Descendants of Mary Gross Shultz(Last updated November 10, 2002)
First Generation1. Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross, daughter of Jacob Gross Sr. and Sabina-Lavina (Dorothy) (Unknown) Gross, was born in Sullivan County, TN 1772. Mary died 1840 in Sycamore Creek, Claiborne County, TN, at 68 years of age. She married Jacob Shultz Sr. in Sullivan County, TN, 1790. Jacob was born in Claiborne County, TN 1767. Jacob was the son of Martin (Johan) Shultz Dr. and Julianna Stentz. Jacob died March 17, 1834 in Sycamore Creek, Claiborne, TN, at 66 years of age. His body was interred in Claiborne, TN. Conflicting evidence states that Jacob was born in Tryon, NC, 1771. Jacob owned land in Sullivan Co as early as 1793 (at that time it was the Territory South of the River Ohio, now Tennessee). He was listed in the 1796 Tax List of Sullivan Co but in November of 1796 he bought 200 acres on Sycamore Creek in what was then Hawkins County but is now Claiborne Co, TN. Jacob also appears in 1799 in the Tax List of Grainger County but this may have simply been a factor of shifting boundaries as counties were split up. Goodspeed's "History of East Tennessee" lists him as "...among the first settlers in Claiborne County...". Mary was the daughter of Jacob and Sabina Gross. It's not certain where Jacob and Mary died and are buried. Don Reagan, in "Smoky Mountain Clans, Vol 2" says that Jacob and Mary "died and were buried in the Sycamore Creek area, Claiborne County.....". However, no headstones have been found for them (if they ever had headstones it's possible they were destroyed during the Civil War when many Claiborne Co cemeteries were demolished!). Earl K. Schultz, in his "An Early American Family", reproduces a letter of Myrtle Braun's, who had copied the family records of Jacob and Louisiana's daughter, Mary Anne. Her records said, writing of Jacob's daughter Catherine (Shults) Hanson moving to Illinois, "Her father Jacob and his wife Mary went with them to Illinois."! Conflicting evidence states that she died in Shelby County, IL, abt. 1845. Mary (Anna Marie) Gross and Jacob Shultz Sr. had the following children:
Conflicting evidence states that Catherine was born in Tazewell, TN, February 7, 1794.
Second Generation2. David2 Shultz (Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in TN September 15, 1792. David died October 7, 1833 in TN, at 41 years of age. His body was interred in McMinn, TN. He married Olivia Lane in McMinn Co, TN, October 13, 1820. Olivia was born July 1798. Olivia was the daughter of Isaac Lane and Sarah Russell. Olivia died November 23, 1851 at 53 years of age. David Shultz and Olivia Lane had the following children:
5. George Benton2 Shultz Sr. (Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborn County, TN September 21, 1796. George died October 19, 1876 at 80 years of age. His body was interred in Claiborne Co, TN. He married Mary Ward in Claiborne Co, TN, November 14, 1819. Mary was born in Tennessee 1802. Mary died May 24, 1873 in Claiborne, TN, at 70 years of age. The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: In notes by G. B. Schultz in old paper among A. M. Clouds papers. "My son Martin Van Buren Schultz married Margaret Dunsmore, daughter of William Dunsmore of Irish descent -- a good liver and an honest and industrious family. On July 4, 1857 he divorced Margaret and in 1858 married a second wife Charity Martin of Hancock, County." "My son G. B. (b. 1852) married a Stone, daughter of I. H. Stone whose wife was a Harper. My son J. P. (Dr. married in State of Louisiana at Minden. I have never seen her. My grandson David (son of Martin V.) born in 1855 married Alice Hurst, daughter of Fanny and Isaac Hurst. My grandaughter, Sary Schultz, married Boston Scott. My Grandaughter Mary Chadwell (daughter of Emmeline Shultz) married ____, his mother a Rose. (faded ink defied name) My grandson Franklin Chadwell (also son of Emmeline, and born in 1844) married a Robinson, her mother was a Hurst, daughter of Mark Hurst. In a letter from Barthena Ritter, fram Madison County, Ill. February 11, 1868 to Hulda Schultz Cloud, she speaks of Uncle Dave Cottrell, Elick Chadwell, Jake Schultz, and of going to Arkansas. Also of money that "Mose Cottrell got from office "for them". We have not identified Barthena Ritter. In 1840 Census of Claiborne County, where children are not identified individually, it seems that George B. and Mary Schultz had at least six children, 2 boys and 4 girls. According to old letters from Willis boy, it indicates that one daughter married a Willis. One of Emmeline's sons identified as A. M. Chadwell, and called Eck. Probably named Alec and called Eck for short, got into trouble in Claiborne County, and had to leave. He visited his uncle Dr. J. P. Schultz in Minden, and also different relatives spoke, in letters of hearing from him, and asking that his mail be sent to fictitious addresses. Everyone in the family seemed to be very fond of him. 1850 Claiborne County, TN Census [P 106-482]: George Shultz 52, Mary 48, Martin V. 18, Jacob P. 16, Geo. B. 8, Mary Ward 6, and Manervy Dunn 19. 1860 Claiborne County, TN Census [P 184-339] George Shults 62, Mary 58, Benton 18, and Sarah 3. George Benton Shultz Sr. and Mary Ward had the following children:
