| 17906 | I9048 | Morgan | Ruby Lee | 20 Apr 1916 | 22 Nov 2001 | 0 | (Research):Mary Susan Walden Moore emailed, on August 7, 2008, that when her mother, Ruby Lee Morgan "graduated from Kirbyville High School, she was a brain, but there was no money for college in those dark days of 1934. So her Mother (Minnie) suggested that she write to her Uncle Roy, the President of Paris Junior College, and ask for assistance. He wrote back and said that she could attend PJC, but she would have to work on campus. She could live with him and his family if she would help her aunt do housework, and help with the children. Those jobs would pay her tuition, and her room and board. He also made it clear in the letter that even though he was her uncle, he would not help her with her homework...she would have to do it on her own. Also, she would have to come up with transportation to get to Paris. She found out that a one way ticket to Paris was 100 dollars. She went around to all of the businessmen in Kirbyville and stated her case, and asked for a loan. When she had nearly given up hope, she courageously went to one of the more prominent professional men in town and stated her case with great passion, I am sure, because my Mom wanted to go to school so badly. He said, "Girly, I have loaned money to other girls in this town, and they have never paid me back, because they always get married and forget that they owe me money." She promised that she would not be like those other girls...and he loaned her the money. She said that train ride was so sad for her, because she had never been away from home before, and only had a oneway ticket. Uncle Roy was true to his word, and he never helped her, even though he was also her French teacher. She made Phi Theta Kappa while she was at PJC. Her brother Julian, who was later killed in WWII, dug stumps for a dollar a day, and sent her some of his wages. After she graduated in 1936, she moved to Houston, because there was no more money for further studies. She lived with her Aunt Emily McLemore Wilkinson, and she met my Dad, Lewis Walden, at church. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, "but first I have to pay back the man in Kirbyville who loaned me 100 dollars to go to college." And she did. She raised 3 kids, and went back to college in her forties, and earned her B.Ed. in Education when she was 49. Mom passed away in 2001." |

