of his father and mother to bring their family to Texas.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAccordingly in 1886 he provided funds for his parents to come to the Lone Star State where he arranged for them to settle in the little town of Whitesboro, eighteen miles west of Sherman. He set his father up in business, establishing the firm of Omohundro Hardware and Furniture company, which remained in business from 1886 until January, 1933.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThere were born to the parents of John H. Omohundro sixteen children whose names as nearly as possible in the order of their birth were: John Hardewicke, James Harry, Carrie Etta, William, Mary, Warren, Blanche, George, Frank T., Watts, Minnie Lou, Bernard and Annie. By a second marriage the father of John Hardwicke Omohundro had two children, Baxter and Randolph.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn Hardwicke Omohundro in 1882 became a traveling salesman for the firm of his great-uncle, George Hardwicke, under the firm name of Roberts, Hardwicke, and Taylor. He traveled the famous Indian Territory and the wild parts of Northern Texas for seven years. During this time he became acquainted with another salesman for a grocery concern. From their traveling's together, they developed a close friendship and they decided to settle in the little town of Whitesboro where he lived one of the most useful lives of any American citizen until 1918.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBecause of poor health induced by strain of business and responsibilities assumed during the World war, he decided to go to California for his health which was greatly impaired.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nTo John Omohundro and Minnie Woods there were born the following children: Nellie, John, Paul, Sam, Sarah and Thad.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn engaged in the hardware and furniture business in Whitesboro during which time he was actively associated in the Presbyterian church being named Moderator of the Presbytery, a signal honor for a layman to receive. He was mayor of the city from 1912 to 1916. He was vice president and a director of one of the most stable banks from 1900 until the present day.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn Omohundro knew the bitterness of business reverses and also tasted of the cup of prosperity. His first major depression as a business man on his own inventment occurred in 1893. During that period which lasted three or four years he held his little business together and upon the advent of the twentieth century he had stabilized it to the point where it was one of the community's leading enterprises. In 1907 the pinch of hard times struck the business and while thousands of other firms and financial institutions foundered on the reefs of script and lack of money, the Omohundro business business remained on an even keel. Then came 1914, the beginning of the World war, bringing on another time of stress.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn 1917 when the United States entered the war, economic conditions in Texas began to pick up and the store earnings increased along with the jump in prices of commodities raised by the farmers and customers of the store. It was during this time after raising five children that he began to assume tasks outside his regular business and for which he received no remuneration. Previously he had served as mayor and chairman of the good roads committee, which made automobile traffic more practical. In 1917, he led the drive in the county for the Democratic Party, for the Liberty Loan Bonds, War Saving Stamps, Red Cross, and other war emergency activities.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAt this point he developed a case of nervous exhaustion which virtually forced him to relinquish control of his business which he had established and nourished. With his son, Thomas, in control of affairs, John sought recovery of his health at a number of Texas resorts, but to no avail. The ailment was never satisfactorily diagnosed by any doctor. Believing that life held but only a few more years for him, he took his wife and young son, Thad, then 12 years old, to California in October of 1918. They settled in the little town of Colton. They later moved to Long Beach where they established their home in November of the same year.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nJohn immediately identified himself with church activities in Long Beach. His character and sterling worth were immediately recognized by his associates in the First Presbyterian Church who thereupon elevated him to the office of Elder. He had already held this distinction in Whitesboro where he was a pillar of the Presbyterian Church for thirty years.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe biographical outline of the life of John Hardwicke Omohundro truthfully portrays him as a leader and a respected citizen among his associates.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAlthough without the aid of a liberal education he studied subjects and problems which marked him plainly with the distinction of a scholar.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHis appearance greatly resembled that of the late Woodrow Wilson who was one of the greatest presidents in the opinion of John Omohundro. Many people have mistaken John for being a preacher because of his kindly attitude, straightforward appearance and general conduct toward others. He lived a frugal life, being economical by nature. He attributes his longevity to the fact that as a young man he was regular in his habits, industrious and clean in his living. He refused to permit himself to be idle and worked at some occupation as long as his mind would function and his legs would carry him. He chafed at inactivity and inability to bring in an income sufficient to meet current expenses of his family.