The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: Letter from Dr. J. P. Shultz and Brother Minden, La. May 1st Brother T. B.: I got your letter a few days ago -- glad to know your are all well. I am just recovering from an attach of bronchitis and am nowhere able to go to work, if I had anything to do. My turn for work does not begin until June or July. I graduated at the University of La. in March. I will soon have no heavy expenses and shall try to accumulate something. I am in debt severa hundred dollars and can't collect. If our crops fail again this year, we will have but little money in the country. The cotton crop is our only resource -- when that fails, all fails. I think I will change locations, perhaps this does not suit me all thogether. This is a poor country "chilly and fevery" but I could make money if I could collect it. I am sorry that our parents have to work in their old I do hope to be able to relieve them before a great while. I am sorry that you named your boy after me, for I do think Jake is a D - - - of a name for anybody. Name him James, Thomas. Give my love to our parents and tell them I would like to see them very much. Tell sister E. that I forwarded her letter to Mr. Moon. I think when she sends letters for me to mail, it would be better to direct them to A. M. Chadwell for if he received letters under an assumed name, it might cast unnecessary suspicious upon him where he is and injure him. He is perfectly safe under his own name. There is no reward for him. He is not advertised. I write to him under is proper name. J. P. Shultz ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ New Orleans December 6, 1866 Brother T. B. Dear Sir: I have forgotten whether I have answered your last letter or not. It makes no difference if I have not, it is only on account of business. I wrote our parents a few days since, also to BFC (B. f. cloud) and sister A. E. Chadwell. Since that time, I have seen A. M. Chadwell and by my advice he has gone to Texas. Started on the 13th, and will go to Waco or thereabouts. I have furnished him with money and as much good advice as I could think of. I do not want him to stop in large cities. It is the worst thing a young man can do unless he has permanent employment and big wages. I advised him to go to Texas and go to work and be content with a small income, etc., etc. I had no means or chance to put him into business where I have been stopping, and if I had I do not know whether I would live there anymore. He need not have any money sent him from home -- throw him on his own resources -- if he canot make a living now he never will. I am sure the boy can make a good living -- he is out of the way of his enemies and will have notheing to do but to work. You can all address your letters to me in this city and I will forward them to him and when I leave in the Spring. I will make arrangements in which he can get his letters if it is necessary to conceal his whereabouts. I am expecting a letter from him from Galveston. He went across the gulf. Tell his mother not to be uneasy about him, he is all right. Advise him to be saving and industrious and to be contented in our place. I will remain here until April 1st, then perhaps I may visist you all in Tessnessee. I will live south. I do not know exactly when. Kindest regards to all. Yours, J. P. Shultz (Jacob P. Shultz)
6. Jacob2 Shultz Jr. (Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne Co, TN June 30, 1799. Jacob died August 16, 1863 in Springfield, Green County, MO, at 64 years of age. His body was interred in Maple Park Cemetery, Greene, MO. He married Lousiana Cloud in Claiborne Co, TN, October 8, 1835. They were married by Rev. Nathan Hobbs. Lousiana was born in Tazewell, Claiborne County, TN August 27, 1812. Lousiana was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Cloud Sr. and Mary (Pollie) Chadwell. Lousiana died April 17, 1884 in Springfield, Greene, MO, at 71 years of age. Her body was interred in Maple Park Cemetery, Greene, MO. Conflicting evidence states that Lousiana was born in Lee Co, VA, August 27, 1812. The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: To brother-in-law from Louisiana Cloud Schultz: Springfield, Missouri March 6, 1866 Mr. George Schultz: Dear Brother: I hasten to reply to your kind letter received a few days ago. I was glad to hear that you and family are well and trying to live again. Your letter found in bad health though it is improving. The children are well and Billie and Hugh are making preparations for farming. I think we can live again and take a rise. We have been making a new apple and peach orchard. We set out 400 apple trees and 120 peach trees. I have the finest apple orchard in the county. We put up 800 bushels of apples and have two cellars full, but all of that does not satisfy, as the head of our family is gone to return no more. Dear brother, you can't draw any idea the trouble I see, my farm was entirely destroyed, not a building on the place but one cabin. I hope that I can collect some of our debts so that I can make improvements. I wish you to assist Lawyer Rogan on collecting. I wish to you know that S. G. Barnard has all of Mr. Shultz's books and papers in his hand and also H. Evans notes amounting to upwards of $3.000. I wish collections made if possible, for I stand in need of money, as there were false accounts came against the estate and will have to be paid. You know that those large notes are good ones. You are aware of how the family splurged from our store. I think they should not hesitate to pay. I don't suppose his land will satisfy his debt. Bring Barnard to a settlement as soon as possible. His notes amount upwards of $4,000. Billie will make oath to what his father told him while in Texas that h had three notes on Barnard amounting to $2,000 each and one note of $900. I have been trying to recover those lost notes. It would be safest to not let Barnard know that his notes could not be produced until he could make some acknowledgement respecting the debt. The Hodges debt, you know perhaps how it stands. Mr. Schultz always kept his business out of my