A merchant at Elyria, O., until 1859, when he removed to California where he d. Oct 27, 1869. He was a sheep-grower. His widow resides now (1871) in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
The Texas Birth Index shows her as a daughter of Cecil MESSEC Jr. and Peggy PRUITT.
Virginia Nell "Ginny" Messec, longtime editor and travel writer at the San Antonio Express-News, was a mentor and advocate for workplace policy reform when the city had two daily newspapers.
Messec, 64, died Nov. 27 after undergoing 20 months of treatment for leukemia.
Her husband, retired reporter David McLemore, said Messec's impact on local journalism encompassed helping newcomers to the staff, ensuring a quality product and advocating best practices in the workplace.
"She would rise above her innate shyness to help people," McLemore said. "She believed in people doing the right thing for others, and she was not afraid to stand up for it."
Born on May 26, 1955, at Downtown Baptist Hospital in San Antonio, Messec grew up on a family farm with five siblings and graduated from Devine High School in 1973. A few months later, she was hired at the Express-News as a typist.
Messec became a library researcher the following year. A self-taught journalist, she became an editor in the Sunday Department and Insight section, starting with a weekend shift, then moving to projects and editing columnists.
Maury Maverick, a Sunday columnist who became like a surrogate family member, would often call Messec about his ideas, and had her and McLemore over as guests at his riverside property in Castroville.
He gave her a copy of his book "Texas Iconoclast," in 1997, and wrote inside the cover, "For my old friend and editor, Ginny Messec, who had a hand in the making of this book." In an Express-News column that year, Maverick wrote that she had gotten him a pay raise, "like a good sergeant looking after the troops." Maverick died in 2003.
McLemore, then a San Antonio Express reporter who later would work for the Dallas Morning News, met Messec while covering the 1976 party primaries. He realized as they had a conversation on election night in a break area that she was "the one," he said.
Messec also was a travel writer, visiting and writing about Japan, Hawaii, West Africa's Ivory Coast and other far-flung places, as well as beaches and dude ranches in Texas. She ran a youth columnist contest, working with schools, students and parents, and repeatedly won in-house awards for her page designs. She also was project coordinator for an office wastepaper recycling program in the early 1990s.
While working in the library, Messec took a grievance about a columnist's unwanted advances to Publisher Charles O. Kilpatrick, who got the behavior to stop, McLemore said. She later was quoted in the Inside Scoop, the paper's in-house newsletter, saying she wished the Express-News had a more uniform, flexible policy for parents with sick children at home.
Messec, suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, retired in 1992 and provided home schooling for the couple's two sons. She continued to travel, McLemore said. She loved driving and having long conversations with the radio turned off.
Messec started hospice care on Nov. 14, wanting to be at home with her husband and two dogs, and slipped into a suspended state, unable to talk early on Nov. 27. She died several hours later on the eve before Thanksgiving.
"The one thing I had to be thankful for was that I had her in my life," McLemore said.
Survivors include her mother, Peggy Messec of Rye, Colo.; sons, Gabriel McLemore of Houston and Sam McLemore of Portland, Ore.; and a brother and four sisters.