His younger brother, Hugh, was born June 22, 1900 on the family farm, east of Van Alstyne near Sister Grove Creek. Garland married Miss Ella Williams in 1921.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe 1930 census lists Garland's marital status as <q>widower.<\/q> He married Samantha Haynes on November. 17, 1931, in Durant. Oklahoma. Garland and Samantha Orr were cotton and corn farmers in the Van Alstyne area, contributing much to the economy and the way of life here.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThey were Methodists, and he gave community service through the Knights of Pythias. His wife, also, was born in Texas, to Mr. and Mrs. Doug Boyd. She served the community as a member of the Heroines of Jericho Lodge.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nA grisly auto accident about dusk on March 29, 1966, took Garland Orr's life on the evening of March 28, 1966. He and his brother, Hugh, were driving on a twisted blacktop road four miles east of the city between Van Alstyne and the Cannon Community when they had a head-on collision with an automobile driven by Larry Neill at the top of a hill on the narrow county road. Garland Orr and Mrs. Anna Belle Neill, 42, lost their lives instantly when their two vehicles collided. Hugh Orr and Mrs. Neill's children - Larry, 15, and Linda, 10 - were taken to the hospital in serious condition. Many area residents, black and white alike, attended Garland Orr's funeral on Saturday, April 3, 1966, at Morning Chapel CME Church. He is buried in Van Alstyne Cemetery. His obituary, which was printed in the Wednesday, March 30, 1966 edition of the Sherman Democrat, identified him as a <q>Negro.<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nSamantha Orr died many years later in 1987, at the age of 84. She was a well-respected community worker. She also is buried in Van Alstyne Cemetery.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nTheir nephew, Lt. Col. Clyde Orr, not only served his community but also his country.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn March 1970, he and his family moved to Ethiopia, Africa, where he was assigned as Senior Infantry Advisor to the Ethiopian army about infantry tactics and operations. Before that, he was the commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Basic Combat Training Brigade at Fort Ord in California. His father, Hugh, survived the terrible crash of 1966 to see his son accomplish great things in the military.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMany Orr Family members still live in Van Alstyne, including Robinson Orr Sr., Robinson Orr Jr., and his wife, Patricia, Walter Nelson Orr and Nicole Orr.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":11,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bbl","art_title":"Mancai & Samantha Orr","art_title_sort":"Orr, Mancal & Samantha","art_contributor":"33","art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"<figure class=\"center\">\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/bbl_images\/_bible_records.gif\" alt=\"Bible Record\">\r\n<figcaption><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h4>Mancai & Samantha Orr<\/h4>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<figure class=\"center\">\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/bbl_images\/orr_family_bible-2.jpg\" alt=\"Orr Family Bible\">\r\n<figcaption><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<br>\r\n<h5>Front Page<\/h5>\r\n<figure class=\"center\">\r\n<img class=\"scan img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/bbl_images\/orr_family_bible_vitals\" alt=\"Orr Bible Records\">\r\n<figcaption><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<figure class=\"center\">\r\n<img class=\"photo img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/bbl_images\/orr_family_bible_marriages.jpg\" alt=\"Orr Bible Marriages\">\r\n<figcaption><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h5>Marriage<\/h5>\r\n<p class=\"center\">This Certifies that<br>\r\nPeter Bowen of Van Alstyne, TX<br>\r\nand<br>\r\nElizabeth Kirkpatrick of Sherman, TX<br>\r\nwere joined together in the bonds of<br>\r\nHoly Matrimony<br>\r\nat Kirkpatrick residence<br>\r\non the<br>\r\n25th day of May<br>\r\nin the year of Our Lord 1899<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<h5>Back Page<\/h5>\r\n<figure class=\"center\">\r\n<img class=\"scan img-responsive center-block\" src=\"images\/bbl_images\/orr_family_bible_vitals-2.jpg\" alt=\"Orr Bible Vitals\">\r\n<figcaption><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":1631,"art_date":null,"art_category":"vit-birth","art_title":"Mancil Orr","art_title_sort":"Orr, Mancil","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Biography\/FamilyBible\/Orr.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":177,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"John D.

