(July 1997)

James Lovelady was a minister of the Christian Church (restoration movement, known as Cambellites - Karl Kiser). James and Nancy removed from White County, Tennessee, with other members of their family to Missouri by 1831, where James helped to organize the Salem Christian Church in Platte Co, Missouri. The family was in Victoria County, Texas by 1845, when James and Nancy were on the Board of the First Christian Church. James and Nancy had three children, all daughters.
(1.) Jane (married Jackson Butts on 29 Jan 1835, in Jackson Co., Missouri);
(2.) Sarah (married M. M. Jones and died in DeWitt County, Texas, in 1860); and
(3.) Ann (married A. Lee on 4 Nov 1847, in Victoria County, Texas).
Sadly, all three of James and Nancy's daughters died relatively young. However, they remained on close terms with their sons-in-law.

the following provided by Mary Ehlers, 3665 N. Bond, Fresno CA 93726:
James was born 1790-1800 according to 1840 Census (Platte Co, Missouri), married Nancy; died in Texas after 1880 when he was listed in the household of grandson George Jones in San Saba County.
James was in Missouri by 1831 when he and wife Nancy, with William Bowers and wife Catherine, deeded land to Thomas Linville. (see notes of Nancy Linville Lovelady).

Our local library has "Missouri Miscellany". It is nothing more than a hodgepodge of genealogical items that some publisher threw together into a series of volumes. From Volume I, Woodruff, 1976:
"24 Dec 1831, William Bowers and Catherine, his wife & James Lovelady and Nancy, his wife, to Thomas Linville sum of $120.00, E 1/2 of SW Quarter of Section 36, Township 50, Range 33, 80 acres. Witness: George Manship J.P., Rec 31 May 1832 Jackson County, MO)

This is all there is and probably would not be considered a 'source' as it does not give any other details like a deed would.

Would you please send me a copy of the deed reflected in the following citation and mail to the address indicated in the letterhead. I have enclosed a check for $10.00 to cover the look-up and copy fees.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
______________________
The Salem Christian Church, Platte Co, Missouri, was organized 31 Dec 1837. Among its constituent members were James Lovelady, an Elder, and his wife Nancy. He was a minister of the Christian Church. By 1845 he was in Victoria, Texas, where was on the Board of Directors of the First Christian Congregation with Nancy Lovelady and Jackson Butts. He and his wife Nancy are shown on the 1860 Census (Dewitt Co, Texas)

1820 Smith Co , TN-
James (1797);
1 male under 10;
1 male 26-45 (1775-1794) (James 1797) a bit old
1 female under 10 (1810-1820) this would be Jane, but 1830 census did not show a daughter born before 1820.
1 female 16-26 (1794-1804) (Nancy 1800)

(This is not our James. It is the son of John Lovelady. He was born in 1760 and died in 1837 or so. John was the brother of Thomas Lovelady (John Reedy)

However, interesting that White Co formed from Smith Co in 1806.


1820 White Co, TN - James' father Thomas confirmed there, family profile fits.

1830 Missouri Census - Jackson County

1833: James Lovelady is likely to have some additional interesting details from October 1833 (Battle of Mormons or Battle of Big Blue--Kaw township, Jackson county, MO). I have not had a chance to fully follow the clues. The Mormons had a colony west of the Big Blue and there was violence because the Mormons voted in block and others took exception. A Thomas Linville was killed 31 Oct 1833. (Karl Kiser, 4 Mar 2010)

After 1860:
Letter from Mary (g-daughter) dated Dec 22, 1862 states: "He asked about Grandma & Pap (James Lovelady) he said if he knew where to write to he would write to them.... We have not heard from any of you nor Grandma and Pap."
(Nancy living in 1862)

probably between 1866-1970)
Letter from Frances (wife of George, Mary's brother, g-daughter-in-law of Loveladys) wrote from Red Rock (Central TX) in May (no further date) "Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time."
Mary was in Oak Hill, near LaGrange, TX, Oct 17th '70, per dated letter. (county?)
(This is apparently after the war as it is said that George lived in near Schulenburg in Lavaca Co. at that time, later moving to Central TX. Nancy must have died by this time.)