knowledge and I can't say what way to pursue, but I wish you to aid me in my unsettled business. Brother Frank thinks it is safest to file a bill in chancery and enjoin their land. I want the safest way to be pursued. We received a letter from Eck Chadwell a few days ago stating that he was in Memphis, Tenn. And that he had to leave home and did not wish his whereabouts known. He wished us to address a letter to Charles or James Coffin, 5 Adams St., Memphis. Also have received a letter from J. P. Shultz from New Orleans. He was there attending the lectures. He will make his home in Minden, La. He expected to leave New Orleans in a few days. (cannot make out the rest of the letter) Your sister, Louisiana Schultz ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Letter to Benj. F. Cloud and wife, Hulda Schultz Cloud at Tazewell, Tenn. Following Civil War. Springfield, Missouri December 28th Dear Brother: After a silence for several years, I now feel it is my duty to write you a few lines -- knowing that we have all shared the same fate as it respects our property, but the death of Mr. Schutlz is the greatest affliction that has ever befallen my family. We were all anxiously awaiting his return, knowing that he was a good hand to manage and arrange business, but to our sad misfortune, he only came home long enough for us to see him -- I have nothing left but the land, my timber was all destroyed, and all of my buildings burned, and all of my stock taken -- although I think we will make a raise again. I have my whole farm under fence and four hundred acres in cultivation. This year we have ten renters and have any quantity of corn and hay. I spoke of going to Tennessee this winter, but owing to Benj. F. not coming from Texas, I will have to postpone the trip until Spring. I want you to write to me immediately upon the reception of the letter and give me the particulars of the Countyry and see if the debts can be collected. You know, Mr. Schutlz has a great many unsettled debts and I stand in need of it all. Let me know the situation of Barnard, Evans, and Hodges and all others of interest. Dr. J. P. Schultz is in Minden, Louisiana practicing medicine. My son, D.A., is dead I expect, as we hear nothing from him. He was at Vicksbury at the surrender and came on to Little Rock, and no account more. Billie is at home and Hugh had been with me all the time. Let me know what has become of yours and Emmaline's sons. Your sister, Louisiana Schultz (signed) D. A. is son Alexander Benj. F. is her son who was living in Texas ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Letters to Mrs. Polly Shultz, wife of George Shultz from Louisiana Cloud Shultz (her sister-in-law). Springfield, Mo. October 30, 1872 My Dear Sister: For the first time, I will attempt to write you a few lines. I t is sometime since brother George has written and thinking perhaps he had forgotten to write. I would say that we are in common health at present and hope these few lines may find you enjoying the same blessing and we should count as one of the greatest blessings that can be bestowed on poor mortals. We are very busy getting away our crops, have just finished getting our apples in the collars. Have finished sowing 130 acres in wheat and are busy getting the corn, though corn I worth nothing - only to feed the hogs. We have 30 up fattening and it hardly pays to raise pork. I received a letter from Ben's wife, waying he would soon leave for Missouri and other places. I was very sorry to hear that Emmeline's health is so bad. I was in hopes that she could leave for Texas since her great anxiety is to go to her daughter, Mary, and family. I reckon you have another girl staying with you since sally married and left. You would not know any of my children, Lizzie and Billy. Hugh is fair and Sandy is dark complected and Mary is light with blue eyes. Lou has black hair and very dark blue eyes and you would not see any resemblence to the family. Mary is down in Arkansas on a visit and will be out to your country this winter with Benjamin. Lou is going to the city to school and is trying to graduate. She is taking music lessons. My children are all anxious to see you and their uncle George. My boys are so closely engaged on the farm that they can't find time to visit. They would not know how to farm in Tennessee. Our farm is one mile across and our turn rows are 1/2 mile long. You can plow all day without touching a rock. My boys are systematic farmers although their father was not much of a farmer. Well, Polly, I would like to see you, but it is a long and expensive trp and we are all very poor and I am getting old and my health is not good. I have been considerably afflicted for the last month with something like neuralgia. How is Benton and family getting along? Is Huldah better reconciled than when I was there? I suppose the country is improving some and your printing office in operation and says very little. I have been taking Ben's paper for several weeks but I don't find any interesting news in it Polly, you would like to hear something of Lizzie. She is one of the best you ever saw. She is a splendid cook and can do anything around the house. She has six children living. Her baby died this summer. She speaks often about visiting the place of her birth and childhood. She was four children going to school. Her oldest daughter is grown and very good looking. Well, you are tired of so much stuff. I will close by asking you to answer soon. My love to all of the cousins and a liberal share for yourself and George. I remain, your affectionate sister, Louisiana Shultz Conflicting evidence states that he died in Greene, MO, 1865. Conflicting evidence states that he died in