Hi, By any chance are you related to the (G>M>)?) Carlton store owners of Stephenville, ? I have a photo opf some of mom's and Dad's age group standing by one of these signs, appx. 1920's. Also, any connection to the Carlton community namesakes outside Dublin or Hico? Also, my Aunt Mary Ella Wyly was a Captain in Army Nurse Corps in WW2 in 6 Combat zones and the hospital set up in New Billibib Prison overlooking Manilla. She was also on the shipping list for the invasion of Japan, before the Atomic Bomb was dropped.She was also in Australia. She is now 91 years of age and in William R. Courtney Texas State Veteran's Land Board Home in Temple, Texas and uses the Scot & White Hospital. the First Texas State Land Board home was built in Floresville, Texas after the Civil War. We now have 4 and, thanks to a recent election , 4 or 5 more are in the State plans to be built with State Land Board Financing. Aunt Mary's grandad Robert Augustine Wyly was born in Georgia and was at Civil War Battle of Shiloh, a 13 year old Drummer Boy- turning soldier. One of his 22 siblings, Capt. James Allen Wyly, was injured and disabled and returned to his farm and tannery very bitter, he went out to his field and buried his officer's sword. Great Grandad Robert and his brother Bill- Bill- William Sevier Wylyrode a saddle horse with the 36 wagon train from Wyly Cotton Yard and Mercantile 4 story Brick in Atlanta, to Erath County, Texas where over half of his siblings came to. Augustine Clayton Wyly was his Uncle and Augustine and Ben Franklin Wyly ran the Wholesale house and cotton yard and farms from Gordon, Cass, habersham, and other Georgia Counties. A.C. and a Edmiston cousin were in Liverpool, England during Civil War for supplies when the Liverpool shipyards were building Confederate Battleships. One was sunk by U.S. Navy in Liverpool Harbor , definitely in British territory. Ben is buried in Comanche County, Texas Augustine lost two young daughters to Diptheria in Liverpool -Mary Troup Wyly and sister and today there is a newly dedicated Confederate memorial Trail where over 40 Americans are buried , including the two Wylys. Guides are available to the trail and shipyards . I can send you more on this from a Bob Jones of Liverpool who has researched and helped develop the trail and, as a retiree, he plays in a Senior Citizens Band to raise money to maintain the trail. If headstones begin to lean, they must be straightened or the British will lay them on the ground for safety. Great Grandad Robert died when i was 8 years old- he was 91, 1937 and when his wife Ella Hatchett died, he married Fronea McGee and then moved to Hico, then to Tulsa,Ok. where they died of Typhoid. In 1936 he had dedicated to Tulsa Tomb to the Unknown Soldier in one of the Morer's Funeral home and cemetery parks. he said that after all that horseback riding in Civil War and from Atlanta to Stephenville, he was saddle sore and didn't care if he ever saw Atlanta again. He had cousins in Tulsa- intermarried leaders of Western Cherokee Nation and still prominent there. There were at least 3 Wagons in the train owned by Black married men who carried the Wyly name and brought their wives and kids in wagons they personally paid for , as well as the horses and neeeds for the trip. They left the Wagon Train between Hico and Stephenville and started a crossroads community near Lubbock. The Texas State Veterans homes are open to any retired or disabled Veteran, their spouses, and Gold Star Mothers (Those who lost a child overseas). If one is on full disability and Aids and Attendants (Not Medicaid) they may have up to $50,000.00 in savings and gain money each month after all expenses are paid. Partially disabled have to pay some- and some drive their car or Wheel Chair to Temple Mall . Contact the Manager of the homes in Temple, Bonham, Big Spring, or Floresville and visit in person and follow his instructions for quick Admission. You can see and read about them through a Google search. It takes much longer to do it all by computer or through the U.S. Veterans Administration.