| 17907 | I8498 | Morgan | Rueben | Aft 1770 | Aft 1840 | 0 | The letter transcribed below was written by Abner E. Morgan in October, 1946. It was supplied to me in an email from Jeanie Trimble of Thonostosassa, Florida. She in turn received it from Janie Blanton. Jeanie noted that although Abner referred to his great-grandfather as being named "Isaac Morgan", all other sources she found seemed to point to his name as actually being Reuben. This contradiction has not been explained. Perhaps both names were his given names, or perhaps Abner was confusing Rueben Morgan's first name with that of Rueben's father-in-law, Isaac Newton, also of Duplin County. "This information reference to my great grandfather Isaac Morgan came to me from my father Frances Cornelius "Neal" Morgan as handed down from father to son from around the year 1800 to date. Isaac Morgan. Born in Ireland, date unknown, emigrated to the United States in or about the year 1800. Settled on a farm in North Carolina. Moved to South Carolina by wagon about 1828, where he farmed for two years. He moved again to South Georgia in 1830, and settled in Brooks County and I am reliably informed that the old home site is now inside of corporate limits of Quitman, GA. His family consisted of three daughters and seven sons ranging in ages from small to grown up. One of Isaac's sons John, a married son, died while they lived in South Carolina, leaving a son named Malachi or Mae. Another son, Daniel by name took over and recorded Mae-thus-great granddad reached Georgia with three daughters and six sons and a grandson. Daughters: Dorcus, Sally, Nancy --Dorcus: Married Edmond Blanton son of David Blanton & Nancy Goff. (B.C. Blanton, a direct descendant. My father and B.C. Blantons father being first cousins). --Nancy: Married a Wilson of whom the late John T. Wilson of Shady Grove was a direct descendant. My father and the Wilsons (Enoch Wilson) were also cousins. --Sallie: I do not know much about her and have never contacted any of her offsprings, however I do know she married Enoch Bell and that around 1890 they lived in Kissimee, Florida. Sons: Joe, John, Daniel, Duncan, Reuben, Isaac and Enoch Morgan. --Enoch Morgan was my grandfather who married Martha Ann Williams in Georgia, his wife being the sister of a Baptist preacher, of Georgia, but later of Lee, Madison County, Fla. The said preacher being the grandfather of the late W. O. Williams of Perry, Fla. To this marriage were born 4 sons and 5 daughters, my father being born in Georgia in 1842. In 1846, my granddad Enoch Morgan and J. Pasco's grandad, Isaac, moved to Florida. Isaac settling on part of the place now owned by E.J. Rowell at Iddo and Enoch Morgan settled on the Old Greenville Road (later called the Old Salt Road) some three miles north of old Shady Grove in Taylor County. At this location my fathers three brothers grew up. War. At the opening of the war, father's two brothers Joe and John entered the Southern Army and were immediately sent to Virginia, never to return. Joe died in battle and John of disease. Later my father, and (his) younger brother Math, volunteered for service in the U.S. Army (Union). My father was shot and carried a Confederate bullet in his breast to his death in 1905. On returning from service, my father bought a homestead claim to a 160 acre tract of government land from one Wright Hendry. This land being just North of Shady Grove but in Taylor County. On this tract he built a log house. Then he married my mother, Lucy Alice Lugenia McFail. To this marriage was 4 sons and 2 daughters born. Ollen, Asberry, Abner (that's me), Ella, Joe and Margarett. Margarett being only nine days old at my mothers death in 09/19/1882. Ollen and Ella died I think in 1892, and Asberry died last year in 1945, leaving myself and Margarett. Back to Georgia. I have already told what became of my Granddad Enoch sisters and will tell you about the sons. --John died in South Carolina. --Enoch and Isaac came to Florida as stated above. --THE OTHERS INCLUDING MAE, MOVED TO MAGNOLIA SPRINGS, JASPER COUNTY, TEXAS EITHER IN 1849 OR 1852. MY FATHER KEPT IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH THEM UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1905. IN 1913 THROUGH THE POSTMASTER I GOT IN TOUCH WITH MAE IN ERIN, TEXAS AND HAD A LETTER FROM HIM, AND GOT ANOTHER LETTER IN 1914. HE WAS 86 THEN AND NEVER ANSWERED AGAIN. (Emphasis added). Back to Neal my Father. As stated above there were 4 sons and 2 daughters. Ollen born in 1872 and died in 1893 and buried at Mt. Enow Church near Plant City, Florida. Asberry born 03/18/1875 died 1945 in Pahokee, buried Homestead. Abner, (I was) born 70 years ago to day 10/17/1946 and (am) happy to know that time is near for my final journey. Ella b. 1875 d. 1893. Joe b. 1880 Margarett b. 1882. May, this is the entire letter. Hope you can use this. Thanks again, and yes I'll get with you later on our history of John Bunion Blanton and his Civil War File. I'd love to read this." Carolyn Lockhart recounts a similar story: "There were five brothers to come into Jasper County. Duncan first, Daniel, Malachi (Note: Actually a nephew), James and William (Note: Also probably nephews). John Morgan died in Georgia." Carolyn further indicated that Ruben Morgan could be found on the 1779 Iredell County, North Carolina census with 2 females under 10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 26-45 and himself. In 1790, he was in Franklin County, North Carolina where he can be found with 4 females and 1 male 0-16. In 1800, he was in Sampson County, North Carolina, listed with 3 males under 10, 1 male 26-45, 1 female under 10, and 1 female 16-26. (Note: Not verified that the 1779 and 1790 census listings are for the same Ruben Morgan). The information on the Morgan Family was compiled from information that was generously shared with by Jeannie Trimble of Florida, Kenneth Morgan and Nan Kittell of Jasper, Carolyn Lockhart of Nederland, Jo Ann Gartig of Nacogdoches and others. Several researchers show Rueben Morgan as the son of a Theophilus Morgan, however Jeanie Trimble thinks this unlikely. Bonnie Smith shows him as the son of William Morgan and Rebeckah Mills of Bladen and Guilford, North Carolina. I have not seen any documentation of this either. |

Rueben Morgan, Jr, who is listed as between the ages of 20-30, was found on the 1830 Decatur County, Georgia census. He was listed as single, with no children in his home. This 1830 listing had Ruebin Morgan Sr, Rueben Morgan Jr, Duncan Bell, Duncan Morgan, and Malakier Kelly listed consecutively. Rueben was not listed in the 1840 census index. A 30 year old Reuben Morgan, born in North Carolina, was living in the home of James and Sarah Hodges, and working as a laborer at the time of the 1850 Lowndes County, Georgia Census. This might be the same person as Rueben Morgan, Jr, with his age incorrectly estimated. Not located on the 1860 or subsequent census indexes. |

