Notes:

By 1880, Charles and Matilda were living next door to Anna McCall, who was by then a widow and her youngest child was Claudie McCall. That caught my eye because my grandmother, Lillian Courts Jones' mother was Claudie Gentz. On further scrutiny, I see that Claudie McCall was born 1872, and I also saw that her father died that same year - that's sad. In the meantime, in 1872 when she was born and had lost her father, my Matilda and Charles' youngest child at that time was Lena, 2 yrs old. They had another girl in '74, and then in '76 is when my Claudie Gentz, my g-grandma, was born. I'm thoroughly convinced that my Claudie Gentz was named after little Claudie McCall, now 4 yrs old!! I was really excited to find where my grandmother's name came from. Some records have her as "Claude" which I knew she went by Claudie. But anyway -- that's where her name came from!
I also found Anna McCall in 1900. By then she declared 7 births and 5 living. All 5 are still home. Missing is little Claudie McCall. Since we have no 1890 census, we don't know when she died - unless there's some other record I'm not aware . But now I wonder if perhaps the child died around the time that my Claudie was born to further enhance the honor of having a baby named for her.


Claudie died suddenly from a brain hemorrhage in 1916- leaving 8 children. My grandmother, Lillian Courts, was only 12, but she talked often to me about how pretty her mama was, dark curly hair and tall. My g-mother was 4'10! so "tall" is relative) and Helmer Courts, Claudie's widower, never remarried to raise all those kids.

Mrs. S. H. Courts, Dead

Mrs. S. H. Courts, 39 years old, died about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon at her home, 2060 Cable Street. She had been sick for several weeks.
Funeral services were conducted at the residence at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon by Rev. Frank Clark. Internment followed at Smith cemetery, near McFadden station, south of the city. Broussard, Little & Co. had charge of the burial. The pallbers were Jeff Pyron, Will Barrow, John Webb, Victor Holtz, Harry Richardson and F. L. Wallace.
Mrs. Courts is survived by her husband, two sons, Hal and Clyde Courts, and five daughters, Mrs. Wallace Choates and Misses Gladys, Beatrice, Lillian and Daisy Courts.

Notes:
This obituary, typical for Beaumont newspapers, is frought with errors. I have taken one liberty with the article; it is not a direct quote. The obituary is actually written for "Mrs. F. H. Courks"; I have corrected the name. Also note the article mentions Mrs. Wallace Choates (Beatrice) and then lists her again separately as single.

Research Notes:
Charles Magill Smith ONiell Sr. has been erroneously shown as having a 2nd wife, Alma Beatrice Courts. Her second husband was known to be C. S. O'Neal in the Port Arthur directory, and family only knew him as Oneal, not focusing so much on the spelling. Both men were from Louisiana, about the same age, both worked for Texas Company, lived in the Groves, and both buried in Greenlawn Cemetery in the Groves.
Day before yesterday somebody contacted me thru my site about the O'Niells in general - and then, lo and behold, yesterday somebody contacted me about the Choates - again in general but --- wow! Such a crazy coincidence to get two back to back contacts that brought into focus my great Aunt Bea! I knew her b.d. was August, but not the date. So, it piqued my interest -- what if this was some karma contacting me on her b.d. So, I set out to try to find it.
So, in the process looked up addresses in Port Arthur for her and Charles Magill while he was still married to Lillie -- and her addresses. Things didn't really add up because Lillie died after he but still living at the same address. Also, Charles WWII draft said he was 5'6" and 115 pounds. My mother met Bea's husband O'Neal only once, but she remembered him being somewhat stout, and family knew him to be widowed with children. Since Lillie lived after Charles, then that would indicate they were divorced, but not if she was living in the same house.
Continuing to search for addresses, I found Beatrice O'Neal living on Taft. When I asked my mom, she remembered that street being the street she used to address Xmas cards. It showed her married to C. S. O'Neal. Doing a new search for C.M. O'Neal, I came across his death certificate, showing his residence at the time of death at the same address on Taft, his given name being Cayrden Simmons O'Neal - so there's C.S. We had the wrong husband!
My mother remembered that Grammiere Oberle in Port Arthur handled her funeral, so I called them and they graciously supplied me with the info they had on her.
Alma B. O'Neal
born 8/20/1896
died 3/18/1990 Tyler Co, Hosp, Woodville, Texas
father Helmer Courts
mother Claudia Gentz
2 sisters: Mrs. Joe Douglas and Mrs. Earl Mudd
1 bro Hal O. Courts

Since she is buried as Beatrice Choate, it had appeared that she must have reverted back to her 1st husband's name after O'Neal died; and then her name given as Alma B when she always went as Bea or Beatrice - somehow we had just not found her death record.
But it's all straight now, and I am quite sure this was her contacting me to say, hey, you've had it wrong long enough. Let's get it fixed! :))
I am leaving the workup of Charles Magill Smith O'Niell in my file, though he or none of his line are not related to anyone in my family that I know of. But I imagine the error has been duplicated through others and hopefully this will dispel the mistake. Besides, somebody has already contacted me about this line and found it helpful, so maybe it will help some other O'Niell researchers.

