On Wednesday, January 24, 2018, Gloria Jean Arnold passed away in her home in Austin, Texas, at the age of 96.
Gloria was born in Kelseyville, California, the fourth daughter of Reuben B. Rickabaugh, an entrepreneur and fruit orchard farmer, and Emma Priscilla Harper Rickabaugh. When Gloria was only 13, Reuben died, leaving Emma to shepherd Gloria and her four sisters, Joyce, Jane, June, and Jasmine, through Depression Era life. Gloria enjoyed her school years. In 1939 she was elected Attendant to the Queen at the area Almond Blossom Festival. Though the family saw years of struggle, Gloria remembered fondly her small-town childhood in Northern California with her mother and sisters.
After graduating from high school, Gloria and a girlfriend traveled by Greyhound bus across the southwest to Houston, where she enrolled in the Hermann Hospital School of Nursing. In nursing school, Gloria was number one in her class for three years, and she graduated with highest honors. After graduation, Gloria worked as a surgical nurse for well-known Houston physician Dr. E. W. Bertner.
While a student at Hermann, she met Dr. Hiram Arnold, who was the instructor for her nursing class in pharmacology. Their developing relationship was interrupted by World War II when Hiram was deployed overseas as a Captain with the Army's 127th General Hospital Unit. At the end of the war, within days of his return from Europe, Hiram and Gloria were married, a union that was to continue for 62 years.
The newly married couple lived in Galveston, where Gloria worked as a nurse at St. Mary's Hospital, then moved to Houston, where Hiram entered private practice. They soon started a family with sons Frank Rickabaugh born in 1947 and Forrest Douglas in 1950.
Settling in southwest Houston, Hiram and Gloria raised their sons and participated for three decades in a large, close-knit extended family and in a large group of what would prove to be lifelong friends. They were for many years active members of Bethany Methodist Church.
Gloria was an untiring volunteer and devoted time to, among other organizations, the Harris County Medical Society Auxiliary, the Methodist Hospital Chaplain's Office, and the American Cancer Society.
When she was already 50, Gloria became an avid tennis player; she played tennis for 25 years.
Retiring to East Texas in the mid-1970s, Hiram and Gloria built a home on the Toledo Bend Reservoir near Hemphill, the small town where Hiram had grown up. Hiram and Gloria were principals in developing the J. R. Huffman Library in Hemphill. After the library opened in 1994, they served for years on its board of directors.
After their years of living on the lake, Hiram and Gloria moved to Lufkin, where they extended their circle of friends and were members of First United Methodist Church. Gloria volunteered as a literacy teacher and a mentor to young people. She was a member of Lufkin's History Club and the Literary Club.
After Hiram passed away, Gloria continued living in Lufkin, then moved to Austin where her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were living.
Gloria Jean Rickabaugh Arnold is survived by, and will be greatly missed by, her sister Jasmine Jorgenson; her sons Rick and his wife Linda and Forrest and his wife Cindy; her grandsons Sam and Mason; and her great grandchildren Daxton and Cecily.
A memorial service honoring the life of Gloria Arnold will be held at the First United Methodist Church in Lufkin on Saturday, March 24th, 2018, at 11 AM.
Those wishing to make a memorial donation should contact the J. R. Huffman Library at 375 Sabine St., Hemphill, Texas, 75948.

Grandpa Rischling Gone....After an illness lasting than two long years, Frank Rischling passed away last Thursday in the early morning, May 12, and the remains were interred in the Bohemian National cemetery Saturday afternoon. He suffered a stroke of paralysis two years ago and from that date to the day of his passing away, there was never a hope of his recovery. It was his lot to wait in patience for Father Time to garner him to his fold and the time was long and dreary and never ending. It was with wonderful fortitude that he bore his suffering and waited for the end to come.
The deceased was born in Bohemia, in Krivokat, November 1, 1841 and came to this country in 18_2. In 187_He was united in marriage to Petrolina Smikova and thereupon returned to Bohemia, where they remained about two years when they again came to this country and settled here permanently taking up land in Saline County. He leaves surviving him his widow and sons, Anton, Joseph, Frank, Henry and Edward and daughters Carolina Korbelik and Kristina Uldrich . For more than ten years the deceased served in the Austrian army under Maximillian a character of much not especially in the affairs of Mexico over which he ruled until put to death. When the Mexicans overthrew the monarchy established for him by France.
The declining years of his life was spent in Milligan and was loved by everyone for his gentle manners and always courteous bearing. The army training had left its impress upon him and taught him to live a life of precision and orderliness. He was a splendid neighbor to have and a fine character to know. Death was a welcome visitor in view of his physical condition and he richly deserves the untroubled sleep that embraces him now in the life beyond where he longed to go.