P. Owenby of Orangeville, near Whitewright, was passed Friday.  Mr. Owenby was born Jan. 19, 1842, in Marshall County, Tennessee.  He was one of eleven children of Mr. and Mrs. Elie Gerald Owenby. His mother died in 1862, leaving a group of young children to be taken care of.  Mrs. J. L. Taylor of Pilot Grove, a sister of Mr. Owenby, was then 11 years old, and she being the oldest girl, it became her lot to look after the five younger children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although Mr. Owenby is now growing feeble and his eyesight is dim and his hearing almost gone, he is still able to tell many interesting facts concerning his early life and war time experiences.  Mr. Owenby enlisted in the Tennessee Western Division of the Confederate Army in the beginning of the war. He served under Generals Johnson, Acord and Bragg and was several times taken prisoner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><q><i>I carried in my vest pocket a small testament which I often read,<\/i><\/q> Mr.  Owenby said. <q><i>I promised the Lord that if I lived, was spared, and reached home again, I would served the Lord the rest of my life. When I returned home, my mother was dead and I helped my father reconstruct a shattered home and provide food and clothing for younger brothers and sisters. We had to work at anything we could to get food and clothing.<\/i><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><q><i>After I returned from the war, I united with the Methodist Church and have endeavored since that time to be faithful to my promise.<\/i><\/q><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mr. Owenby was married Oct. 16, 1873, to Miss Martha Jane Taylor.  It was a double wedding, his sister marrying J. L. Taylor, the brother of Mr. Owenby's wife.  The wedding ceremony took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Taylor in Tennessee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><q><i>In 1882 we came to Texas, making the trip by train.<\/i><\/q> Mr. Owenby said. <q><i>We rode on the train as far as Sherman, then got in a wagon and drove some twenty miles south and east to where the community of Pilot Grove is located, ten miles east of Van Alstyne.  I arrived at Pilot Grove with $14 in cash, a wife and four children. The first two or three years at Pilot Grove were hard ones. Cotton went as low as 4&cent; and everything else we had to sell was low in proportion. But this depression did not last. Later on I bought a farm located just north of Pilot Grove, and still later bought a larger farm, four miles north of Pilot Grove. I lived on the last farm until about a year ago, when I moved over to Orangeville, a few miles out of Whitewright, where I am making my home with my son, J. P. Owenby.<\/i><\/q><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Sept. 25, 1927, a family reunion of the six living brothers and sisters was held at the home of Dave Taylor, son of Mrs. Taylor, this being the first time some of them had met in half a century. The average age of the brothers and sisters at that time was 77 years.  Mr. Owenby and Mrs. Taylor have each lived to see four generations of their respective families and each has a comfortable home with his or her descendants.<\/p>\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**owenby_j_p_pic.jpg*J P Owenby<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":180,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Buck Owens","art_title_sort":"Owens, Buck","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/alancackett.com\/buck-owens-biography","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":181,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Dr. Lewis S.

There he married Melanie Theotiste Brouiillet (1835\u20131915), another Montreal native, in the Notre Dame de Montreal in March 1859.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nEdward's sister, Hannah Perry, married John Scullin (1836\u20131920) in 1859. They had five children and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. An experienced tracklayer, Scullin was contracted to build the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad from Leavenworth, Kansas, to Texas. Edward Perry was second in charge. After the road was completed in Kansas, Edward brought his family to Denison, Texas, while the road was constructing, as he was camping in the Indian Territory. The MK&T reached Denison on Christmas Eve of 1872.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Perry family made Denison home for many years. By the time the 1876-77 City Directory came out, Scullin had returned to St. Louis. Both men had parallel avenues (streets running north and south) in Denison named for them.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nEdward and Scullin founded the first bank in Denison, the First National Bank, located on the northeast corner of Main Street and Rusk Avenue. An advertisement in the Denison Daily News of April 5, 1874, listed Edward as the bank's cashier. The 1876-77 City Directory listed John Scullin as president, Edward Perry as vice president and acting cashier, William S. Lowe as teller, and William Perry as collector.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThat same year, Edward was president of the North Texas Compress Company, at the corner of Sears Street and Lamar Avenue. It would be one of Denison's largest businesses.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPerry served as mayor of Denison in 1874-75. He built his first home at 300 North Houston Avenue. It was a commodious two-story house set on five acres and had a large cellar, cistern, wells, and stables.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**perry_edward_home*First Perry Home<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"noIndent center whisper\">Edward Perry Home<br>\r\n300 North Houston Avenue<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Printed on front of photo: <q><i>First School of Sisters of St. Mary, 1876.