Ann married in 1847. If this is Sarah -- then where is Ann? Ann would be under 10 per the 1830 census when she wasn't born yet. This has to be Ann even though it's the wrong age group. That means Sarah isn't accounted for here.

Mary writes, "I had lost all trace of Pa's and George's whereabouts. I had written to Henry Shapes to know if he knew where Grandpa was. I have not received an answer."
"Mr. Dabney and Brother came by on their way home from Lyons where they had been holding a meeting. He said they had seen Grandpa and George."
Lyons is in Burleson County, but this only indicates there were at a meeting there. Perhaps they were living nearby. Frances writes a letter, estimated as 1877, stating she had "not heard from Burleson" She and George were in Red Rock and she stated that James Lovelady had left there - so, not sure who was in Burleson.


Census:
Frances living in Red Rock, dates her letter simply "May." Guessing this is about 1877. She writes to Susan Bounds Butts
"Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time. I got a letter from Mary the same day I got yours. She was well and doing well."
Leonard surmised Mary was in Burleson, but that would not be enroute from Red Rock to Lavaca. Perhaps this was after Nancy died, or perhaps it was after Mr. Norton died. Mary might have still been living near LaGrange.

After Jane Lovelady died, he married Catherine Poland, probably about 1848-9. Catherine was born in 1829 in Tennessee who also died a year or two after their marriage. He then married Susan Bounds, daughter of Henry C Bounds, in 1852 in Victoria. There are many letters written by children of Mabra Jones to Susan, who they regard as their aunt. Even though by Jane's death, Jackson was no longer related to the Jones and Lovelady families, except through his children, he stayed close; and Susan became an integral part of the family as well. She is the g-grandmother of Leonard B. Meyer of Halletsville (b 1902) who has been so gracious as to provide much local information on the Jones, Lovelady and related families.

Jane is buried somewhere in Victoria County

Notes:

(From Leonard B Meyer)
July 24, 1997
Dear Sherry Sharp:

Your letter came yesterday, and some material from Wilma came today. I told my wife Ruth that it seems I have acquired another fan in Wilma, that making two, Ruth being the other one! I am glad that what I have contributed is appreciated,d I appreciate what I have received also.

Perhaps I should make it clear how I acquired this much information regarding such a limited time span. A few years ago, I got possession of a bunch of old letters and documents far long enough to transcribe them by hand, into three bindef legal paper. I started out trying to learn more about the Butts family from which I am descended, and from there the search proliferated into the Lovelady, Bownds (Bounds?) and other families.

My great-grandfather, Jackson Butts, married Jane Lovelady as his first wife. She died August 31, 1847. He married a second wife, Catherine Poland, who died within a year or so, then in 1852 he married Susan Bownds who was my great-grandm. So, you see, there is no blood relationship between me and the Loveladys, except for Jackson's oldest daughter Margaret Ann, who was Jane's only survivor who had children. But Pappy Lovelady wrote to Jackson and Susan as son and daughter, Mary Jones addressed her as "beloved aunt," and Stephen wrote to my grandfather as "Cousin Berry."

I think there is no doubt that the Loveladys, Buttses, and Joneses were in Victoria County in 1844, as one of Jackson's sons, Andrew, appears as born in Texas about that time. Also I have a copy of a handwritten receipt which goes "Receif Jackson Butts the sum of five dollars in full of his state and county tax for the year 1849 - F.U. Fordham, Ass & Coll, V.C., Victoria County."

Also, Ann, the youngest Lovelady girl, married Alfred Allee November 4, 1847. And I have a copy of the Bill of Sale of the home of James Lovelady to Edward Fink, Lot #1, Block 117, Range 8, Victoria, April 24, 1852.

In the statement in the summation sent by Wilma regarding the organization of the First Christian Congregation in Victoria, about James and Nancy being on the board, there is a little error. Those named, James and Nancy, Jackson, Sarah any Jones, A. Allee (Ann had already died) and perhaps Felix Webb, were the whole congregation!

It must have been in 1852 that the Loveladys and Joneses moved over into Dewitt County on the Manahurla Minnuvee Creek, also called Buzzard Roost Country.