| 17910 | I8610 | Morgan | Rueben | Abt 1832 | Bef 1870 | 0 | Rueben Morgan may have moved back to Florida after his 1857 marriage in Jasper, Texas. In an email dated April 2, 2006, Floyd Boyett passed along the following information: "I did find a Reuben Morgan, Co. G, 3rd. Florida Infantry (Pensacola area) as a Private on the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System site. This should be Daniel's Reuben and the man we were looking for." Based on the census listing below, it appears that Rueben Morgan died sometime between 1865 and 1870, perhaps as a result of the Civil War? It further appears that Susan remarried. Her second spouse appears to have died as well: 1870 U.S. Federal Census, Texas, Jasper, Subdivision 23 409-410 Wilson, Susan 43 F W Keeping House 100 100 Louisiana Morgan, Eliza G 12 F W Texas Morgan, Jessie 10 M W Texas Morgan, Alice 9 F W Texas Morgan, Josephine 5 F W Texas At the time of the 1880 census, 14 year old Josephine is living in the home of John McLemore, her uncle by marriage, and listed as Josephine Wilson. Only Jesse and Allie are listed in the Estate settlement of Daniel Morgan as "surviving grandchildren." It therefore appears that Eliza and Josephine may have died prior to the settlement of Daniel's estate in 1886. |

| 17911 | I8526 | Morgan | Rueben L. | Abt 1834 | 20 May 1864 | 0 | In a column titled "Grandma Olds saw first train to Buna and man on the moon" Jasper New Boy columnist Kenneth Morgan wrote: "....Much more is known about the Morgan family, who came to Texas from North Carolina and Georgia before the Civil War. Great grandfather Reuben L. Morgan fought from the Confederacy and lost his life in this tragic war. His father's name was John Morgan. John's father was Reuben Sr....... When Reuben first migrated to Texas, he was accompanied by his brother Malalchi, and his uncles Daniel and Duncan Morgan." Mr. Morgan generously provided futher details about his paternal grandparents in a letter dated June 8, 1999 to Melinda Strong. He said the "Reuben L. Morgan was born in Decatur, GA in 1835. When his father, John Morgan died, around 1850, Reuben, his brother Malachi with his wife Tomsie Williams, their Uncle Duncan with his wife Eliza Kelley, and their mother, Hannah Kelley, left Georgia and settled the community of Erin, Texas. One of their descendants, Alfred Morgan, reports that they brought two or three slaves, one of them an infant boy named George, who took on the the Morgan name. It is possible that a family of Caswells accompanied them, also bringing with them Reuben's future wife, Penelope Caswell, who also was born in Georgia, in 1832. Another possible member of the original group, and probably a sister to Penelope, Rebecca Caswell Hays is indicated by the 1860 census as having lived with Rueben and Penelope. Rebecca was listed as age 24, born in Georgia. Rueben and Penelope were married in Jasper County in December 1858, their first child was John Edward, or Eddie born in 1859, then Thomas Marion who was born in 1860. The Civil War broke out about this time, and Reuben and Malachi both enlisted and served. According to Kenneth Morgan, the were in the 13th Texas Cavalry, General Walker's division. They fought in the Battles of Mansfield, Jenkin's Ferry, and Pleasant Hill. During the war their mother got sick and Duncan sent for them to come home. It was decided that Malachi would stay and care for his mother and both families, and that Rueben would go back to war. It was during this leave that Penelope became pregnant with Rose Caroline or "Sissie", who was born June 26, 1862. Rueben did not live to see his youngest child. He fell ill with dysentary and it is believed that he died on May 20, 1864, in a military hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. |

| 17913 | I8507 | Morgan | Sallie | Abt 1817 | Yes, date unknown | 0 | Abner Morgan wrote, "I do not know much about her (Sallie) and have never contacted any of her offsprings, however I do know she married Enoch Bell and that around 1890 they lived in Kissimee, Florida." There were several intermarriages between the BELL and MORGAN family. Sallie's brother, Duncan, was married to Elizabeth Bell, and her father, Rueben, married the widow of Joseph Williams, Perthenia Bell. However, a family headed by Enoch and/or Sallie Bell has not been located in any census index from 1850 through 1880. Nor is it known where Sallie fit in the birth order of the children in her parent's family. If she were among their firstborn children, the year of her birth could have fallen around 1794. If she were their youngest child, she may have been born as late as 1817 or 1818. Darrel Bell, the Florida GenWeb Project Coordinator, lists a Sarah UNKNOWN as the widow of John Bell, and a daughter-in-law of Hezekiah and Martha (Baggett) Bell. Perhaps Abner Morgan recalled Sallie's last name of Bell correctly, but was mistaken about the first name of her husband. It appears that she actually married John BELL. The John BELL family is listed on the 1840 Federal Census for Madison County, Florida. It appears John died prior to the 1850 Lowndes County, Georgia, census. Lowndes County, Georgia borders Madison County, Florida. His widow lived just two household's away from Nancy (Morgan) WILSON, a sister to Sallie. 361-361 Sarah BELL 33 F NC Mary J BELL 16 F Ga John BELL 14 M Ga <---Named for his father.

