She was Tempie (Temperance?) Elizabeth Bunch (1862-1907), first marriage to Green Moody -- children May Belle (1881-1927) and Luther Marion Moody (1883-1966); second marriage to Christopher Columbus Golden (1849-1907), children Martha Elizabeth Beavers (my Aunt Patsy), Minnie Ellen (1888-1899), Margaret Ettna Shearer (my wonderful grandma, 1891-1985), Mary Ellis Simmons (Aunt Kitty, 1893-1978), Monta Evelyn Hoppers (1895-1926), Myrtle Evins Smith (Aunt Myrtle, 1898-1982), Mirenda Ethel (1900-1902) and Myra Edna (1902-1902). > Tempie's parents were Walter Bunch, b. ?, d. 1866 Mississippi County, and Hulda J. ?, b. ?, d. 1872 Mississippi County. I am trying to find out the origins of Walter Bunch and Hulda's maiden name. From fragments of probate documents, I assume Tempie was the only child of this marriage since she was made ward of John G. Henderson in June of 1872. I am curious if there may have been previous marriages and children. > Christopher Columbus Golden's mother was Martha Elizabeth Thompson ( 6/27/1830-3/14/1865), m. O.B. Golden (b. ?, d. 10/1/1849 --19 days before his son was born). His mother re-married in December of 1857, to William Biship of Mississippi County. Christopher Columbus Golden was married a first time to an unknown lady and had two sons, Harry and George. My mother remembers that her Uncle George lived around Dell and ran a boarding house with his wife and maybe had a sawmill; her Uncle Harry lived in Manila, Ar., with his wife Abby, and they ran a gas station and a grocery store. > So many I could have learned from are gone now, and I feel a real urgency to record all these stories of bravery, endurance and love for my daughter and my cousins. Unfortunately, I live in California and the possibility of my retirement and thus, freedom to roam around collecting information, is at least four years away. I would be interested in any bit of information that anyone might pass my way, and I will return the favor whenever I can. > Tempie and her husband died of "the fever" within a week of one another in 1907, and were supposed to have been buried in the "Wilkens graveyard." Does that graveyard still exist as such? > > > ==== ARMISSIS Mailing List ==== > Subject lines are important!