There was quite a lot of communication between the Joneses and Butts families in the '50s. In 1860, George was going to school in Goliad. A letter from Mary goes thus: "We are all about to leave this country. Pap (James) and Grandmaf going to the mountains. They have sold their cattle." There seems to have been a terrible drought that caused many people to leave that area. Added in a postscript at the beginning of the letter is "I have got the sweetest little brother. He can sit alone. He is as fat as a pig." That must have been Henry at several months old; and it is apparent that Sarah must have died soon after Henry's birth. So my date of 1860 must be an error of reading an indistinct date.

So, Mabry and Mary, and perhaps others moved to Terryville, on the line between Dewitt and Lavaca Counties. But Susan Mariah must have married to A Wiggins and was still living at Middletown or Weesatche. Susan later lived at Hoss Bluffrty County and urged George to come out there, as that area needed a doctor and singing school teacher. But that was in 1872, after the war! Instead, he seems to have married Frances Bosworth and was living near Schulenburg in Lavaca County. From there, in connection with the Bosworth family, we find him living up in Central Texas, Red Rock, Pettytown, maybe San Saba and finally Stephenville. He and Frances are buried in West End Cemetery, Stephenville, Erath Co, Texas.

I have no date for Mary's marriage, but she and Mr. Norton moved to Oak Hill near LaGrange, Texas. After several years, they moved to North Texas, then moved back. Mary was living in Burleson County about 1914. According to the reuni, Mary had married a Moore, and Sue had married a Linthicum.

Mary never had any children (by choice), and I am of the opinion that the friction between her and Mabry was because she married and did not continue to take care of his "four little motherless boys" as she put it. Anyway, she tried toe of the boys, as George and Sue did. Mabry farmed the boys out at times, some of them to my great-grandmother Susan. But the 1870 Census reveals that Stephen and Andrew were living with Mabry and Martha then, as well as daughter Nancy and Nellie (b 1864 & 1868) and the 1880 lists a son Joel A, born November 28, 1874.

I am confused about the children of Martha listed as being born in Chambers Co, after Nancy (Nannie) and Nellie, also Joel A. I know nothing about Laura, Tom, Anna, Alice and John, but those named above were in the 1870 and 1880 Lavaca Cos records and must have been in Lavaca Co at that time. Also, it is a matter of record that Mabry officiated at the wedding of his father-in-law, Dr. Joel Ponton, to Harriet Koonce on October 1, 1871, near where I now live in Lavaca Co. However, it may well explain Stephen's reference to having been to Beaumont on one occasion.

Incidentally, I have noticed that Mabry and Sarah had a daughter Nancy J, born 1848, next after Sue. About the name ---- in the document about the Organization of the First Christian Congregation, the name is Mayberry, which no doubt is t, shortened to Mabry usually, but spelled Mabarie by Margaret Ann Butts Cooley.

I have just been checking the list of Mabry's children and the dates given for their births seems to have been made from a faulty memory. Assuming, I think correctly, that the three families came to Texas in 1844, it seems obvious that Ge841 and Mary 1843 were born in Missouri, but there is some doubt about Susan 1846 and Nancy 1848, though I think they were born in Texas. But Cyrus 1852, Stephen 1854, Andrew 1857, were born in Texas because the document of the Organization of the First Christian Congregation in Victoria has the names of M.M. and Sarah, date of March 28, 1849. Henry was not listed in the census of 1860, so his birth date 1863 is probably correct. It is on record that Cyrus Jones was in Goliad Co in 1870, age 18, seemingly living with relatives after the breakup of the Jones family. But in a letter from Mary she wrote that Susan Mariah (Margaret Ann Butts spelled Mariar) wrote that Mr. Wiggins had "joined the church" and that Cyrus intended to. I wonder if this Cyrus was one of the Wiggins children. In this letter Mary complains that Mabry had George and Susan a brother to keep, but had refused to give her one.

As far as I had known previously, Margaret Ann, Jackson's daughter, Sue Wiggins, and George were the only Lovelady descendents, and I am glad to find there were others. I have been trying to find some of the Jones descendents for some ythout success.

I was born, not many miles from where the Joneses and the Loveladys lived, in Goliad County, at a later date, Dec 7, 1906. From that you will notice that I will be 91 on my next birthday. My handwriting has deteriorated considerably spied these letters.

