Hi, have been thinking about your letter. I know I was a paulbearer for Squire Morga, and think I was for Ira Hurley. As I remember one or both had one set of bearers to the church and another set of Masonic Bearers at the cemetery, where a masonic graveside service was held. Hard to remember teh details of one funeral so close together in a community which had more deaths than births. I definitely remember my wife and I going to their house early in the A.M. to help with household chores and breakfast. Col. Honzie Rodgers was already there making coffee and cooking breakfast. He worketd all day making kin and well wishers welcome, the ones who brought food. He had a ranch towards Iredell. He had married Tom Fair's sister. Tom was Walnut Springs postmaster and had a farm by Honzie's ranch, His sisterand my Aunt Mary Wyly attended nurse's training school together- either at Tarleton otr St. Joseph's in Fort Worth. Squire Morgan lived a block from the Hurleys on same block I lived on. Stories were his older brother J.P. Morgan (???) had managed to obtain Squire's inheritance of the Morgan- Campbell Ranch near Morgan, Texas and his interest in developing some railroads and a steamship or two. Squire and Ira Hurley were large- tall but gentle men. Both loved fishing and gardening. Squire was a poet and some of his poems were read at his funeral, Tthey were better than many published today. . When my daughter ran to tell his widow I got 2 A.s that summer at North Texas State and my M. Ed. degree was complete, she came through the back yard carrying an Ingraham pendolum mantle clock with alarm which she said had been the Morgan family 150 years in 1960's and it was my graduation present. It will still run. Keep this in mind as you select graduation gifts- the gift has value, but the background story is more valuable. She could have sold the clock, but she gave it to someone she knew appreciated it.

I need a cemetery lookup for a Robert L. George and his wife Sudie George. They lived somewhere between Stephenville and Lingleville. Would appreciate any help I can get. Lola

Hi, check the post on Jackson's Crossing and Ira Hurley's death. I was one of his paulbearers. His wife Lela and my great Aunt Etta Robinson Moxley were lifelong friends and I took them from Walnut Springs to Indian Creek cem., Hatchett Cem.(Selden) and Tom Arendell's grave and cabin at Selden, not in Hamilton County as one history book said. Charles Wyly, Johnsville, Selden, and Hewitt, Texas. P.S. "Uncle A" Hurley used to gin his cotton at Kay then Stone Gin at Selden. Jean Wakefield Riggs said he used to stop his cotton wagon and visit with my Great Uncle Bill- William Sevier Wyly, born Blont Co. Tenn or Hiawasse Ga. his great nephew Kevin Woods now lives in the same house, minus the coverred and charcoal filterred rainwater cistern, resembling a well, across the road from our farm. Dad took us to Aunt Mary Hurley's birthday- a barbecue between Elvis Riggs and Ruby Beech Rumph. She, about 80, walked a hundred yards to the tank and told the boys swimming there to put an undershirt over their trunks- they looked naked. They did. We didn't argue with authority figures like the kids I teach today.

I saw a Rev. Head in the old Erath County Appeal newspaper from the 1890s. Who was he and what denomination would that be? Julia

Are your Smiths related to Eliza Smith wife of Christopher C. Huff? They also went from MS to Erath and Johnson Co... TX. Wanda

My parents, Clinton Hendrix Tyler and Edna Mae (Huey) Tyler, were married in Lingleville in 1914. My aunt Alma (Huey) Goodman still lives at age 101, in a convalescent home in Stephenville. Grandfather Ira Huey and Grandmother Rose (Hawkins) Huey owned a farm near Harbin community in Erath in the early 1900s, and my mother and her three younger sisters attended Harbin School.

