Tough as nails. Had a house full of very nice kids. She was nice also. I don't know what happened to any of her children. The family moved out of state. The last time I saw any of the family was in 1955. I don't think her family approved of her husband. He was so funny. He told stories on himself, he was always the butt of his stories. When the Aunts came to visit they always visited her. When Aunt Matt, Aunt Cora and Aunt Fannie and Aunt Bertha came to our house, my mother always took them to visit Myrtle. I remember how pleased Myrtle was to have visitors. She was married to Bill Yenks. I'm not sure about the spelling. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

He also said that he disowned his daughter Myrtle and had nothing to do with her.

I was searching for Tom and Jim's grave and found Charles Manning's tomestone. Had the correct date of birth and death date as verified by his granddaughter. On the 1900 Stoddard Co., Mo. census Mattie, Cora, Bertha and Robert are children living at home, then Myrtle, granddaughter and then Louisa, daughter-in-law and then Hattie, granddaughter. Aunt Fannie, Mattie's older sister, said Myrtle's mother, Lucinda Johnson, died when Myrtle was a baby. Aunt Fannie lived to be in her late 90s and her mind was clear to the time she died. I've wondered if one of the 12 children that Martha bore could have died and Louisa was his wife. I neer remember hearing about another. But when I was young people did not talk about someone that died. Too painful I suppose. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I'm not sure who else Louisa could be. There were only two sons who could have been married. The third son of course died at age 14 in 1908. The only possible solution for the daughter in law named Louisa was Thomas's first wife Lucinda or Delia (James' wife) goes by Louisa (maybe a middle initial). We'd need to find census records with James and Delia together in 1900. Married in 1895, it would make sense for Thomas and Lucinda to have a daughter about Hattie's age. Kind of rules James and his family out. Unfortunately, my grandmother remembers very little about Mattie's family. What I have is a result of lots of collaboration and hours of hard work digging through whatever I can get my hands on. Up until your message, I thought that maybe Thomas had died and that's why Louisa (aka Lucinda) was living with a daughter in her husband's parents' home, but that theory now seems defunct. I, too, found the census record in Arkansas that you were talking about. I may be wrong but Charles Manning is buried in Woodruff Co. to my memory and McCrory cemetery sounds right for him too. At the very least, I know I have some Mannings buried in McCrory. I am wondering if several of the Stewart children moved to Arkansas at the same time and lived near one another. Seems too much of a coincidence. --Micah-- Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Do u think that Lucinda is the same one that is living with Cardinal and Martha ? I still cant see why Leatha 13 or 14 would have married Thomas at 31. I wonder why Thomas divorced Lucinda. When my mother in law was alive I would ask her questions about Thomas and Leatha and she wouldnt say anything. She just would say she took care of them and Demetra Floyds sister until Leatha and Thomas passed away. If I ever get out to Stoddard county I will sure look for your other names.