Springfield, MO, March 27, 1885. The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: Jacob Schultz was a merchant for many years in Claiborne County. He moved his family to Springfield, Green County, Missouri where he had estabished a fine large farm at the beginning of the Civil War. When the call to arms sounded, he followed the Confederates to Texas where provisional headquarters were set up. His wife and children, with the exception of Alexander and Benjamin F. were left to care for the farm. When the northern armies swept through Missouri, they set fire to everything but one cabin, chased off the Negro slaves, and confiscated all of the livestock. In the last part of the War, Jacob returned home, driven there by a friend in a wagon, and so ill that he died within two days and was buried before his two boys, Hugh and William, could see him. Both boys were in Sedelia on business. Benjamin F. Schultz remained in Texas after the war, but eventually returned to Springfield to help his mother re-stock her farm. Alexander was lost in the War and never heard from again. The life of Louisiana Schultz, this gallent woman, unused to hard labor and vicissitudes of frontier life, is well illustrated in her letters written during the War. She died in Springfield, Missouri and is buried in Maple Hill Cemetery there. Louisiana was the granddaughter of David and Elizabeth Ann (Turner) Chadwell. Apparently Louisiana's parents had lived in Claiborne Co, TN and moved back across the state line into adjoining Lee Co, VA BEFORE she and Jacob were married. If Jacob's birthdate is anywhere near correct this was a very 'late in life' marriage for him! Louisiana had a brother, Benjamin Franklin Cloud who married Jacob's niece Hulda, daughter of George & Mary (Ward) Shultz. 1850 Claiborne County, TN Census [P102-481]: Jacob Shultz 50, Louisanna 37, Elizabeth C. 12, Alexander 10, Benj. F. 8, Wm. M. 6, Hn. G. 4, Josiah Wyatt 26, and Mary A. Shultz 6/12. Jacob Shultz Jr. and Lousiana Cloud had the following children:
" ... David and Elizabeth Shackleford Norfleet ... emigrated to Polk county, Missouri in 1838. William S. Norfleet then came to Springfield in 1844 and studied medicine under his uncle, Dr. Gabriel Shackleford. He suffered greatly during the War and was kept a prisoner for a week in the Springfield Courthouse ... William was a mason and a member of the ME Church. The History of Green County spoke of him "Mr. Norfleet is one of the Springfield's most affluent citizens and a thorough gentlemen." His father died in Texas in 1868 and his mother died at Ebenezer Campground in 1862 at the age of 45. William was the eldest of four sons and he and Elizabeth had seven children. Five of them lived, three sons and two daughters. We have not been able to trace any of the Norfleet children."
Although she moved to Missouri with her parents as a child, grew up there, and married there, she apparently returned to live in Claiborne County later in her life. For years she kept a family record in a small notebook. Myrtle Braun (who later did "Chadwell Heritage") copied the contents of her book and in 1962 passed them in a letter to Miss Ruby Catoe of Houston, TX, an eminent Sevier County historian and genealogist. That letter referred to Mary as the "...little old Schultz lady in Claiborne County, Tennessee...." who ..."kept a record in a little paper backed book...."! Mary's notebook identified Dr. Martin Schultz from York Co, Pennsylvania as the father of Jacob of Claiborne County (as well as the father of Valentine, John R, David, Julia, and Martin Jr). Miss Catoe gave a copy of that letter to Earl K. Schultz who reproduced it in his book, "An Early American Family" in the early 1970's. Unfortunately the information that was in her record, and in the letter, regarding Dr. Martin Shults and his descendants was ignored for another ten years or more.

10. Martin2 Shultz (Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born 1808. He married Nila (Nina) Hayes. Nila was born 1810. Nila died 1845 in Buchanan, MO, at 35 years of age. Her body was interred in Buchanan Co, MO. Martin had moved from Claiborne Co, TN to Buchanan Co, MO prior to 1840 census. Martin Shultz and Nila (Nina) Hayes had the following children:
11. Joab2 Shultz (Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in TN 1810. He married twice. He married Hattie Miller ABT. 1831. Hattie was born 1810. Hattie died ABT. 1844 in Buchanan Co, MO. He married Sarah (Unknown) Shultz. Sarah was born in TN 1819. Joab had moved from Cliborne Co, TN to Buchanan Co, MO prior to 1850 census. Joab Shultz and Hattie Miller had the following children:
Joab Shultz and Sarah (Unknown) Shultz had the following children:
12. Sarah Ann2 Shultz (Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in TN 1812. Sarah died October 29, 1870 in Shelby Co, IL, at 58 years of age. She married John Neil in Tennessee, about 1831. John was born in Claiborne Co, TN December 19, 1811. John was the son of Peter Neil Jr. and Seleta Mccubbin. John died May 1878 in Shelby Co, IL, at 66 years of age. Conflicting evidence states that Sarah was born in Claiborne Co, TN, December 1, 1816. Sarah Ann Shultz and John Neil had the following children:
Third Generation14. Humphrey Lane3 Shultz (David2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in McMinn Co, TN August 9, 1822. Humphrey died January 28, 1900 at 77 years of age. His body was interred in Niota Cemetery, McMinn County, TN. He married Isabella Terry December 20, 1849. Isabella was born in McMinn Co, TN September 15, 1829. Isabella died December 23, 1905 at 76 years of age. Her body was interred in Niota Cemetery, McMinn County, TN. He's listed among the early settlers of Mouse Creek (present Niota) in McMinn County, TN. She was the daughter of William Terry. Humphrey Lane Shultz and Isabella Terry had the following children:
22. Martha Emaline3 Shultz (George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born March 24, 1824. Martha died August 24, 1873 at 49 years of age. She married Andrew Jackson Chadwell 1841. Andrew was born in Virginia 1818. According to "Chadwell Heritage," Jack Chadwell was reared as the son of David Chadwell, Sr. He came from Lee County and settled on Walden's Ridge, two miles north of Tazewell, TN. Martha Emaline Shultz and Andrew Jackson Chadwell had the following children:
23. Amanda3 Shultz (George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born September 30, 1826. Amanda died June 20, 1853 at 26 years of age. She married James Willis November 29, 1840. Don Reagan identifies this daughter as Amanda in "Smoky Mountain Clans Vol 2", also names the unknown WILLIS as her husband. Phillips and Braun, in their book "Chadwell Heritage" do not mention this daughter by name although they do reproduce two letters from a 'W.H. Willis', a grandson, to George B. Shults. The name 'James' was provided by the research of Roy Marvin Shultz and his relatives, of Greenville, TX and by Claiborne County, TN marriage records. P.G. Fulkerson, in his "Early Settlers of Claiborne County" identifies James as the son of William "Buck" Willis, who "... came to Sycamore prior to 1835." but, Mr. Fulkerson also says James married a 'Mary' Shultz! Amanda Shultz and James Willis had the following child:
24. Elizabeth Mahulda (Hulda)3 Shultz (George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne Co, TN November 4, 1828. She married Benjamin Franklin Cloud Jr. in Claiborne Co, TN, December 29, 1845. Benjamin was born in Hawkins County, TN November 8, 1802. Benjamin was the son of Benjamin Franklin Cloud Sr. and Mary (Pollie) Chadwell. Benjamin died October 31, 1880 in Claiborne Co, TN, at 77 years of age. Conflicting evidence states that he died in Tazewell, Claiborne County, TN, 1881. 1850 Claiborne County, TN Census [P468-539] B. F. Cloud 46, Elizabeth M. 21, Alexander 3, and Benj. F. 1. The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: Letter from Mary E. Smith to Aunt Hulda Shultz Cloud Harlon County New Middleton July 23, 1866 Dear Aunt Hulda: Nine long years have been numbered with the eternal (past?) and we have parted and few indeed are the words we have spoken to each other all this lapse of time. No one could believe that we would become such perfect strangers, but such is human nature. Your years of blood and carnage of suffering and woe have flown and left us with grief in our bosons -- that eternity can only efface. The bones of our beloved and honored dead bleach on a thousand hills. We are oppressed and downtrodden and what have we gained? Cold blooded murders have been and are still present, but I am thankful to have escaped with my life. All are in good health except Ad who has been sick for some time. She is at Red Springs. She has five children. Martha has two children, Alexander and Carrick, the last I named after my pet. Zed (or Jed) is living in Texas and she will visit in this fall. Ad, Cloud, and Martha all live in New Middleton. Cloud's wife has been dead over a year. John R. Moore was shot down in his home by some robbers. Our negroes are all gone except Nance and child. Aunt Sally and her boys have bought some land and are living on it. She has requested me to write you a thousand times. About Cath and children, when you write tell me all about them so I can tell her. What has become of Lizzie? Do you remember her prophetic words about negro freedom. I have thought of it often. Is Sarah Jones still living? Where is Dan? Let me hear from T. P. Shultz. Are you and Said as good friends as ever or did the war divide you? Is Mary Chadwell married? My love to Aunt Emmeline. I guess Mary Cloud is nearly grown. What has become of Eck and Carrack. I have a fine album and would be so glad to have it adorned with your photographs. Tell uncle that I think he might visit Mother once more. Mother's health is good. Pappa has made a good hand in his hay this summer. Worked more than he has in 20 years. He is a s young and spry as ever. All the family join me in sending love to all. All my love to uncle and his cousins. Your niece, Mary E. Smith P.S. Guess you have heard of Aunt's great misfortune, uncle's death. We are expecting Mary Schultz every day to come and attend Middleton Academy. She will remain three years. I have a thousand thing to tell you when I see you. Mary Elizabeth Mahulda (Hulda) Shultz and Benjamin Franklin Cloud Jr. had the following children:
25. Martin Van Buren3 Shultz (George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne County, TN January 21, 1832. Martin died March 5, 1864 in Claiborne County, TN, at 32 years of age. He married twice. He married Margaret V. Dunsmore in Claiborne Co, TN, November 13, 1850. Margaret was born 1835. Margaret was the daughter of William Dunsmore and Mary "Mossy" Crutchfield. He married Charity Martin in TN, November 1858. Charity was born in TN 1841. His father George apparently thought very highly of Martha and her parents. He wrote in his memoirs that Martha was the "...daughter of William Dunsmore of Irish descent--- a good liver and an honest and industrious family...". However Martin divorced Martha and apparently got custody of all the children! Margaret had another child, Samuel J. Shultz, AFTER her divorce from Martin, and later married* Frank Morgan. I think it very LIKELY that the child 'Sarah L. Shults' listed in the census records with George, and whom George identifies as his