This appears to the be same family at the time of the 1860 census, despite a slight difference in the expected ages 1860 Census Madison County, Florida 616-616 Sally EDWARDS 45 F No Carolina (born ca 1815) Elizabeth BELL 20 F Domestic Labor Ga Jackson BELL 22 M Day Labor Ga <--Newton?

If this were the case, then perhaps it may have been Duncan Bell that she married, as she would have been close in age and proximity to Duncan who was born in 1795. The widowed Duncan Bell was living in Madison County, Florida in 1850. He was the father of Abraham, Martha, Patrick, Duncan, Lydia and Enoch BELL. He was born in North Carolina, with his children being born in Georgia. His oldest son, George, was living next door with the family of Glisson WILLIAMS. Glisson is the son of Perthenia Bell Williams Morgan, by her first husband. |

| 17917 | I1989 | Morgan | Sarah | Abt 1826 | Bef 1859 | 0 | No record of John and Sarah's marriage has yet been located. However, it can be proved by a Deed to John McLemore by the Heirs of Daniel Morgan, dated the Seventh day of January, A.D. 1889, Jasper County, Texas. It was filed for record Jan'y 8th 1889 at 10 o'clock am and recorded January 16th 1889 at 5 pm by AJ Rigsby, Clk. (Vol P, Page 367). This deed indicates that the "heirs at law of DANIEL MORGAN and MARY MORGAN deceased . . . . (include) the grandchildren of the said decedents, viz: J.F. McLEMORE and Mary Ann (McLemore) HORN and her husband Elma HORN... " John Finn and Mary Ann were apparently the only two of John and Sarah's six children still surviving in 1889. Sarah apparently died sometime before John's remarriage in 1859, Nan Kittell indicated that she might have died in Alexandria, Louisiana, on the way to Newton County. As her youngest daughter, Mary Ann, was said to be born in Newton County, it would appear Sarah probably died shortly after the family arrived in Texas. In a letter provided to me by Kenneth Morgan, written by Carolyn Lockhart, she indicated that Sarah's parents, Daniel and Mary Morgan, were "100% Cherokee Indian." She said that Sarah's sister, Elizabeth, instructed her children not to mention their heritage. Elizabeth, however, always wore fringe on her dresses to secretly remind herself of her Cherokee forebearers. Her paternal line were said to have emigrated to the United States from Ireland or Wales, so the Native heritage was presumed to be maternal. Jo Ann Lee Gartig suggests she might actually have been associated with the Creek tribe, not Cherokee. However, mtDNA testing shows her direct maternal line was HV, a very common European marker, and not one associated with native heritage. It is possible she did indeed have some Native American ancestry, but if she did, it was not through either her direct paternal or direct maternal lines, and she was certainly not "100%." |

The 1910 census indicates that she herself was the mother of 1 child, but the space indicating whether or not this child was still living was left blank. As no child under the age of 11 was listed on the census, it appears likely to have died young. At the 1920 census, they were still in Jasper, but now in JP 3, ED 75. Only William's oldest daughter was still at home, but she was listed as Maggie, age 42, instead of as Sarah. Mandy was widowed prior to the 1930 census. At that time, she is living in Jasper, along with her older sister, Mary Morgan, who appears to have been a lifelong spinster. |