It was a twin, a duplicate of the first.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>In 1875, the Sisters of St. Mary of Namur purchased the Houston Avenue home from the Perrys, and, on January 24, 1876, it became the first location of St. Francis Xavier Academy, a girls' boarding and day school. In 1879 the sisters realized the need for larger quarters and built a substantial frame structure in the 300 block of Sears Street, near Rusk Avenue. After they had moved, the original Perry house burned in July 1880.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThis was a period when small railroads were being organized by Denison's early settlers. Scullin and Edward Perry were knowledgeable about such enterprises and led the way. Here are two examples of their efforts in this regard.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Denison and Pacific Railway, according to the Handbook of Texas Online, was originally organized as several projects of Col. Robert S. Stevens, John Scullin, and Ben Munson. <q>It was chartered on April 24, 1878, to build from Denison to Belknap, Texas, about 150 miles. The capital was $1.5 million, and the business office was in Denison.<\/q> Members of the first board of directors included Scullin and R. S. Stevens of St. Louis, Henry D. Mirick of Hamilton, Missouri, and R. C. Fister, Edward Perry, William H. Sanford, and Alexander W. Acheson of Denison. <q>In 1878-79, the company built 41.89 miles of track from Denison, the northern terminus, to Gainesville via Whitesboro. The line was abandoned in 1879, but on March 11, 1880, it was sold to the Denison and Southeastern Railway Company, which was renamed the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Extension Railway Company on March 23, 1880. Subsequent consolidation made what was once the Denison and Pacific one of the earliest acquisitions of the Katy in its intrastate expansion program.<\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Denison and Washita Valley Railway Company was chartered on January 8, 1886. In that year five miles of track was built in Texas from Warner Junction to Ray, and in 1895 two more miles of yard and side tracks were added. A second division of the company operated fifteen miles from Atoka to Coalgate, Indian Territory. An 1888 publication reported on the company's board: John Scullin, St. Louis, President; Ed. Perry, Vice-President; J. T. Munson, Treasurer; H. T. V. Perry, Secretary; Sam Hanna, J. B. McDougall, A. F. Platter, Sam Star, J. C. Feild, and A. R. Collins, board of directors. In 1895 the company owned one locomotive and 119 freight cars, and primarily served the coal mines in the Coalgate area. Edward Perry's son was prominent in this mining area. The railroad was owned by the Texas and Oklahoma Railroad Company, but was operated by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas until December 31, 1891. The Texas portion was then operated by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas until it was sold to that company on May 13, 1903.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAround 1888\u201390, according to the Sunday Gazetteer of January 9, 1927, Edward Perry built <q>four school buildings erected at the same time.<\/q> The contract was awarded to Perry, <q>who had stepped from the cashiership of a local bank and entered a general contracting business.<\/q> Each of the four buildings was located in one of the four wards. All four buildings were two stories, with four rooms on the first floor and four upstairs.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe 1891 City Directory listed four banks in Denison. Among these was the City Bank of Denison (presumably a branch of the Sherman City Bank), at 124 West Main. Edward Perry was listed as manager. In 1890, Patrick J. Brennan (1865\u20131925) moved from Montreal, Canada, to Denison to take the position of teller at the City Bank of Denison. As part of the established Irish community in Montreal, he must have had connections to Perry's family there. The City Bank officially consolidated with the National Bank of Denison on October 20, 1890, ushering in a new era in Denison banking.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPerry seems to have disengaged from banking at this point and devoted his attention to contracting. Thereafter, Edward Perry enhanced his reputation as a great builder who supplied the capital for many large enterprises in the Lone Star State. Edward died on December 29, 1918, in Medford, Jackson, Oregon. His wife Melanie died there in 1915.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":185,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Edward Joseph Perry","art_title_sort":"Perry, Edward Joseph","art_contributor":"9","art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":null,"art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":"<h4><center>Edward Joseph Perry<br>1860 - 1920<\/h4>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><sa>Edward Joseph Perry<\/sa>, who for a quarter of a century or more figured as one of the sterling citizens of Houston, and whose life there was one of many sided experience, bringing him in touch with many phases of industrial and commercial activity, took a constructive interest in the public affairs of and was a factor in the development of the city. Mr. Perry was of that type of business man inevitably destined to become an outstanding figure in any community wherein he finds himself, and with strong characteristics of initiative, combined with the asset of integrity and keen insight into business policies, the movements he launched during his lifetime were successful to a marked degree. Whether as a manufacturer, a broker, an undertaker, a civic worker, or a private citizen, Mr. Perry ranks as a citizen of the highest type, and his activities as an integral part of the life of Houston have left their imprint on the community.