I am sending this information for you to consider, before I send any copies. I will have to go through the letters to find some that will illustrate what I have written. But as I wrote Wilma, I have three binders full of writings, ant want to let them get away, possibly in the mail. I have suggested that Ron Lehde, who lives in Victoria, copy those he wants to, but she/Wilma reports that his copier is in need of repair. Since Sherry Sharp has a son John in Houston, I might make the same offer to him. Or I might leave the material at my son's place, 30211 Charlie Lane, Magnolia, Texas 77355. Maybe something can be arranged.
Sincerely,
Leonard B. Meyer

Notes:

She married Alfred Alonzo Lee Alee on 4 November 1847 in Victoria Co. He was born in 1820 in Pennsylvania. They had a daughter Julie Allee born in 1848.

1850 Victoria Census, Alfred, age 30, a mechanic, is living with James and Nancy Lovelady.

The Victoria Advocate, Thursday, April 10, 1997, Old Clinton was Home to Many Interesting Families:
(1) (Alfred Al. Lee, which somehow became Allee) first married Ann Lovelady, daughter of a pioneer preacher, and after she died about 1850, he married Julia Wilcox in Lavaca County on August 31, 1854, with Lovelady officiating. Buried at Weesatche.
+ Julia A. Wilcox Allee, buried in the old Clinton Cemetery near Cuero.
(2) Alonzo Rolland Allee, killed at Goliad in 1897 and is also buried at Runge.
(2) Alfred Y. Allee (Alfred and Julia) - Texas Ranger - killed in 1895 at Laredo and is buried at Runge.
(3) Alfred Y. Allee, killed at Crystal City in 1918
(3) Alonzo W. Allee - Texas Ranger
(4) Alfred Y. Allee, Sr. - Texas Ranger for 37 years; served as deputy sheriff in Bee County during Meriam "Ma" Ferguson's term as governor when he and other Rangers resigned, returing only after the election of James Allred in 19n 1987, one of the "more colorful of the old-style Rangers in recent times."
(5) Alfred Y. Allee, Jr. - also joined the Rangers

"The Allees are of the famous Texas Ranger family....It is an interesting family whose Texas roots go back to the area where Julia A. Allee was laid to rest in old Clinton Cemetery during the Civil War, a war that would end in Confederate defeat and bring Reconstruction to the South, putting Clinton on the map as one of the most turbulent towns in Texas. All that is left of the old county seat of DeWitt County is the cemetery... Many South Texas families have roots in and around old Clinton, including some of the most historically interesting families to be found anywhere in the state, such as that of Julia A. Allee, mother to a family of Texas Rangers."

Julia Wilcox Allee had a sister, Mary Jane Wilcox, who married Jackson Jacobs. He was killed while serving as sheriff of Goliad County.

Notes:

In a letter dated July 17, 1854, from the State of Mississippi, Jasper Co, to her father Jackson Butts, Margaret states:
"Dear Father, I embrace this opportunity of writing to you to let you know that we are all well at this time hoping this may find you the same. We got to Jasper on the 19 of June after traveling one month and 14 days. I am satisfied with thountry but should be better satisfied if you were all here. It seems lonesome all tho I have friends.
Our oxen give out. ey begin to fail before we crossed the Mississippi River and father left us and went home and got more oxen and met us at Leaf River and helped us on. The land hunters found no place to move to but father and three of hiothers is gone at this time to Louisiana to look them places and has not cme home yet. They left home on the fourth of July..."
Another letter dated May 11, 1861 is from Wain County, Mississippi. In the letter, she is awaiting a visit from her brothers Andrew and John that following fall. Evidently the start of the War prevented the planned trip. Both brothers ring the war: John in prison at Camp Butler. IL 28 Feb 1863 and is buried in the Confederate Section near Springfield, Illinois in Plot #785; and Andrew died on 4 July 1864 at Banquet, TX, by being thrown from a horse. It is not known if he was in the service or not.
Margaret Ann was the only one of Jane Lovelady Butts' children to have children. One of her granddaughters, wrote the following letter:
Odessa, Texas, July 8, 1970