| 17930 | I8666 | Morgan | Thomas Marion | 16 Mar 1860 | 17 Feb 1946 | 0 | Kenneth Morgan recounts that his grandfather, "Tom Morgan was a big practical joker, and would go to great lengths to pull off a stunt. Once he and his brother, Eddie, were digging a well. In those days, wells were hand dug, and measured about four by four foot. Eddie was down in the well digging, while Tom reeled up buckets of dirt from the top. The well was deep enough now that a man couldn't climb out of it, and would have to have the other person haul him up with the rope. Tom called down to Eddie, telling him to rest a minute, that he was going to get them some water. Eddie asked to be hauled up, but Tom said, no, he'd just be a minute. Eddie protested, telling Tom that Dollie, their blind mule, might wander over and fall in on top of him. Tom said no, I see her way across the field, and I'll be back before she could make it this far. Tom promptly set out, but instead of going towards the house, he ran over to where Dolly was, pulling the bell off that always hung round her neck. Then slowly, he began circling the well. Tom meandered slowly, extending the pleasure of this trick, gradually circling in, ringing the bell. Eddie's voice grew more anxious and strained as he talked to the mule, trying to coax her away from the well. When Tom got right up to the edge of the well, he kicked some dirt down. Eddie responded with "Whoa, you son of a bitch!" At this point, Tom could no longer contain his laughter and rolled on the ground in pleasure at his feat. Eddie, quickly realizing that his brother had pulled another stunt, told Tom that as soon as he got out of the well, he was going to kill him. Needless to say, Tom left Eddie in the well for quite a while to simmer down before he finally lowered the rope to haul him out." Kenneth further reported that his grandfather farmed most of his life until he became so crippled he could not walk at age sixty-nine. He remained cheerful until his death at eighty-five, and was dragged around the house and porch in a straight-chair by his grandmother, Jane Valentine Garsee Morgan. For many years he had a team of small mules named "Kit" and "Queen." name: Thomas Marion Morgan death date: 17 Feb 1946 death place: Jasper, Jasper, Texas gender: Male race: White death age: 85 years 11 months 2 days estimated birth date: birth date: 16 Mar 1860 birthplace: Jasper, Jasper, Texas marital status: Married spouse's name: father's name: Rubin Morgan father's birthplace: Georgia mother's name: Penny Causel mother's birthplace: Georgia occupation: Farmer place of residence: Jasper, Jasper, Texas cemetery: Zion Hill burial place: Texas burial date: 18 Feb 1946 additional relatives: X film number: 2218231 digital film number: 4030568 image number: 2341 reference number: cn 8661 |

| 17931 | I9317 | Morgan | Thomas Moses "Mose" | 23 Dec 1898 | 6 Dec 1976 | 0 | Mose Morgan was a Carpenter for Kirby Lumber Company. He first worked in the shop at Kirby's big mill in Call, then at their front near Jackson Hole in Buna, and next at the logging front on the east side of the Neches River in Jasper County, south of Sheffield's Ferry. To supplement his income, he had a small truck and took on moving jobs on nights and weekends. He lost his job with the Kirby Lumber company after the stock market crash in 1929. He survived on odd jobs, hewing cross-ties with a broad axe to pay the doctor's fees for his son's birth. He managed to make twenty dollars to pay for a shack on Hurricane Beach, clearing enough land for a pea patch and a few chickens. He and a brother-in-law, Wallace Olds, moved to Wharton for a while to pick cotton for a dollar a day, sending the money home to their families. After moving back to Jasper, he drove a school bus.

"The home and business were shared by Bertrand Morlas Sr (born in France) and his nephew, John Dominic Morlas (born in New Orleans), and their families. Among them, the uncle and nephew and their spouses had 19 children. "A few years later, the uncle/nephew unit when into seperate businesses operating from the 3200 block of Calhoun called 'The Calhoun Dairy' and from the 6300 block of South Claiborne called 'La Creole Belle'. During the 1920s, there was an exodus of the large dairy farms from within the city limits," said Morlas, who added that both dairies moved to Jefferson Parish.

| 17964 | I186 | Morlas | Jean-Marie | 14 Nov 1846 | Yes, date unknown | 0 | Bennie Zahn wrote that "Jean-Marie Morlas was born at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, 14 May 1846 au Capule with Joseph GORDAY, farmer, age 36, and Pierre BIAMOURET, 48, as witnesses." She went on to note that the dates of his immigration, marriage and death are unknown. As daughter Marie Morlas was shown on the 1870 census to be born circa 1862 in New Orleans, his immigration and marriage were sometime prior to that date. There appears to be discrepency between Jean/John's date of birth as reported by Bennie Zahn, and as shown on the 1870 Louisiana census. If his age on the above referenced census was accurate, then he would have been born circa 1838. If the birth date of May, 1846 is accurate, then he should have instead been listed on the 1870 census as age 24. Being born in the year 1846 would also mean that he was just 16 when he married Caroline and when his first daughter born, with his wife being five years his senior. Perhaps the original French records were misread or mistranscribed? Jean-Marie abandoned his family. It is assumed he vanished sometime in 1878, as according to Bennie Zahn, his sons Bertrand and John Dominic were admitted to St. Mary's Catholic Orphan Boys's Home on 17 Jan 1879, and discharged in February 1880. The city directory of 1888 listed his wife as the widow of John Morlas. Her residence at the time was Tonti between Poydras and Julia Street. |