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBorn the thirty-first of March, 1860, at Leavenworth, Kansas, where his father, Edward Perry, banker, railroad builder and capitalist, was at that time supervising the construction of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, Mr. Perry spent his early boyhood in that place, and in Denison, Texas, to which city the family removed after the road was completed in Kansas. His mother was Miss Melamie Brouilette, a native of Montreal, before her marriage, as was also Edward Perry. The elder Mr. Perry made Denison his home for many years, and after the completion of the Katy road founded the first bank in that city. He was a great builder and supplied the capital for many large enterprises in the Lone Star State. The subject of this sketch was educated in Montreal, Canada, in the Catholic schools of that place, and after finishing his education there returned to Denison and entered his father\u2019s bank, later going into the wholesale commission business there. Still later he sold his commission business and engaged in the manufacture of press brick until November, 1894, at which time he disposed of his interests in Denison and came to Houston.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHis first interest in Houston was the mercantile brokerage business, wherein he amassed quite a small fortune. He later bought an interest in the Wall and Stabe Undertaking Com&shy;pany, still later buying the entire business, and taking complete charge of the management of the firm. He put this business on a high plane, developing it along the highest lines, and at the time of his death was still actively interested in it.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Perry was married to Miss Louise Scott, the twenty-third of April, 1890. Mrs. Perry was the daughter of Dr. John O. Scott, a native of Kentucky and Ellen Melvin, a native of Marion, Alabama, who came to Sherman in 1876 and was a prominent physician and surgeon there until his death in 1903. Mr. and Mrs. Perry had a family of four children, Ellen, Melamie, Edward Joseph, Vice-President and Manager of the Wall and Stabe Undertaking Company and his father\u2019s estate, and John S. Perry.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Perry died the twenty-fourth of May, 1920, at his home in Houston. He was a member of the Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus and various civic organizations. He was an enthusiastic supporter of civic activities, finding a happy satisfaction in watching the progress of his city along the highest lines of civic development. In the business world his outstanding attribute, aside from his integrity and natural endowments, was a spirit of co-operation, practically and intelligently applied that marked his association with his fellows. He was the exponent of all that was best in modern business, and his place in the commercial life of his city will long remain unfilled.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><b>Source:<\/b> New Encyclopedia of Texas, Compiled and Edited by Ellis A.

Scott, Jr.<\/sa>, a resident of Denison since 1904, will end 43 years as county engineer of Grayson and a much longer career in road construction and maintenance in this area.\r\nBorn at Leonard Feb. 6, 1891, he came to Denison with his family 57 years ago and attended public schools and the famed Harshaw Business Academy. He topped off his schooling with a four-year correspondence course in engineering, reinforced by a lot of practical experience in that field.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nOne of his earliest jobs was helping remodel the late Security Building from a wholesale hardware plant, for which it originally was erected, into an office structure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Starting in his late teens, Scott helped build the first, mac&shy;ad&shy;am&shy;izeroad in Texas, from Denison to Carpenter's Bluff, and figured in some of the first street paving in Denison and many miles of the first surfaced roads in this county.<\/p>\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**scott_heber_pic.jpg*Heber Scott<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**scott_paving_project.jpg*Early Paving Project<\/foto>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>H. M. Scott Sr., who took this picture, was serving as city inspector when a strip of East Main street was paved in 1912. The steam roller at the rear did extra duty by furnishing steam to operate the concrete mixer in the foreground. Much of the concrete used in street paving at that time was hand-mixed on huge platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1912<\/b> &mdash; Through the summer of 1912 he worked as a chairman and later as bridge and culvert inspector for Road District No. 1, the first in Grayson County.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1916<\/b> &mdash; Scott's first job with the county was in 1916 as assistant, to the then county engineer, Julian C. Field, who also was a Denisonian. Field and Scott are the only two men to hold the county engineer post. During his tenure as assistant county engineer, Scott helped build the first county-wide system of gravel roads, financed by a $962,000 bond issue. In all, 235 miles of roads were built, reaching into every community of any importance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1917<\/b> &mdash; He was on the ground floor of more Grayson road history in 1917, when he served as resident engineer for a road district, created in the Hagerman to vote all of $10,000 for 6-1\/2 miles of new gravel paving.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1918<\/b> &mdash; After a few months as resident engineer on a road construction program in Carter County, Okla., Scott became county engineer of Grayson May 26, 1918, and has held the post since.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1927<\/b> &mdash; A high point in his career was surveying routes for the county's first system of concrete roads, built after a 1927 bond issue. This still is the framework of the county's present highway system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>CRUDE EQUIPMENT<\/b> &mdash; There weren't any of the mechanical monsters that make small chores today of major road construction work.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>The only power, outside of teams, we had was steam engines which pulled graders, rollers, and the big plows.