Era Mae Robbins Smith, 92, passed away peacefully on Aug. 8, 2014, at her home in Boerne surrounded by her loving family. She was born on March 3, 1922, in Hemphill to Era Inez Patterson Robbins and Henry Clyde Robbins, Sr.
She is preceded in death by her parents and her older brother, Henry Clyde "Sonny" Robbins, Jr.
Era Mae was orphaned at age 2 and spent her early years in three different households, lovingly cared for by her aunts. She was nicknamed "Sister" by her cousins, with whom she was raised as a sister, and was known throughout her childhood in East Texas by that name. In 1938, at the age of 16, she married her high school sweetheart, Hugh Love Smith, and they moved to Corpus Christi where they resided until they relocated to Boerne in 2010.
Era Mae's life was rich in activities surrounding her family, her friends, and her faith. She loved her Lord and Savior, and her every action bore witness to that love, the unselfish support for her husband, the leadership and tenacity in guiding the lives of her children as they grew, and the tender compassion she showed for others.
As a member of First Baptist Church of Corpus Christi, Era Mae participated and held leadership positions in numerous study, visitation, and outreach ministries. She served on the building committee for the church's chapel and on the leadership development committee. She was a licensed Real Estate Broker and member of the Corpus Christi Board of Realtors, an award-winning photographer, a talented seamstress, cook, decorator and dancer. She spent countless hours teaching her children how to be self-sufficient, and she enthusiastically supported their activities in church, school and scouting.
Era Mae is survived by her devoted husband of 76 years, Hugh Love Smith, Sr.; son, Hugh Love "Clipper" Smith, Jr. (Nona) of Vicksburg, MS; daughter, Sylvia Ann Smith Griffin (Paul) of Boerne; grandchildren, Stephen Randall Smith (Sherri) of Mathis, James Kelly Smith, Abney Gail Smith and Robin Dean Smith of Vicksburg, MS, Christopher Clark Griffin (Ashleigh) of Austin, and Cynthia Griffin Carr (Brian) of Pleasanton; plus eight great-grandchildren upon whom she loved to dote; cousins, Charlotte King Walker of Lufkin and Doris Jean Doiron of Pasadena, and numerous nieces, nephews and caring friends. She is also survived by the loving extended family of Peggy and Ronnie Schlottman of Center Point.

In 1847, commissioners of the town of Many deeded land to Abraham Roberts (in part) a trustee of the Methodist Church. A two story building was erected, the lower floor of which was used for religious services. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 85).
In 1860, nine year old A. J. Roberts was living with his father, W P Roberts, and three of his cousins, sons of Talitha Roberts and James Stevenson, in Rusk County, Texas. A 1927 affidavit of another cousin, B. R. Payne, stated Albert was the only child of W.P., and that "Albert moved out about Lampasas and I understood his heirs were later somewhere near Brownwood. If living, he would be abut 76 or 77 years old."
White and Toole show her as a daughter of Littleton Fowler ROBERTS and Mollie BLACKMAN. Her siblings are shown as C. C. Roberts, Joseph Roberts, Fannie Roberts, and Magdalena Roberts. They stated that Littleton Fowler Roberts was "Probably the son of Moses F and Nancy Roberts who lived in Shelby County, Texas at the time of the 1850 Census. Also in the household at that time was a 74 year old Margaret Roberts (grandmother?). (White and Toole, p 66)."
In 1886, the five female cousins, Columbus's Mary, age fourteen; Meck's Annie, fifteen; and the three Amanda's (Lon's, Anna's and Mary's) all fifteen, spent a year at Atheanaeum in Columbia, Tennessee. Jimmie Ingram and Lon visited the girls at Christmas and posed for a photograph. The importance the Cartwrights placed on good education continued as each child reached the proper age.