granddaughter who married Boston Scott, is Martin and Martha's child, born around the time of their divorce and given to George to raise. Charity Martin was from Hancock Co, TN. Martin joined the Confederate Army in 1862 and was a Private in Co I, 2nd (possibly 3rd) Tenn Cavalry. He was captured near Shelbyville, TN on 7 Oct 1863 in the Battle of Simms Farm. He was taken first to Nashville, TN, then transferred to Camp Morton, a prisoner-of-war camp at Indianapolis, Indiana. He died there of illness on 5 Mar 1864, one of more than 1,600 Confederate soldiers and sailors who died in the camp. There's a monument in a park in Indianapolis with a bronze plaque listing the names of those who died in the camp. * I can't find a marriage record for Margaret and Frank Morgan. I do find a "Maggie Dunsmore" married Lewis ROSE, 18 Aug 1895 in Union Co, TN. Doubtful that it's her. 1860 Claiborne County, TN Census [P131-313] Martin V.

30. George Benton3 Shultz Jr. (George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne County, TN November 25, 1841. He married Mary J. Stone January 29, 1866. Mary was born in Claiborne Co, TN July 23, 1842. Mary was the daughter of Thomas Henderson Stone and Mary Harper. George Benton Shultz Jr. and Mary J. Stone had the following children:
34. Benjamin Franklin3 Shultz (Jacob2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Tazewell, Claiborne County, TN February 12, 1842. Benjamin died 1915 at 73 years of age. He married Eliza Jane Johnson in Claiborne Co, TN, April 30, 1872. Eliza was born in Tennessee ABT. 1853. Eliza was the daughter of Thomas J. Johnson Col. and Eliza Jane Graham. Franklin Shults of Cape Girardeau County, MO purchased 40 acres of land in Section 11 of T33N-R12E on April 14, 1859. (Is this Benjamin Franklin Shults?) The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: Benjamin Franklin Schultz ..., the son of Jacob and Louisiana (Cloud) Schultz; of German and Scotch-Irish origin, the former born in this county in 1799 and deceased in Greene County, Missouri in 1865 and the latter in Lee County, Virginia in 1812 and deceased in Greene County in 1884. They lived in Claiborne County until 1858, when they removed to near Springfield, Missouri and engaged in agricultural pursuits with success until the breaking out of hostilities between the sections, when they retired South with their family. Jacob Schultz Sr., the grandfather, came from Germany before the Revolution with his parents and settled in Virginia, and then was among the first settlers of Claiborne County, whilst the red man still occupied the country. Our subject, the third of seven children, grew up in Claiborne County, assisting his father's store and labored on the farm until the first call to arms, when at the age of nineteen, he entered Capt. Campbell's Company of Missouri State Guards, commanded by General Sterling Price on June 1, 1861, taking part in the battle of Oak Hills and many other engagements in the state service until the army fell back from behind the Osage to Neosho, where the Legislature assembled, and on the 28th day of Oct. 1862, the state severed its connection with the Federal Union. After this the Missouri troops were mustered into the regular Confederate service and he became a member of Campany (A) Third Missouri Cavalry, commanded by Col. Calton Green of Marmaduke's division, operating and taking part in the state of MO, KS, AR, LA, and the Indian Territory, and taking part in the battles of Pea Ridge, Helena, Little Rock, and Jenkin's Ferry. He was wounded in one of the battles, suffering the loss of an eye. He accompanied General Price on his great raid through Missouri and Kansas in the fall of 1864, and then returned with the army through Indian Territory. He accompanied General Price to Louisiana where he remained until the last organization of the Confederate Army of the Trans-Mississippi Department had surrendered. He then went to Navarro County, TX and engaged in the carrying trade between Millican and Dallas for about two years to it's repair, it's having been ruined by the lawless Kansas robbers under Jim Lane. In 1868, he returned to Tazewell, and for about four years sold goods for S.C. & J. and then for thirteen years following, he was a partner with J.W. Devine in the mercantile business, until 1885 when J.W. Devine withdrew from the firm. On April 30, 1872, he married to Eliza J. Johnson, daughter of Col. Thomas J. Johnson & Eliza J. Johnson (nee Graham) the latter born in County Tyrone, Ireland with her ancestors fled from Scotland on account of their complicity I some of the rebellions, in which their property was taken by the crown. Of three sons and two daughers, the eldest daughter is deceased. Our subject is a Democrat and he and his wife are Presbyterians. He was a Postmaster and Cumberland Gap in 1894.* (*From old copy of Tennessee History published in Claiborne County, Tennessee.) Benjamin F. Schultz was a man of great intelligence and sensitivity, and it would be a disservice to publish a book without including some of his writings taken from his diary of 1871, written while he was living in Tazewell. He had a tremendous grasp of international affairs, and he prophesied trouble and perhaps war with Russia in his writing of January 7, 1871 as follows: "1 a.m., mail came in from Cumberland Gap. Stage turned over down Coumberland Mountain, but no one hurt. I arose at 5 a.m. thinking it day, the moon shining so brightly. Morning clear-- cloudy by noon -- looking very much like snow. Reports from the seat of Mar are bad. The attitude of Russia toward Turkey is threatening. It may be, however, that if the present Great Briton and -- stand firm, the Northern Bear may be convinced