<\/i><\/q> Scott recalls. <q><i>All dirt was moved with slips, wheeled scrapers, elevating graders, and bottom-dump wagons all pulled by teams, preferably mules. We hitched as many teams in tandem as were needed to move the load.<\/i><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFor some time after Scott got into the business the then common practice of using prisoners for road work continued.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q><i>The prisoners were hauled, as many as 20 at a time, to work sites in huge wagon cages, which also served as their sleeping quarters. Four or five armed guards stood watch at all times. The prisoners didn't give us much trouble as you might think, but neither did they set any records as workmen.<\/i><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nOne of the unique techniques recalled by Scott was mixing concrete, something that is done in a continuous operation today by giant machines that spew out broad concrete paths.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nHe remembers that when Gandy street was paved about 1914 all of the concrete was mixed on room-sized platforms, much in the manner that a do-it-yourself home-owner today might mix a small batch of concrete for a step.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<b>SHOVELS KEPT BUSY<\/b> &mdash; <q><i>The sand, gravel, and cement were dumped in windrows,<\/i><\/q> Scott explains, <q><i>and a whole army of shovel wielders would start mixing the dry ingredients, with water then added gradually. As crude as the process was, we whipped up some concrete that workmen today are finding pretty tough when they rip it out for rebuilding jobs.<\/i><\/q>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nScott recalls that Frank Lee, a Negro now employed by the Goodman Co., was one of the workmen on the Gandy street project.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nBefore he got in the groove as county engineer, Scott flitted back and forth between jobs with the city as assistant engineer, with the interurban line, and in the engineering department of the Katy, which was widening curves and otherwise beefing up its track for the inauguration of the Texas Special as a blistering-fast passenger run.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**scott_first_viaduct.jpg*Denison's first viaduct<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**scott_second_viaduct.jpg*Denison's second viaduct<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>During one of his hitches at city hall, he helped plan the old viaduct, which was dismantled a few years ago. But, he won't accept blame for the design of the viaduct, which started on one street, cut diagonally across a block, and landed on another, producing two tight corners that proved a bane to later traffic.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":593,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-felony","art_title":" Jim Scott","art_title_sort":"Scott, Jim -

D. Shannon, Early Settler<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p><q><i>We came here (Wichita Falls), from Pottsboro, Texas, over near Caddo in the Choctaw nation. But I was born originally in Illinois, and the family came to Texas about 1872.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q>When we came here there wasn't anything here but ranches and a store or two. I worked on ranches as cowpuncher around here and in the Territory. There ain't no more real cowpunchers any more. This ridin' fence ain't nothin'. We ain't got any but Sears-Roebuck cowboys now, and what do they know about real cowpunchin', like when we had eight or ten thousand head of longhorns. Ever' mornin' we'd have to top off our horses. Maybe there'd be forty or fifty horses pitchin' at once, most of 'em four-year-olds that'd been runnin' loose on the range and hadn't felt a rope since they was branded. The cowmen wouldn't let you use a bridle with bits. You had to use a hackamore so the horses wouldn't get their mouth sore and cut up. Then they wouldn't graze good and would get in bad condition. Then, too, they'd run along in chasin' cattle and sling their head from side to side which kept them from watchin' their rootin' and they was liable to fall, and maybe break a leg.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q>Drivin' a herd on the trail you couldn't take your own horse. You had to use the cow outfit's horses so you couldn't quit the outfit on the trail.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q>One time we was goin' up the trail and got into the Territory, and we had a good big bunch of horses and about ten thousand head of cattle. I was about thirteen years old. A bunch of Comanches and Kiowas jumped the boys ridin' guard on the herd and killed four of the boys. I wasn't in that as I was at the camp at the wagon. They come up on us soon after sundown, so we couldn't skyline 'em. \"We punchers maybe wouldn't get to town more than once in six months, but the folks in town would probably remember us till the next deleted six months was up.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\n<q>A bunch of - about twelve of us went over to Denison once, when it was the nearest place of any size. We were all armed with six shooters and saddle guns. We got drunk, and decided to raise a lot of excitement by doin' some shootin'. We wanted to be as showable as we could. The sheriff and all the citizens it looked like got after us and run us plumb to the Red, and we jumped in and started swimmin' across, leavin' the sheriff and his bunch lined up on the bank because they couldn't follow us into the Indian Territory. We made it all right, none of us got drowned. But one of the bunch, Key Durant; he was a full blood Choctaw, saw a forked log comin' toward him and his horse with one fork stickin' up. He thought it was an alligator, and got scared and left his horse and swam off downstream. He had a sort of a hard time gettin' across because the Red has got a mean current for swimmin' across to the Oklahoma side, it keeps goin' toward the Texas side.