Dear Mrs. George A. Rudisill,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I was so happy & glad to here from (you) and thanks for the wonderful messages you have sent me. As I read through all these it brings memories back too - as I remember so much about my Dear Grandmother. Id her so very much. She did not get to visit us much. Dad & Mother took us children to visit with her and oh it was such a joy.
Grandmother was such a sweet nice person. She had many friends I remember Grandpa sitting on the porch smoking his pipe after he eat dinner or putting a chair on the floor with a pillow to rest. Grandmother was so nice and sweet to Grannyndpa's mother, most people say Aunt Easter. I remember seeing her 3 daughters, Aunt Laura - Aunt Liza and Aunt Mary Ann - Aunt Liza married Lewis Davis in Covington Co, - I believe at Seminary, Miss. Aunt Laura married a Best. Aunt Mary Ann married Harbard Sanderson.
Granny was visiting in Aunt Mary Ann's Home for a few days when Grandmother Margaret Ann died. Granny loved Grandmother very much. She said when they told her of Grandmother's death "the best friend I ever had was gone" - that was true.
Grandmother's funeral was held over for six months - why, I don't remember - they buried her and then in six months the funeral was peached at Hollis Creek Baptist Church & buried in the semanary (cemetery) there. Poor dear Granny was so gd when my mother went to leave. She cryed and sang a fairwell song I believe the title of the song was "They say, Dear Friend, that we must part, it draws like cords around my heart." It was such a beautiful song.
I did not get to see Granny again. She lived with Uncle Robert and Aunt Lula and Grandad then. I don't think Uncle Robert's wife was good to Granny Easter. She took many hard falls, and my mother said she would fall and could not get up ould call for Grandmother altho she was dead. My mother tried to get her but Granddad would not give his consent - he had her so long, as in one of Grandma's letters she said 29 years.
I remember the spring she mentioned it was across the road that is front of the home back of the Garden. It was such clear cool watter we children would help bring watter to the house tho sometime I don't remember Grandpa and the boys putg well in the front yard it had a shelter over it. Once Grandmother sent me to fetch some watter from the well and the Pully came louse (loose) and almost pull me in the well. Grandmother would tie her milk pails to the rope and let the milk in the well and it was nice & cool.
I have written to my Brother and his wife to see about having reprints of Grandmother and Granddad. I know they have enlarged pictures of them but I think they have a 8x10 which I ask if I could get a reprint of them if it could be done.
I written to Mr. Meyer I have not heard from him. What I am interested in is would be my great-grandparents. Grandmother's Dad and Grand Dads family back as far as I can get them it will be appreciated very much.
Forgive writing and spelling. I am 75 years old 4th of last April - not old if my health was better. Please write me again.
Sincerely yours,
Mary Viola Lee.

Mary writes, "I knew Pa and George did not want to hear from me for they knew where to write to me and the knew I did not know where their Post Office was. I have written to Pa three or four times and he has never replied. I cannot bear to give up the boys but I guess they have forgotten me, or want to.'

"Mary writes, "I had lost all trace of Pa's and George's whereabouts. I had written to Henry Shapes to know if he knew where Grandpa was. I have not received an answer."
"Mr. Dabney and Brother came by on their way home from Lyons where they had been holding a meeting. He said they had seen Grandpa and George."
Lyons is in Burleson County, but this only indicates there were at a meeting there.

George is not found in 1870 census, nor is James Lovelady, and apparently the family does not know where they are.

Notes:

A letter from Mary (apparently written around 1863-1864) goes thus: "We are all about to leave this country. Pap (James) and Grandma talk of going to the mountains. They have sold their cattle." There seems to have been a terrible drought that caused many people to leave that area.
Added in a postscript at the beginning of the letter is, "I have got the sweetest little brother. He can sit alone. He is as fat as a pig." That must have been Henry at several months old.
Apparently she had been married previously to a Mr. Norton. They had moved to Oak Hill near LaGrange, Texas. After several years, they moved to North Texas, then moved back. Mary was living in Burleson Co about 1914. According to the n item, Mary had married a Moore and Sue had married a Linthicum.
Mary never had any children (by choice), and I am of the opinion that the friction between her and Mabry was because she married and did not continue to take care of his "four little motherless boys" as she put it (which would have been Cyrus abt 11, Stephen abt 9, Andrew abt 6, Henry abt 1).
Anyway, she tried to get one of the boys, as George and Sue did. In another letter, she complains that Mabry had given George and Susan a brother to keep, but had refused to give her one.
Mabry farmed the boys out at times, some of them to my great-grandmother Susan. But the 1870 Census reveals that Stephen and Andrew were living with Mabry and Martha then, as well as daughter Nancy and Nellie (b 1864 & 1868) and the 1880 lis a son Joel A, born November 28, 1874.