that the hour to strike is not yet. But the Bear will make the attempt sooner or later, and he is only biding his time. Strong as is Russia's intention to seize Constantinople, the key to the Orient, as the next stop is continental dominion, just as strong is England's that he shall not possess this key to the East and her possessions in India. Betwixt these two great powers, Russia and England whose power girdles the world, whose fleets phough every sea and whose drum-beats heralds the dawn through the entire circuit of the sun, there is yet to be a conflict in which will be involved the whole of Europe and possibly America. This will be such a war as the world has ever seen, and one that must pale the terrors of the Franco-Prussian War, and the great struggles of past battles fade into insignificance. The result of this great war, no mortal can have the least conception." His quick mind could change and describe the beauties of nature in the mountains around Tazewell as well as write of internation affairs. On another page of his diary, he writes: "Mr. Word bringing out his telescope or field glass, we took an enlarged view of the country making everything look fearfully near, bringing the hills and mountains almost within our grasp. Then reversing the instrument, the whole face of nature was changed into a distant scenery, not at all like seen before the natural eye, but more like that of a finely executed oil painting of some distant scenery -- the mountains looming up in the background marking the horizon with a long blue undulating lines above and beyond which .. light fleecy cloud of an auriferous dye. The whole landscape seemed as though it was painted on canvas, making the most strikingly beautiful picture that I have ever seen. After feasting my eyes on the beauties of assisted nature, I, in company with Millard Parker, went to "grave-yard hill", where we could get a more extended view. Looking in a north easterly direction, we beheld the most beautiful landscape ever witnessed by a mortal. Th the right of our picture rose majestically, Walden's Ridge, and stretching but as far as the eye could reach; marked with farms extending half way up it sides and over and above, could be seen the crest of Powell's Mountain, running parallel to the former and finally disappearing as behind the earth's curvature. Directly in our front, lay a broken country of hills and vallies, farms and forests alternately. Nere were to be see dark groves of cedar, and whose brown fields of sage grass. On our left, we could trace the cold black wall of that mighty barrier, the Alps of America, the Cumberland mountains. Nere we could see crag piled on crag, and mountain on mountain interminable, but dimly marked through the smoky atmosphere between. Nere we stood upon, and at out feet were the relics of war, the old Fort -- and here the ruined and dilapidated graves of Tazewell's best citizens who were not left alone in their peace of death -- not only were the cities and habitations of the living laid in ruins and plundered, but the quiet cities of the dead, too were plumderend and ruined by the vile and mercenary hordes of the North. They not only made war upon the living, but carried in into the pale realms of the dead. Then looking down at old Tazwell, we could plainly mark the mutations of time and the ravages of War -- we could only remark what changes Tazewell has undergone since several years ago. Her finest citizens, her best dwellings, buildings and churches, altars and the graves of loved ones are gone forever. The sun began to sink slowly behind the Western hills when we left, and soon darkness came moving on in her dusky cape and leaving to me only the gloomy shades of night which wrap all nature in her sable folds. The stars shone brightly from the vaults of heaven where not a cloud was left to obscure the mirror of God. So passed away the day, the holy sabbath day -- this day never to return." His great sadness, perhaps stemmed from the plundering by Northern soldiers, of his parents many acres and large home in Missouri. His mother Louisiana, widowed by the war was left alone, with four children to rear, and her farm in total ruin. On B... Hill where David Chadwell lies buried among his slaves, the headstones were overturned by northern soldiers occupying hill, during the Civil War, and broken into pieces, so there is no way to mark the grave of the Revolutionary patriot and ancestor (MWB) Random Excerpts from Diary of Benjamin F. Schultz during 1871-1872 While employed at Tazewell at Postoffice. Saturday, September 9 On this day in 1863, I witnessed the fall of Little Rock, Arkansas in the early morning, heavy cannonading was heard several miles down the river at which point, a detachment of the Federal Cavalry had made an attempt to cross and had suceeded in throwing a pontoon bridge across, and landing a bridge of cavalry, composed of the Tenth Illinois Cavalry, with whom we had previously had several engagements -- at one time capturing the whole Regiment at Fort Stephens, and several other regiments, after forming on the beach made a charge on our brigade, who had just arrived at the scene, and hastily formed in the woods some three hundred yards from the landing. When we opened a heavy fire upon the advancing column, or line causing them to fall back in disorder to the waters edge, and some recrossing the river, capturing two fine mountain horizons and preventing any other body of troops crossing or reinforcing those that were already on the South side, until nearly noon, when learning that a heavy force had crossed farther below and was attempting to cut us off from the main army now in full retreat from the City and