Notes |
- Ed, the sixth child, was a fun loving, adventurous youngster with an uncanny talent for craftmanship and mechanics. He married Lizzie Womble and fathered five children, Maude, Sarah May, Roger, Roy and Edward. I have childhood memories of Uncle Ed when he was rice farming on the ranch and living with his family in Galveston. He would stay at the ranch several weeks and then in Galveston a week. On every trip he brought us children a present; a large sack of lemon and peppermint sticks, a keg of gingersnaps, or best of all an entire stalk of bananas. He always brought several new stories, some for the children and some exclusive tidbits to be told only behind the barn, which was the menfolk's retreat. He told his yarns with great relish and skill, sometimes laughing so hard in expectation of the point of his story that he would need to stop and catch his breath. His skill in carpentry was known and appreciated throughout the countryside and the best expression of his talent was in the numerous sturdy and graceful boats that he built to play between Double Bayou and Galveston. While rice farming he built, and used for many years, the first disk plow. Since he did not bother to have the idea patented, it soon spread far and wide and was patented by another. My best memories of Uncle Ed relate to a time shortly before his death when my brother, Guy Cade, and I visited him armed with all the latest stories we could collect. Although he was very ill at the time, he rolled with laughter at all our tales and polished the visit off by telling a few good ones himself.