Bill, So there is another HEAD family? I wasn't sure. I know that Benjamin Wesley and Sarah HEAD are there at Clairette and know a few of the others. My grandfather left me pictures of Oscar Head, Hunt D. Cargill, Bettie and Zebulan Tidwell , Leny, W. W. and Lizzie HEAD's headstones. He also has many references to Mary Cozby, a picture of her headstone and the church in Alexander near her house. I don't know who she is. What do you know about Dora, Jim and Ed? Do you know this family? My grandfather told me a story about my gg-grndfather, Benjamin Wesley Head. Said he shot a man in the stomach with a shotgun at a gin (cotton?) Do you know anything about this? I am also interested in what Charles Wylie said about old Milam Co. I had many relatives that came to Milam Co. Tx in the early 1800s and have not been able to track them down, I'll widen my search.

Hi, forgot to mention that Milam County of Spanish days was from Cameron north- Mclennan, Bosque, Erath, and others to the north grew out of Milam County as the Apaches and Comanches were removed after their brief attempt to take settlers land during the Civil War, including the civilized Caddo and Cherokee settlers in Palo Pinto County.

The husband of Dora HEAD was Marlon Zachary "Zack" BARROW, son of Burrell Gerdine "Doc" BARROW and Roetta ZACHARY. James Marion "JIm" HEAD married Laura KEITH, daughter of Steve KEITH. Edward Upstead "Ed" HEAD married Mary Catherine TURNBOW, daughter of James William TURNBOW and Laura Belle "Ollie" MYERS The HEAD families that are buried at Clairette Cemetery are descendants of William Washington HEAD and his wives, Malina COSBY and Sarah LOWERY (first wife). Oscar Gerome HEAD, son of the second marriage, was the father of ten children by his first wife, Mary Emaline MANESS, and had one child by his second wife, Julia CARR. Most of the HEAD family at the Clairette Cemetery descend from Oscar.

If anyone on the list is researching any of the above families in Erath Co., please contact me. Some of the Whitfields came to Erath Co. before 1880 from Alabama; others followed, including Marion Nathaniel Whitfield and his wife Susan Lee, by early 1894. The Lees also came from Alabama in the 1890s. The Pairs were from Missouri/Kentucky and were in Erath Co. before 1875. The McAlisters were related to the Pairs by marriage, and came from Missouri/Kentucky/Tennessee, probably in the same time-frame. The Bowmans came to Erath Co. from Georgia and were in Erath Co. before 1875. If anyone knows of these families, I'd appreciate hearing from them. Loretta Pair Thompson lpt@hal-pc.org

Tarleton Academy and College was nort yet part of the Texas A&M system and the Mcilhaney academy and Huckaby's Farmers Grange academy/college had been as popular as Tarleton at first.

I am just a 70 year old kid who helpped cause the Great Depression- but Erath county folk ate steak, turkey, chicken, pork, wild grapes and plums in all forms of Jellies and jams,syrup and honey from our farms, gardens, orchards, peanuts, corn,Polk salad, Black Haws,pecans, walnuts, fish,watermellons, cantaloupes,pears, sweet and Irish potatoes, Berries, Mustang and Opossum Grapes, squirrel,Cottontail, Jack, and swamp rabbits, and others without having to buy it- just grow , catch, or pick your own wild and farmed. Bee trees could be marked with a brand listed with County Court under State law, and anyone else could not cut it legally. Half the honey went to the land owner. My grandkids think all the above fit to eat comes from HEB Grocery, Kroger's, or United Super. . I managed to work in 2 Degrees and Military and Aircraft (Convair Fort Worth) in while we raised our two kids.I still do substitute teaching in McLennan County. A major source of info on a few thousand European immigrants and Americans moving west is in the old TP Coal and Oil library on the Johnson Ranch in Old Thurber- locked and protected- wish it was all on computer, or at least published for research. Many Czech in Mclennan County and Italian in Falls Counties would fit here. as would some from Newcastle mine near Graham, Texas. Thurber was 10 t0 20 times as large as Stephenville around 1900& before.Stephenville was one of the last towns to get a Railroad in the County. Today Thurber is almost gone- 2 cafes & 3 people to catch the I- 20 traffic and Tarleton kids partying at Mingus, 3 or 4 miles north in Palo Pinto County.