Bennie Zahn wrote, in the January 9, 2000 issue of THE TIMES-PICAYUNE (Living, Section E, page 7), that "The property was originally acquired in the late 1800s by John Morlas who made the purchase with silver dollar coins collected from wealthy customers on his milk route. The family legend is, that whenever he was given a silver dollar in payment for milk and cream, he tossed it onto the top of the armoire in his bedroom. When this property which adjoined the Tulane (University) tract was put on the market, he gathered all of the silver coins, counted them and found that he had $8,000, enough to buy the property. After his death in 1923, his wife, Lucine Roquevert Morlas, sold part of the tract, about 3,800 feet long with a depth varying from 100 to 140 feet, for $100,000 for the then proposed St. Vincent Infant Asylum. Within a year, the property was resold for $165,000 to men who had successful experience in local developement and who started immediately to beautify the ground. Today the property is called Versailles Boulevard and extends from Claiborne Avenue to Fontainebleau Drive." | STR06 |

| 17970 | I174 | Morlas | Josephine Marguerite | 13 Apr 1905 | 6 Sep 1983 | 0 | In his biography of his mother, Keith McGuire wrote that she was born in her parents home at 6333 South Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans. She was baptized at the Most Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, and later attended school at Holy Name, less than 20 blocks from her home. She attended High School at the Holy Name of Jesus, graduating in June 1923. She received credits for both four years of Latin and four years of French After she completed High School, she enrolled with her cousin, Hazel Roquevert, at the Charity Hospital in New Orleans to study nursing. They soon decided that this was not their vocation, and jointly terminated their enrollment. Most summers were spent visiting Lucine and Grady Quinn in Sturgis, Mississippi and vactioning with their family on the Gulf Coast at Biloxi. In the summer of 1929, however, Josephine went to Europe with her Mother, younger sisters Vivian and Eleanor, and cousin Stella O'Brien. They travelled by Ocean Liner on a tour "especially prepared for a Party of Five Ladies" by the American Express World Service Travel Department. The group left for Europe on June 3, 1929, the ocean voyage itself taking several weeks. While in Europe, they toured France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and then returned to France. On their return voyage, they stopped in both Santender, Spain and Havana, Cuba. They arrived home again on September 10, 1929. Pat Strong writes that it was the following summer, while vacationing on the Gulf Coast, that Josephine met, fell in love and eloped with her husband Keith McGuire. Shortly afterwards they were married in a Catholic church in New Orleans. Vivian was a witness at both weddings. Josephine left her family in New Orleans to be with her husband in Oklahoma, which was where they raised their children, Keith and Pat. Josephine always kept in close touch with her family, being an excellent and reliable correspondent. She also saw her family occasionally over the years. Pat remembers her mother as being a social force in Camargo. She was very outgoing and loved to entertain and give parties, something not many other mothers did. She also wrote the "Camargo News" column for the Vici Beacon. She later worked for this newspaper after her husband died. When Josephine was suddenly left widowed at age 42, she had only a small inheritance from her mother (some $1,400) and the proceeds from the sale of Keith's welding shop to help support her family. Even though she had never worked outside the home before, after her husbands death it became necessary for her to work. She had several different jobs over the years as a U.S. Census enumerator, as a clerk in a newspaper office, as a saleslady in department stores, and mainly as a waitress in restaurants and coffee shops. In her later years, she and her second husband, Kenneth, did custodian work for a number of offices as well. After her youngest child Pat graduated from high school, Josephine moved to Weatherford, Oklahoma and worked while Pat attended Southwestern State College. After Pat graduated, they moved to Mooreland where Pat taught school for two years. When Pat moved to Stillwater to work on her master's degree at Oklahoma State University, Josephine moved to Woodward and continued working. Josephine married Kenneth Carpenter, who had been a friend of her late husband, shortly before Pat married Charles Strong, a fellow student at Oklahoma State University. Even though it was not easy for Josephine after her first husband died and in her later years, she seemed to get a lot of pleasure out of everything she did in life. Carpenter, 77 Funeral services for Mrs. Kenneth (Josephine) Carpenter, 77, 923 1/2 Cherry, Woodward, will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in Stecher Mortuary Chapel. The Rev. Michael Wheelahan of St. Peter's Catholic Church will officiate and burial will be in Camargo Cemetery. She was born in New Orleans, La., April 13, 1906 (sic) and died in a McAlester Hospital late Tuesday following a lengthy illness. She attended school at Holy Name Academy in New Orleans. She later taught school at the Academy and St. Rita's school in New Orleans. On July 30 (sic), 1930 she was married to Keith David McGuire at Biloxi, Mississippi, and they moved to Camargo, where he was killed in an airplane accident on January 4, 1948. She moved to Woodward where on September 1, 1956 she was married to Kenneth Carpenter, and he preceded her in death on December 30, 1981. She was a member of the Catholic Church. She is survived by a son Keith McGuire, McAlester; a daughter, Mrs. Patricia Marion Strong, Edenburg (sic), Tex.,; three sisters Mrs. (sic) Juliet Morlas, Mrs. Vivian Schoenfeld, and Mrs. Eleanor Rohli, New Orleans; 10 grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. (Published in The Woodward Daily Press, Wednesday, September 7, 1983; copy courtesy of Keith McGuire) Josephine's date of birth was April 13, 1905. This meant she was not quite a month older than her husband, Keith. The thought of being even slightly older than her husband was so upsetting that Josephine immediately began to report her date of birth as one year later than in actually was, reporting it as April 13, 1906. Even her death certificate and obituary reflected this incorrect year. |

