Name: Archibald Cambell MCDOUGAL Nickname: Uncle Mc Or Cam Sex: M Birth: 13 APR 1823 in AL Death: 4 NOV 1894 in Aubrey,Denton Co,TX Burial: McKenzie Wilson Cemetery Note: Below is a copy of a letter that I have from Lizzie Street Wallace to M.D. East. The original is kept at the U. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Library. Lizzie Wallace to M.D. East Chico, Wise Co. TX Dec. 20, 1896 Mr. M.D. East, Denton Co. Dear Sir: I am at this place visiting, accidentally saw your notice in the Baptist Standard of Waco, TX in regard to our Cam McDougal. He died about two years ago in Oct. 1894. I think I can get you the exact date of his death when I go home. He was living with his second wife (his first wife was an East) at Aubrey, Denton Co, TX. His son in law Hon. Jno Watson is living in Houston, Tex is now ____ (can't read what this said) of the Masonic Grand Lodge. His (Watsons) first wife who was Kate McDougal died years ago leaving one girl baby who is now grown and married. Her address two years ago was Mrs. Lallie Mason, Clarksville, Red River Co, Tex. This girl is the only living offspring of A.C. McDougal. I am a descendent of one of the East sisters who came to Texas about the same time. They were Kitty, Martha and my grandmother. Martha and grandmother both married men by the name of Pace. Martha never had children. Grandmother had 4. My mother (Melinda), Edwin, Eugenia and David. Edwin died when a child, Eugenia married, died and has only 2 children living, Rev. H.E. Luck of Oak Cliff, Tex and Miss Jessie Luck of Waco, Tex. Uncle David when last heard from was at Lamasco, Tex. I don't know how many children he has. My mother is Mrs. J.K. Street of Lampasses, Tex. She has 2 children, myself and my sister Kate. My grandmother and grandfather both died when their children were small. Uncle Scion and Aunt Martha Pace raised the children. Martha and Scion are both dead. Your name led me to believe you would be interested in all the East family who are in Tex. I want you to write to me and tell me who you are. You can learn the particulars of Uncle Macs death by either writing to Mrs. Mason or Mrs. Watson. My address is Mrs. J.E. Wallace, Belton, Bell co, Tex. Uncle Mac married a widow (Mrs. Hyatt) the second time. I think she is still at Aubrey, Tex. Please let me hear from you, our family is not very large and I know very little about any of them out of this state.

I did like the library when I was there but it was not convenient for me. I was asked to leave all my research material out of the research room, I couldn't take anything in there with me.

The Adams Memorial Library is hosting this affair and would be honored with your presence there on Saturday, May 26 or on Monday, May 28. Now is the time to make this event happen if it is to ever happen at all. Peggy Tate is to be commended for her volunteering to put such a meeting together.

To all those interested connoisseurs of that delightful southern food called poke salet, the following is a rendition of my mother's recipe. This was given me verbally last evening. Pick only young, tender stalks of the poke plant. The leaves cook down considerably so it requires a good amount to make a "mess". Wash the plants thoroughly before the preparation begins for cooking. Place in a large container and cover generously with water. Generally speaking, the more water the better but don't fill to top as room will be needed for boiling. Heat until it begins to boil. Add a pinch of baking soda and stir in as it continues to boil. The soda "tames the flavor" of the wild plant. Let boil until the leaves are wilted and the water begins to cook down. Usually about 10 to 15 minutes. The ladies will know what she means when she describes this process as "parboiling". This is the step that cooks out the poisons in the plant. Very Important! Pour off any remaining boiled water and thoroughly rinse the leaves in cold tap water. Again, it is important to do this thoroughly to remove any of the poisonous residue that cooked out and may remain on the plants. Drain the plants well after rinsing. Put in smaller cooking pan and pour in fresh cold water to barely cover leaves. Season to taste. (bacon drippings, salt & pepper). Cook on medium heat and continue to stir while cooking until the water cooks out. At this point, the poke salet should be done. (Tender). Pour into serving dish and garnish salet with sliced boiled eggs. Vinegar may be added to suit one's personal taste. This recipe is much like that of cooking turnip greens or other kinds of greens. Enjoy! Danny Nichols