FindAGrave indicates he was a son of Noel Gil Roberts (1813-1864) and Maria Thomas Roberts (b. 1816-), and grandson of Elisha Roberts
Henson and Parmelee have a photo of Benjamin Thomas Roberts in uniform, and note that he served alongside his future brother-in-laws, Leonidas and Americus Cartwright during the Civil War. On May 25, 1861, Lon, Meck "and twenty other volunteers rode to Shelby County, where Captain Short lived, to enlist...Short's company left in June to rendezvous near Dallas, where along with other East Texas units, they were sworn into Col. Elkana Greer's mounted regiment....(and) eventually were designated as the Third Texas Cavalry, and Short's company became Company E." (Henson & Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 200, p. 202) Upon reorganization of the regiment on May 8, 1862, Ben T. Roberts became second sergeant of Company E. (ibid, p. 215) He was taken prisoner at Iuka, and paroled, but had to remain in Iuka to care for wounded Confederatte prisoners. (ibid, p. 218).

Two sources show that the wife of Joseph Tisdale was Catherine Roberts (LZR7-R47), versus Catherine Cox (LTW8-LMF) .
1) Certificate of death for Margaret Anna Reynolds died 27 Feb 1951 in Shreveport LA. Shows her place of birth as Miller County, Arkansas, the daughter of Katherine ROBERTS and Joseph TISDALE.
2) Certificate of death for Roxie Lula Tisdale ADAMS, attached as a memory. She died 3 Feb 1957 in Miller County, Arkansas, and it also shown as the daughter of Katherine ROBERTS and Joseph TISDALE.
Both Margaret and Lula are listed as daughters of Joseph and Catherine TISDALE on the 1880 Miller County, Arkansas census.
The only source showing the name Catherine Cox, is the 1850 Mississippi census, but their is no link to Catherine Cox and Joseph Tisdale shown. It further appears that Catherine Cox (LTW8-LMF) married Edward Bondurant (LTW8-RJF).
Additionally, the Find A Grave memorlal for sons Charles Edward Tisdale and Isaac Memmon Tisdale link them to parents Joseph Tisdale, and Catherine ROBERTS Tisdale, born 12 April 1845 Mississippi and died 29 January 1895. Buried in Holly Springs Cemetery, Miller County, Arkansas. Memorial ID 148766401
This appears to be a match this family, found on the 1850 Newton, Mississippi census. Note that Isaac and Nancy are both born in South Carolina, which is the location that Catherine reports her parents to have been born on the 1880 Miller, Arkansas census.

Summerfield G. Roberts, businessman and philanthropist, was born in Dallas, Texas, and graduated from Wesley College at Terrell in 1910. He received his B.A. from the University of Texas in 1914 and his M.B.A. from Harvard University in 1916. On August 15, 1916, he received a patent for an improved water heater that regulated temperature and steam pressure. During World War I Roberts served in the United States Navy and rose from ensign to lieutenant commander. He married Annie Lee Warren on May 15, 1920. In the early 1920s he moved to Dallas and went on to become a successful oil executive and business leader. As a fifth-generation Texan interested in Texas history and culture, Roberts encouraged writing and research on the Republic of Texas by endowing the Summerfield G. Roberts prize for the best Texas history book through the Sons of the Republic of Texas. The first prize was given to Eugene C. Barker for the Life of Stephen F. Austin in 1951. In addition, Roberts donated his James W. Fannin collection to the Dallas Historical Society and provided funds for a rare book library on Texas history. He donated several Frank Reaugh paintings to the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum and commissioned paintings of the heroes of Texas which currently hang in the Texas State Library. Following his death in Dallas, the Summerfield G. Roberts Foundation was established. [bio info from tshaonline.org]