CASEY--June 1, 2000 This is indeed the end of an era. Mama is the last of her immediate Morlas family. Eight sisters and four brothers have gone before her. And I have lost the best friend I ever had. For Mama, life was a long journey, and in her 91 years she had many side trips and outings along the way. She loved reminiscing about them. With great relish she used to tell about her first plane ride. She was not quite 14, and her father, who died in 1923, was still alive. Someone was selling plane rides over New Orleans for about $15 apiece. Mama's mother arranged for Mama and some of her sisters to take a ride. While they were flying overhead, Mama's parents were sitting in their yard. When Mama's father saw the plane, he said to Grandma, "I wonder what fools are in that plane." Grandma spared him the truth. In 1926 and 1929, Mama, her mother and unmarried sisters toured Europe. Mama got more mileage out of those trips than anybody else, I know. She loved telling how she was followed after an evening out in Amsterdam by a big crowd because the people thought she, in her long evening gown, was a movie star. She regaled us with stories of officers and college students on the ships who were madly in love with her. I never doubted her for a moment. Then there was the flight to Detroit in 193l with Grandma and Aunt Eleanor to buy the Hupmobile and drive it home. In 1938 there was the sad journey by train from Corpus Christi, Texas, to New Orleans when Mama learned her sister Clothilde was dying. Mama's family and friends meant more to her than anything else. I was brought up in a home where I felt secure and loved. Vivian, Jim, Bob, Noel and I knew we were blessed. We and other family members have talked a lot lately about things we did together, places we went: a trip to Sturgis, Mississippi, when I was about 15 to visit Aunt Lucille and family, weekend excursions to Mississippi in a car loaded with cement and tools so Daddy could work on his swimming pool. Mama and Daddy named their place at Beneshewaah KAVIJIBONO, using the first two letters of each of their five children's names. We enjoyed many happy gatherings there with family and friends. Mama and Aunt Eleanor went by train to California to see Jim who was there in the Navy. They also visited Uncle John. Aunt Leontine had sent Mama and Aunt Eleanor off with a big box lunch. The travelers laughed all the way to California and back. Mama and Daddy went to Colorado in 1972 with Jim and Dee and Aunt Dora and Uncle Larry. Just recently in the hospital Mama said they had a "wonderful time." Noel reminded me night before last that on that trip after eating at a roadside park, Mama threw a paper cup over her shoulder and it landed in a trash receptacle. Jim said, "I bet you can't do that again." He gave her another cup and once again she made a goal. Mama was always on target no matter what she was doing. When Mama and Daddy stayed at a dude ranch once with Bob and Genie and their children, Mama got to ride horseback again for the first time in many years since she had ridden regularly along the levee. She took great pleasure telling how as a young woman, she was thrown over a horse's head and had to lead the horse to a lamp post and climb up the post to remount and gallop away uninjured. On trips to St. Martinville, Mama and Daddy relaxed and enjoyed "happy hour" on Bob and Genie's front porch. There were trips with Vivian and Sig and their children to Austin and to Daytona Beach and later with Vivian to Daytona Beach, Disney, World and Key West. And, Mama never missed a grandchild's wedding even if it meant traveling to Daytona Beach and later to San Antonio while nursing a broken pelvis. Over the years, Mama and I reminisced about life when Vivian, Jim, Bob, Noel and I were children. Visiting was a big part of our entertainment. I remember a family reunion at Grandma's on South Tonti Street. On Sundays we went to see Uncles Louis, Leon and Paul and Aunts Leontine, Stella, Lucille, Jennie, Juliet and Eleanor. When Aunt Josephine came to town from Oklahoma, we had get-togethers on a large scale. When I was a child, my brothers, Vivian and I took rides to the lakefront and Audubon Park where we'd run up and down Monkey Hill, look at the seals and visit the zoo. Daddy would take us swimming. Every Easter we'd pick clover in the park for our baskets, and at Christmastime we'd take rides to see the lights and then go to Canal Street to see Santa Claus waving from the balcony at D. H. Holmes. Noel tells about going downtown with Mama to shop and eat at Kress or McCrory's. On one occasion when he was about five, Mama bought him a little rubber mouse which he left on the streetcar. When they discovered his loss, he was heartbroken. Mama, carrying him, ran after the streetcar but couldn't get it to stop. She even called NOPSI to see if anyone had turned in Noel's lost treasure. No such luck. On their next trip downtown, Mama bought Noel another rubber mouse. Life was simple, and it was good. For years Vivian was Mama's wheels-running her errands and taking her to her doctors and to visit family and friends. In recent years, Mama didn't go out much, but her radios and telephone took her where she wanted to go. She looked forward to talking to her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. They were very good to her, and Mama was good to everybody. She was thrifty and generous, a happy combination which benefited many of us. Family and friends played a vital part in Mama's life to the end, and they kept dropping in and phoning her at the hospital. One day I counted 20 visitors. She seemed happy being surrounded by those who love her. Mama knew she was dying, and she accepted death with prayers and peace. And there was laughter, too. Only a few days before she died Noel had Mama smiling over a hilarious story about Linda's dog Promise. I owe all that I am and all that I have to my parents, and my life will be very different without Mama. It is awfully hard to say goodbye, and I won't. Instead, for Mama-our dear, sweet Mangie-on her final journey, I wish her Godspeed. |