Georgia Marie Michl Schropfer was born to Frank and Anna (Brejcha) Michl on January 27, 1927 in her family's home on a farm near Tobias, Nebraska. She died November 8, 2020 at the Fairview Manor in Fairmont, Nebraska at the age of 93 years, 9 months, and 12 days.
Georgia attended Possum Hill country school, and graduated from Milligan High School in 1944. She taught country school, a one room school where she taught 1st-8th grade for four years. Georgia married Jess Schropfer on August 8, 1948 in the United Methodist Church in Milligan. The couple had four children. They lived and worked together on their farm near Ohiowa, Nebraska for nearly 68 years. Georgia milked cows and raised chickens. She was very proud that she paid all her household expenses with the money she earned selling cream and eggs. Georgia kept a large vegetable garden and fruit trees, as well as a flower garden. She fed her family very well with her canning, freezing, cooking and baking. Georgia was always ready with a hearty meal no matter how late the notice, or how many extra people would be there. Georgia always made herself available to help her husband and her sons on the farm, driving equipment, giving rides, driving for parts, and taking them lunch in the field.
She was an active member of St. John's Lutheran church in Ohiowa. She served as an officer in the Ladies Aide, including several years as President. She helped make quilts for Lutheran World relief. Georgia also served as a 4-H leader where she taught sewing and cooking skills.
Georgia loved to garden, read, sew and cook. She taught herself to sew by taking apart an old dress and using it as a pattern. Her skills grew and she was able to sew her daughter's wedding gown. She also raised all the gladiolas for her daughter's wedding. She made quilts, and sewed dolls and stuffed animals for her grandkids and great grandkids.
Georgia was happy to support her kids and grandkids by attending sporting events and concerts. She was proud to travel to Nashville, Tennessee to watch her daughter compete in the Junior Olympics. Georgia and Jess enjoyed traveling, and took their kids on trips to Yellowstone and Pikes Peak and to visit family. Later, they traveled with family and friends to destinations including Washington D.C., Disney World, California, Seattle and Canada, as well as numerous trips to visit family and friends.
Georgia's greatest joy was her family. She loved spending time with her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and her great great granddaughter. Georgia loved caring for her grandkids, and was always up for a project, be it painting, sewing, flower arranging, or filling the living room with a "covered wagon" made of cushions and pillows. She welcomed her grandkids' "help" in the garden, caring for chickens, and cooking. When she baked a pie, the grandkids baked their own small pie to go with it.
After Jess passed away, she moved to Country Reflections Assisted Living in Fairmont. She enjoyed her time there and had many close friends, residents and staff, that she considered to be like family.
Georgia was preceded in death by her husband Jess, her parents, Frank and Anna Michl, her siblings Albert and Alice Michl, Herman and Erma Michl, Carl and Elsie Michl Leo Michl and Silvia and Joe Girmus.
She is survived by her sister, Blanche Knudson; her son Duane Schropfer;, her son and daughter-in-law Ron and Georgia Schropfer;, daughter and son-in-law Bill and Carol Woodward, son and daughter-in-law Roger and Carrie Schropfer; grandchildren Bill and Amanda Schropfer, Ann and Kerry Holmstrom, Jon and Dawn Schropfer, Ben and Trina Schropfer, Cari and Andres Casas, Eric and Holli Woodward, Amanda Woodward and husband Ben Owen, Justin and Laura Britton, Brandon and Amber Hartsock; great-grandchildren Dietra and B.J. Miller, Nate Schropfer, Wyatt and Garrett Hansen, Becka and Linnea Holmstrom, Gus Schropfer, Amber, Sarah, Rachel and Lucy Schropfer, Madison Casas, Jackson and Lexi Woodward, Lucas Owen, Alaysia, Kaidan and Charlie Britton, Lilly Krusemark, Penelope Hartsock, and Emory Hartsock, great- great-granddaughter, Ripley Miller; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Obituary
Rex D. 'Duke' Miller
York News-Times
Rex D. "Duke" Miller age 84 of York died Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at York. He was born December 25, 1923 in York to Lincoln Lee and Jessye (Hastings) Miller and grew up in York graduating from York High School in 1941. Rex was a US Marine Corps Sergeant serving in World War II with six others from the Nebraska area. They were collectively known as the "Lucky 7." After serving in the US Corps of Engineers Rex became a Postal Carrier in York where he retired after 33 years of service. He was a member of the York Elk's Club, the Eagle's Club and the York American Legion Club as well.
Rex and Effie L. Madison were united in marriage in Fairbury in May of 1953. They made their home in York where they attended the First United Methodist Church. Rex enjoyed all Nebraska sports including Nebraska football, hunting and fishing. He was very proud of his grandchildren and great grandchildren's achievements. Left to cherish his memory are three daughters; Mary and her husband Bob Fessler of Sutton, Julie Miller of Carson City, NV, Vicki and her husband Dale Stilwell of York. A Stepdaughter Barbara Mason also of York. His grandchildren include; Tim Mason of Lincoln, Todd and his wife Betty Mason also of Lincoln, Jessica and her husband Josh Erickson of Phillips, Darin Fessler of Lincoln, Tracy Fessler of Sutton, and Jacob Stilwell of York.

Preceding him in death were his parents, an infant sister, his wife Effie and her son Richard Beck.

On-line condolences can be sent to the family at www.metzmortuary.com . Metz Mortuary of York is handling arrangements.
In "Newton County Nuggets" (Nortex Press, 1986), Dr. Arthur Miller wrote a 3 page history of the Miller family (p. 195-198).
He stated that in 1849, Rev. Robert Marcus Miller and George Miller brought their families to Texas. Rev. Miller, a Baptist Preacher, his wife, Averilla Elizabeth Hare and their son, James Cason, settled in the Spears Chapel settlement, five miles east of Burkeville. They had six more children before Averilla died. Four Hare families, orginally from South Carolina, also camed to Texas. Thomas Cason Hare and his wife Lucretia were probably the parents of Averilla Hare Miller. They are all bured at Tanner Cemetery, about a mile east of Burkeville.
George Miller had married Mary Owens of Florida, and they settled in the Quicksand community about ten miles southeast of Newton. They had three sons: Hamp, Ike and Burl---all of whom had quick tempers and loved a good fight. By contrast, Rev. Marcus's children were docile and easy going.
A neighbor of the Robert Marcus Miller family was Robert Cousins, born in Virginia. He was married to Sarah Jane Jordan, born in Alabama. They had six children before Robert Cousins died.
Another neighbor was Tom Byerly, he had lost his wife Matilda, so Tom and the widowed Sarah Jane Jordan Cousins were married, haviing one son, Caleb (sic) before Tom Byerly died.
Sarah Jane Jordan Cousins Byerly then married the widowed Rev. Robert Marcus Miller, and they proceeded to have six more children to add to their already large family.
Dr. Arthur A. Miller, Jr, writes that his grandfather, Robert Martin Miller "married Rebecca Stevenson in 1878...They are buried in Newton, along with their son, Arthur A. Miller (Sr.)." ("Newton County Nuggets" (Nortex Press, 1986, p. 197).

Dr. Arthur A. Miller, in "Newton County Nuggets" wrote that Grandmother Sarah's youngest daughter died at the age of seven. Presumably he was referring to Sarah Susan Miller, the only daughter born to her third marriage to Rev. Robert Marcus Miller.