What could be more awe-inspiring than to see an old-time doctor, under whip and spur, saddlebags popping and flopping, on his way to see a patient sick enough to die.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h5>WHEN DOCTORS WERE SPECTACULAR<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>By far the most spectacular and picturesque doctor of the old school that I can recall was Dr. Martin. He was more than six feet tall, wore a wig, a long black frock-tailed coat buttoned up to his chin, a high-topped silk hat and cowhide boots, summer and winter. He had the funniest looking old horse I ever saw. This horse was about seventeen hands high, gotch-eared, sway-backed, ball-faced, and had a bad case of heaves and his name was <q>Shadrick.<\/q> A stranger meeting the old doctor on a dark night, with his coat tails flying and Shadrick going in a mad gallop, might easily have mistaken him for the devil's witch.\r\nFor many years Dr. Martin had no competitor in the village where I lived and his practice extended over a large part of the county. But finally another doctor appeared on the scene; he was also of the old school, who believed in giving much medicine, whether it was good for the patient or not. Am sorry to say that, like the Kilkenny Cats of classic lore, Dr. Martin and Dr. Spivins (that was the new doctor's name), thought there was one too many doctors and proceeded to act accordingly.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h5>KEEN COMPETITION<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>Dr. Spivins practiced in a two-horse buggy and when he got a call, no matter whether it was urgent or not, he whipped his team into a long lope to attract the attention of the villagers.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThis competition was hard on Shadrick. In order to counteract the fanfare, the clatter of hoofs and wheels of his rival, Dr. Martin proceeded to ride Shadrick with greater recklessness and abandon.\r\nI had forgotten to say that Dr. Martin had a wife and a beautiful daughter and Dr. Spivins had a wife and a grown son who was soon to graduate in medicine. Well, to make a long story short, the son visited his parents during Christmas holidays, met the daughter of his father's competitor, fell madly in love with her and after a few stormy scenes between father and daughter and father and son, the two young people were happily married.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nAfter this fortuitous event Shadrick was treated more humanely; unless it was an urgent case, he was allowed to jog along in a trot, and the same could be said of Dr. Spivins' buggy horse. Nothing but a life and death case could urge the good doctors to whipping their horses into a lope. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>"},{"art_id":1598,"art_date":null,"art_category":"trs-waterways","art_title":"Spring Creek","art_title_sort":"Spring Creek","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"http:\/\/www.tshaonline.org\/handbook\/online\/articles\/rbsex","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1599,"art_date":null,"art_category":"trs-waterways","art_title":"Springs of Grayson County","art_title_sort":"Springs of Grayson County","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/ANewLand\/Waterways\/springs\/Springs.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":1543,"art_date":null,"art_category":"trs-creeks","art_title":"Squirrel Creek","art_title_sort":"Squirrel Creek","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/tshaonline.org\/handbook\/online\/articles\/rbsgb","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":609,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-felony","art_title":" Harry Stacy","art_title_sort":"Stacy, Harry -

I was the fifth child of Hermie Olivia and Emerson Joshua Stephens. The children were all sons and I was a twin. My father died one month and one day before I was born. I know very little about my father. My mother told me that he was a hard working farmer who loved her and the children dearly and I know my mother was just as fond of him because she often spoke of him to me and I will always remember the beautiful expression of love and tenderness shown in her face whenever she answered the many questions Willard (my twin) and I asked her about our father.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**stephens_dillard_pic.jpg*Dillard Stephens, 1960's<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<foto>photo*bio*center**stephens_hermie_boys_1920s.jpg*ca 1920<\/foto>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><b>Back Row L - R:<\/b> Harris Ottis Stephens, b. 1909; Hermie Olivia Stephens, Joseph Stephens b. 1912.<\/p>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\"><b>Front Row L - R:<\/b> Raymond Stephens, b. 1914; Dillard Stephens, b. 1916; Willard Stephens, b. 1916.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>I cannot recall, as I write this, exactly how old he was when he died but I do know he was only in his early forties. Mama told me as a young child, that he died of acute indigestion. As I grew older I surmised that he had heart trouble. And I never pressed my mother for any other information or details because I knew it would sadden her. And it was more fun to have her tell me of all the happy times that she and my older brothers shared with him.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMama took us to Whitesboro, Texas where we all lived with her father and mother, Pa and Ma Crump, as we called them. They reared ten children, all of whom were grown and away on their own. A year later their eldest son's wife died in childbirth and Ma took the baby boy to care for. His name was Otis Jr. He grew up with all of us boys and of course he seemed like a brother rather than a cousin. His father did marry again later and had other children and though Jr. went to visit often with his dad in Arkansas, he would always return to Ma and Pa. He loved his dad but not his stepmother. Anyway, I was glad to see him come back because we were good buddies and he had a special <q>in<\/q> way to curry favors from Ma that none of the rest of us seemed to have. It didn't take me long to know that if I was right by Jr. Ma seemed to find it just as easy to pass out two favors as one.