Stephen's letter of Jan 19 1916 mentions "Mary, Sue and myself reside here" - Waco, McLellan Co.

After Mary was widowed and in her senior years, she lived with her daughter Runie and family, the Strickers. Granddaughter Mary "Nona" Stricker wrote a journal entitled "Texas Girlhood" and wrote of her grandmother,
page 36
"Grandmohter was a wonder despite several disabling physical afflictions with which she lived for many years. One of these ailments directly influenced the expansive rotundity of her unrestrained middle - all stomach to our anatomically untutored minds. She found irrepressible joy in living, and laughed long and often with such gusto that her "stomach" shook without solemnity, much to our delight. Though sevent-five and mostly sedentary, Grand had the appetite of an adolescent boy. How she enjoyed food! And why not? She still had all her own teeth, and a handsome set they were although no dentist had ever had a closeup of them.

"Grandma's chief source of joy was her family of brothers and a sister. When we were very young we used to wonder why she and great aunt and Susie always cried when they met after being separated for even a short (page 37) while. Grandma and these brothers and this sister she had mothered formed in their later yers the nucleus of the Jones family reunion. How they adored each other and reveled in being together - Mary (Grandma),Stephen, Cyrus, Andrew, Henry, and Susie. The several half-brothers and sisters were also welcomed, as were, of course all the children, grandchildren, and in-laws. They loved to sing and enjoy most of the songs of the Sacred Harp. First, the notes of the traditional Do-Re-Mi and Fa-sol-la tunes were named and sung. Then the words.

"Our five room house was headquarters for one year's retunion. Of course we couldn't sleep them all, but though parcelled out to other relatives at night, the whole crowd ate, sand and enjoyed each other at our house during the days of the customary week. When Grandma died at seventy-seven, the joyous circle was broken, and it seemed to be understood there would be no more Jones family reunions."

"Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time. I got a letter from Mary the same day I got yours. She was well and doing well."
Leonard surmised Mary was in Burleson, but that would not be enroute from Red Rock to Lavaca. Perhaps this was after Nancy died, or perhaps it was after Mr. Norton died. Mary might have still been living near LaGrange.

from "Texas Girlhood" by granddaughter, Mary Ann "Nona" Stricker, "When Mama (Runie) was bout ten the family went to live with Grandma's younger brother in Palestine, Texas. This didn't prove to be the promised land either. To make the arrangements business like, Grandma was to do the cooking for the combined families, which numbered some eleven Jones and Moores. Things bumped along the inevitably rough road until Mama, with a child's lack of discretion, caused a conflagration with consumed the slight store of amenities left."

Mary's granddaughter, Mary, called Nona, wrote a journal called "Texas Girlhood." Mary, age 77, was living with her daughter Runie and Nona was 15 years old. She wrote of that night when Mary died, "When Grandma died at seventy-seven, the joyous circle (yearly reunions at alternating homes) was broken, and it seemed to be understood there would be no more Jones family reunions.
"One midnight in 1921, I was startled awake by cries of discress. I called Mama and Papa and we rushed to Grandma's room. But she was already only partially conscious. After seventy-seven years, her merry heart had just stopped beating. She couldn't have known for long that the time for her departure had come. And that was well. she loved life but not for the material blessings it had bestrowed on her. The only tangible legacy she left us was, rather appropriately, a piano. She had made what seemed at the time an even trade when she deeded Uncle Henry a lot in south Houston for the charred remains of a piano, the interior of which he had rehabilitated. Papa remade and refinished the exterior. It was something of a disappointment to the eye, but its tone made one forget that."

Notes:

After Sarah died, Mabra let Susan "have" Andrew. Evidently she was instrumental in his rearing. If Sarah's death year is indeed 1863, Andrew was 5 years old and Susan was 17.
It is known through a letter written by Mary to her aunt Susan that she had a baby who was a couple of months old and only 7 pounds.

In Andrew's obit, she was listed as a surviving sister living in Waco as Mrs. J.D. Linthicum.