| 17992 | I3168 | Morris | Amon Perry | Abt 1826 | Between 1861 and 1865 | 0 | Per the 1850 Sabine County, Texas census, Ammon Morris owned 4 slaves. The Amon Perry Morris is listed in the 1863-1864 Sabine County Roster of indigents families of CSA soldiers-enumerated in the 1850 (sic) census of Sabine County, Texas and it is indicated that he did not return after the war. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 79). Ann McElhaney writes that "Amon Perry Morris Sr. born in Mississippi in 1825/6. I believe his family was enroute to Texas then as he is the only one born in Miss. Now his siblings were born in LA or Texas. But I think they were really all in the same place as Texas borders were not set and at some point Sabine was considered a parish of Louisanna. I believe Ammon Sr was killed in the battle in San Jacinto in 1866ish. But his son Amon Jr never knew Amon Sr. Amon Jr. is my maternal great grandad. Siblings for Amon Jr. : Mary C.F. Morris DOB 1847/48 in LA Alfred W. Morris 1849/50 La. Drucilla 1852 Sarah E or G 1854 Shadric 1857 John June 1860 Amon (one 'n') 25 March 1864 in Sabinetown Texas. . .this is far east Texas and there is a little town called Hemphill there where I believe his dad is buried. Shadrach who was Amon Srs. dad fought in the US army in the War of 1812 and was in the Battle of New Orleans led by Andrew Jackson. This was a battle that firmly established our nation's independence from England and it was a magnificent defeat of the most powerful navy in the world coming on the heels of the defeat by the English of Napoleon in France. Shadrach obtained a land grant in southeast Texas from Mexico prior to the Texas Revolution. The family story is that somehow the land was taken from him and was a very significant loss as the spindletop oil discovery (hence Exxon) was built on that land. We do know there is some truth to that as in the 1930's Exxons lawyers came to Sherman Texas where many of the Morris family lived and tried to get them to sign some kind of release. Everyone in the family knew to never sign anything! ann mcelhaney annmclpc@aol.com |