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMa and Pa lived in large house that they ran as a hotel. There was also a smaller house a few feet away that was called <q>the annex.<\/q> There was a total of near 20 rooms to let and the train station was only a vacant lot away. Pa would meet all the trains and drum up the Hotel business to travelers in need of a place to sleep while waiting for various trains. Whitesboro was a junction point for two railroad lines providing service in all four directions.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMama was kept very busy with doing the laundry (by hand) every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and the ironing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday plus cleaning the house. Of course Pa was up all hours to meet trains. He would sleep anytime he could find the time to do so. Ma did most of the cooking and supervised all the operations very sternly. Must say she did her job better than anyone. Looking back to those days I am now shamed at the times when I thought what an <q>old Blister<\/q> she was. But I know that I have always realized that she was truly a remarkable woman and that I was fortunate indeed that she was my grandmother. She was a great influence to my formative years as a youth.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFor instance, through her influence, I learned to build and keep the fire going under two big iron pots that Mama boiled for clothing and bed linens, to wind the hand wringer for Mama when she put the washing through five tubs of water and scrub the floors and to bring the wash in after it was dry so Mama could sort it all out to iron. Ma's influence also taught me how to make the beds, sweep the floors and tidy up all the rooms, of which, at the time. I was sure were at least a hundred - especially when my friends were waiting for me to participate in a scheduled game of baseball or a trek to big elm creek for a swim with them. I've gotten a little ahead of time because the baseball and swimming came a little later.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIt was just before the <q>crash of 29<\/q> when the Annex burned. Our neighbor, Mr. Sealy, had built and operating a store which was on the property line and too close to the Annex. Pa had protested the construction to no avail and as a result the relationship between Mr. Sealy and Pa was not good, to say the least. One cold winter night or early morning the store caught fire and in turn set the Annex to burning. The volunteer fire department came and only because of their good work the big house did not burn down too.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIt was so bad that they had us evacuated. I remember all of us standing out in the cold in our night clothes and Ma running around hollering and screaming because it was a situation she could not control, and telling the firemen she didn't know if everyone was out of the Annex. Pa had personally gotten out the last occupant but to his chagrin' Ma wasn't sure of that, no matter how many times he told her.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIt was Pa and Ma's belief that Mr. Sealy had set fire to his cracker box store for the insurance and after that I remember it was no longer <q>Mr. Sealy,<\/q> but old man Sealy to us kids, and we gave him a wide berth as some sort of an ogre.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n<p class=\"noIndent\">Hermie Olivia Stephens is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Whitesboro.<\/p>"},{"art_id":611,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-felony","art_title":" Tom Stephens","art_title_sort":"Stephens, Tom - Murder","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/HomeTownHeroes\/Lawmen\/Hodges_Charlie\/Hodges_Charlie.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":612,"art_date":null,"art_category":"crt-felony","art_title":" Frank Stephenson","art_title_sort":"Stephenson, Frank - Murder","art_contributor":null,"art_author":null,"art_position":null,"art_source":null,"art_prevnext":null,"art_ext_link":"https:\/\/www.usgenwebsites.org\/TXGrayson\/Crime&Punishment\/Felony\/Stephenson_Frank.html","art_lat":null,"art_lon":null,"art_styles":"","art_text":""},{"art_id":218,"art_date":null,"art_category":"bio","art_title":"Robert S.

B. Stephens<\/h5>\r\n<div class=\"colText\">\r\n<p>News was received in Denison Friday of the death at Attica, N. Y., of Col. Bob Stephens, one of the original promoters and founders of Denison. Mr. Stephens has, for many years, resided in St. Louis, and had gone to Attica to attend the funeral of a sister, where his death came about very much in the manner of that of Mr. A. R. Collins of this city last week.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nMr. Stephens was the general manager of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas construction company during the building of that road south from Parsons, Kan., through the Indian Territory to Denison. He was president of the Denison Town Company, and was the power behind the throne in the purchase of the land on which Denison stands, and the organization of the Denison Town Company. It was he who had the town platted and who set aside Forest park as a perpetual gift to the people as a place of public resort. The road reached here in the tall of 1872, and during the following year he assisted in the organization of the First National bank. In the fall of 1873 he organized the Denison and Pacific Company and began the construction of that road, which, in the following year was extended to Gainesville. About the same time the Denison and Southeastern Company was organized with Mr. Stephens as general manager, and that road was built first to Bells, then down to Whitewright, where the terminus remained until 1880. In that year the owners of the main line from Denison north to Hannibal, Mo., purchased the two branches from the Denison companies and the road was extended to Henrietta, and the one to the southeast on down to Mineola. By this time Mr. Stephens had disposed of about all his Denison interests, except the management of the First National bank. Since 1880 he has been largely interested in street car and ferry property at St. Louis, and at the time of his death was several times a millionaire.