Note in Leonard's letter: "Susan Mariah must have married to A Wiggins and was still living at Middletown or Weesatche. Susan later lived at Hoss Bluff in Liberty Co and urged George to come out there as that area needed a doctor and singing school teacher. But that was in 1872, after the war."

Mary wrote, "Mr. Rabb thinks as much of Bob as he does his own. Bob joined the church last summer. He is exactly one year younger than Cyrus. The last letter I got from Sister and Cyrus said Mr. Wiggins had joined and Cyrus wanted to join the church. Sister said now she and her husband could commune together. Did she tell you about her little bit of a baby only weighed 9 lb at two months old. She said she wanted us to look for her a home in Northern Texas."

Stephen's niece, Mary Ann "Nona" Stricker, daughter of Runie Moore Stricker, and granddaughter of Stephen's sister, Mary Jones Norton Moore, wrote a journal of her young life and called it "Texas Girlhood." Within that journal she wrote of Stephen: (pg 12)
"When I was five death brought us to the right side of the river to live. Fragile Aunt Allie (Stephen's wife) had crossed the long visible bar, and Mama's Uncle Stephen and counsin M.C. (Mabra Chesnut) needed someone to keep house for them. So, we moved to Bell's Hill. Uncle Stephen's house was huge -- five rooms and a hall, and latticed back porrch, which served as a bedroom by night and dining rom by day. There was running cold water but no bathroom. There was a large sistern in which, after washed the roof, the rain water was caught and hoarded and from which it was sparingly dawn to provide drinking water, rain water and rice pudding being Uncle Stephen's favorite table delicacies.
"Uncle Stephen was gentle, dignified, and we all loved him. He worked on the editorial staff of the daily newspaper, and that was a mysterious and fascinating occupation. To me he was personification of affluence, both mentally and materially. Soon after we descended upon his quiet establishment he became our banker-broker. He set aside a pocket in his coat for each of the three of us children and staked us to a nickel apiece, which was to rustle for us during the day. Each night as he came up the walk, three eager investors run to meet him and to feel in their respective pockets to see if their nickels had rustled any that day. Sometimes they had and sometimes they hadn't." pages 12 and 13

and then page 44
"After her death in 1921 and until his own in 1923, Uncle Stephen took Grandma's chair at our table. Rice pudding was still served extra often, but the intervening years had destroyed his indifference to the hazards inherent in unpurified rainwater. His vacant chair and bed were taken by paternal Grandma." Thus we were six as far back as I can remember."

Obituary.
Stephen L. Jones of the Times-Herald news staff died suddenly at 1:20 Wednesday afternoon following an illness of about two weeks. He died at the home of his niece, Mrs. H. J. Stricker, 1620 N. 15th Street with whom he resided. Mr. Jones was taken sick a week ago last Saturday, but it was not thought that his condition was serious. He came down town Thursday of last week, but found that he was not able to remain out. Yesterday morning, he seemed better, but soon after he had eaten his noonday meal, he fell back on the bed and died before a physician could reach him.
He was known as Steve Jones to many here and had been in the county about 50 years. He was engaged in agriculture a short time, but began newspaper work in Waco showing remarkable aptitude and a great liking for the business. He was editor of the old Waco Day and also was on the reportorial staff of the Waco Evening News. He was one of the owners of the Waco Morning Times which later merged with the Waco Morning Herald, now known as the Waco Times Herald. He had been with the Times-Herald 25 years and was editor one time. He had been day correspondent of the Associated Press several years and was thus representing them at the time of his death.
He was peculiarly fond of newspaper work, and was painstaking conscientious and able. He took great interest in politics and made this a matter of much study. He was always a staunch democrat. He was always loyal to Waco and gave freely of his time and means to promote the interests of this city. Mr. Jones was a member of the Central Christian Church and was known as one of the most active and earnest members of that congregation. His was a peculiarly frank, unaffected, sincere nature and to know him was to feel instinctive confidence in him.
He is survived by his son, M. C. Jones of Indianapolis, Ind, formerly of Waco, three brothers and one sister, Henry Jones, Houston, Cyrus and Andrew Jones, Beaumont, and Mrs. J. D. Linthicum, Waco, his niece, Mrs. H. J. Stricker of Waco, heretofore mentioned. Funeral arrangements will be definitely completed when the son, M. C. Jones of Indianapolis names the hour.
(from John Reedy)