Thanks, Aunt Bea!!

Debbie Spurgeon - Jan 25, 2002
Hal Courts, Jr., known as Sonny to his immediate family and close relatives, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. On Wednesday doctors at M.D. Anderson in Houston removed the tumor, which was about as big as a golf ball. There are fingers that go deeper which they were unable to remove. Today Uncle Sonny fed himself some grits, and was able to walk a short distance. He hasn't spoken yet, but once the swelling is down we are hopeful he will be able to. We are awaiting word on the type of treatment he will need, and of when he can come home. All prayers on his behalf are greatly appreciated. Will update as more information comes available.
God Bless You All.

Uncle Sonny is hospitalized in Beaumont at Hermann Memorial Baptist. He was admitted Wednesday evening with what was believed to be pneumonia. However, doctors discovered that a blood clot had moved through his heart and lungs causing anolism. Doctors called the family in, believing he wouldn't make it through the night. Miraculously, he did survive. However, he has continued to have setbacks including partial paralysis of his stomach and problems associated with that. He was doing better last night, but the situation is extremely serious. Please pray for Uncle Sonny in his fight with brain cancer and other complications. Aunt Hazel and the girls, Jennifer, Julie, Jill and Jackie and their families need your prayers as well. I will update as new information comes available.

Again, please pray for the family. Your prayers are appreciated.

My uncle, Hal Ogden Courts, Jr., better known as Sonny to all his relatives, passed away the morning of July 3rd, surrounded by his wife, daughters, grandchildren, sons-in-law, brother and sisters, and some of his neices. The family sang "ly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling," as he took his last breath. He was finally at peace.

Uncle Sonny battled a brain tumor and fast moving cancer from December 20th until July 3rd, never waning in his faith and knowing that at the end of his journey he was going Home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Uncle Sonny was a handsome man, and always reminded me a bit of Andy Griffith. He had a personality that made him many friends over the years and was adored by his family.

He served his country in the Korean War, was a Mason, and longtime member of First United Methodist Church of Vidor. He and Aunt Hazel raised four daughters, Jennifer, Julie, Jill and Jackie. They blessed him with seven grandchildren, Alexis and Ashley, daughters of Julie and husband Raymond Saunders; Katie B. , daughter of Jennifer Bourgeois; Dominique and Brittney, daughters of Jacki and Dwayne Farmer; and Branch and Dusty Harper, sons of Jill and Paul Harper.

He loved nothing in life more than being with his children, and as a testament to that, they all stayed within a mile or two of his and Aunt Hazel's residence. He took care of his parents in their old age, quitting his job to make sure they were properly looked after. He would come to the aid of anyone who needed his help and always put others first.

I'll always remember Uncle Sonny's quick smile and laugh, and the way he and my Dad (Dickie) would come up with pranks to play on others. They were never mean, just funny.

Aside from his family, he loved going to the auction sales in Southeast Texas with my Dad and his son-in-law Dwayne Farmer. They would meet up with other men and sit in the heat and dust just for the fun of it (although on occasion a horse or cow was purchased). It was their "social scene" and those who knew him from there will miss him as well.

His Granddaugher Alexis wrote a poem about "Pawpaw Killjoy," a nickname she gave him when she was but a little girl. She read the poem at his service as a last act of love to her Grandpa. The daughters all offered their own words of beauty about the man who was their father, and our Uncle Sonny. He loved hymns, and the entire congregation sang his favorites. His nephew-in-law, David Burnham, sang "Go Rest High on That Mountain." It was a fitting service for a man like Uncle Sonny.

He will be missed by all, but his memory will be with us through the years. We were all blessed to have known this special man.

Birth:
I was born on a Saturday night at 8:15. My mom said I had been due on Sep 25, so I was a little late. She was at her mom's house on Congress when she went into labor early that day. When they decided it was time, they called an ambulance as they had no car at that time. My dad and my grandmother went with her to Beaumont Infirmary. I remember her telling me how when the attendants were carrying her up the stairs on the gurney, she was apprehensive that they might drop her. She was given sedation for the delivery, so doesn't remember some of it; but it apparently had begun quite a rainstorm and by Sunday morning the streets were flooded. She remembers a nurse relating to my mother that she had had to get her horses out of the flooded fields where they were being kept. My grandfather came up, too -- I'm guessing when he got off work (?) and then my other grandmother, my dad's mom, came on Sunday. They kept women in the hospital quite a few days then, and she thinks she stayed maybe 10 days. The doctor who delivered me was Dr. Charles Todd, Jr.
She also remembered that they told her at the hospital that they used me to get the measurements they needed for making a board to use for the male babies to be circumcised. (sorry, boys)