Stephen married Almina "Allie" Chesnut in 1881 in Texas. Almina (daughter of Joseph B. Chesnut and Mary E. Marley) was born on 30 Jun 1861 in Christian Co, Missouri; died on 22 Sep 1910 in Waco, McLennan Co, Texas; was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Waco, McLennan County, Texas, USA.

and "How long is Andrew going to stay with you? Pa lets the boys go and stay other places but will not let them come to see me but maybe they do not want to come live with us. We are going where they have fine schools. Mr. Norton wants me to try again to get Andrew to come live with us. I know we can do more for him than Pa will ever be able to do he has let Sister and George have a brother, and now when I ask him for one he will not let me have one. I guess he thinks I do not deserve one. I wonder if he remembers who took care of his four little motherless boys for him. I wish you would ask Pa to let me have Andrew."

and, "I suffer a great deal of uneasiness about Stephen and Andrew."

Letter furnished by Olive Massie:
on The First State Bank, Murchison, Texas, letterhead
Galveston, Texas, May 16, 1925

Rev J.W. Stephens,
Palestine, Texas,

Dear Brother Stephens,
Today at five p.m. Brother Henry Jones passed away and his body will be in your church Sunday afternoon for the funeral services. I can not refrain from writing you this line. He was a member of the church there for years. When I was pastor his devotion to the church was beautiful indeed. I have known him to come to prayer meeting with his work clothes in a grip and change in the back room and rush off before the services was over. If he could not get all of the service he got what he could.
He had a good voice and sang in the choir when not out on his run. He had a splendid ability in looking after the organ. I have known him to come direct from the engine when his run was over and put in hours on the organ before he even went home.
He was a man of intelligence and he loved the word of God. In his last illness and in fact for several years he could not hold a book but had a frame made that would hold his book for him, and he read the Bible over and over again. He read in other books that pertained to the Bible, this was especially true of Josephus. He was a man of prayer and exercised most marvelous patience. Though he had been very active man and was now tied down he did not murmur. He loved the church and its services and missed them very greatly. He loved his brethren and missed them very keenly as he could not stand to be in any kind of a crowd or to be in the company of strangers.
This is a volunteer testimony as to the character of the man over whose remains you are to stand may God bless you and that service.
Sincerely your Brother,
A.E. Ewell.


In handwritting on the letter is "For Aunt Nellie Wooten. Aunt Nellie I am giving this to Grandma to mail to you. How is Nell? I am going to write her soon. Love & kisses your niece, Bessie."

Bevilacqua Store:
as a child I remember going to the grocery store with my grandparents or with my mom when she would take my grandmother to the store. The store was Bevilacqua's, and at that time it was being run by the kids - particularly Camille, who was the daughter my grandmother was closer friends with, and her brother Charlie. But other kids also worked in store including Concetta and Spike. Concetta went to Beaumont High School and was in my dad's class. The store was located on the corner of Washington Blvd and Ave C, and they lived in the house behind the store. They always gave me a soda or candy and were very nice. The building and house are still there (2011) and the store is now tax preparation place.

The parents were Vincent and Concetta Bevilacqua, and were at 2490 (illeg in census but between 2450 and 2510 Park) in the 1930 census. They were immigrants from Italy in 1897, having lived in the United States for 29 years. The census shows him 56 (1874) years old and she 53 (1877) He states married at age 26 and she at age 23, calculating to 1900, but best guess is they married in Italy, before 1897.

_________________________



Kautland and Eberhardt neighbors:
living next door to my grandparents were the Katulands. The Kautlands were there forever and even after my grandmother died in 1977. Their daughter Hilda Mae married Carroll Dean - he went by "Dean" - Eberhardt, and my mother was friends with her. She had a child Dennis Dean Eberhardt, who was born just before I was - he on 1 Jul 1946 and me the following Sep. 1946. Hilda made a very pretty little blue dress for me when I was still an infant, and mother had my portrait made wearing that little blue dress. I can remember playing with Dennis sometimes when I would go over to my grandparents' house. But we lost touch with them over the years.
Hilda died 7 Jan 1991. Public records show Dean remarried to Helen Carey in 1996. They were both 75.