fortifications of the north, on the road to Benton, our little command then rapidly fell back under a heavy fire of artillery placed on the opposite bank, just one mile below the city. My ordinance wagons were still on the North side of them and were among the last to cross, and just in time to save ourselves witnessing the burning of all the government buildings and factories, and machine shops of the C.S.A., plus the stem boats at the wharf, several gun boats, and a great general conflagration of government property. Just after crossing and cutting our pontoons loose, the whole Federal Army made its appearance on the opposite side and lay there as if doubting the evacuation of the place. Our army too, lay in sight of the enemy until our huge train could get its sluggard coil untolled upon the road, which was evening when our army began slowly to move out. The cavalry under General Marmaduke was given to cover our retreat. At sunset, we had only reached an old camp that we had previously occupied, where we remained an hour or so and then followed in retreat, traveling all night but making very slow progress on account of the trains ahead, which were of huge progortions. We had only made a few miles when morning came. Generals St._____ and P ______ were in command of the Federal armies, and General Price commanding the Confederates. Gen. ______ being sick andunable for duty. So ended this day of defeat. Sunday, September 10 Morning clear and bright. Breakfast being over, I prepared for Sunday School, where we had quite a controversy on "the temptation of Christ by the devil" in which I contended that Christ was not tempted by the devil, but only an attempt was made by the devil to tempt Christ. After Sunday School we had preaching by Walker, on the subject of "election", which he was advised last Sunday by Clarke not to preach saying it would make harm; but after the sermon, I could not see the harm it would or could make. I did notice that there were no fights on the street, as was said to be the case. Preaching over, we went to Mr. Clouds for dinner, remaining until evening and sat in conversation of the platform until supper time, when in company of Boss Scott (Boston Scott) to Walters and took supper. We then returned to the store, where we heard chrch bells rung for prayer meeting, but I did not go. The remarks of my War narrativer were intended for today the 10 of September, but I mistook the date thinking yesterday was the 10th. Night again clear and beautiful. (Benjamin F. Schultz was rather unorthodox in religious beliefs, of that time, although they would not seem so unusual in this year of 1970 - MWB) Tuesday, September 26 Morning cool and cloudy since the rain last night, but after the early morning it became clear and remained so all day though cool. At 9 p.m. we had prayer meeting where we had some feelings of religion "manifested". Prayer meeting again at night where a good many went up to the anxious seat. A sermon was preached by Carlon, about the wind up of which I left and went to the store, where I had a good fire and where shortly Jno. Wood came in, and we had a discussion of the excitement going on at the church, which we both pronounced wrong. I cannot believe in religion, gotten during such excitement or through the heat of passion, aroused by such a train of superstitious exhortations. I cannot really call them exhortations, for I see more harm and folly in them than good. I do not doubt their moral teachings but then they are leading the young and weak minded astray and into a wrong belief. Heartfelt or monomaniacal religion (if there is such a thing, and I believe there is such a thing as the distraction of the mind on this or that subject). I think that it ought to be felt under circumstances far different, while the mind is cool, calm and seasoned for deep and searching thought; when it is entirely unbiased by frightful stories, death bed scenes of loved ones; horrors of hell and everything of a nature calculated to irritate the tender and weak-minded of the young and superstitious. If this is the true mode of the administration of Gods pardon to man, oh that I may be led to such a belief -- but I cannot yet believe in such a doctrine. September 16, 1871 Morning densely cloudy pretending rain and very warm. Last night after going to bed, I heard a commotion and a loud noise down the street which I learned this morning to have been a grand riot and fight at the hotel. A fellow named Miller from Lee County, Virginia came in town after a rain thoroughly drenched and after taking a few drams of the "over-joyful", got into a row with Lewis Fawbush, winding up in a general (Can't read the rest of entry) Tuesday, Oct. 3rd, 1871 On my road to supper I was accosted by several ladies who wanted to know why I did not (practice?) religion and join the Church, and were very curious to know my faith and doctrine. All of which was told then in a "nutshell", belief in the existence of a God -- and of Jesus Christ, that he was our mediator, and died on the cross for the sins of the world, and arose from the dead, all of which I believe from Genesis to Revelation; then re in a spirit of contrition, asking god thru Jesus Christ to ofrgive and pardon wrongs committed to the fullest amount, doing unto others as I would have them do unto me; strict to the Ten Commandments, living an upright and moral life, so far as possible; and then asking God's forgiveness of sins afterwards and during our ... lives, as none of us are infallible. Good for evil, mercy toward our enemies, sympathy with the weak, charity to the poor -- when this is done, my conscience tells me that the "Great I am", has listened to my prayers and has pardoned me, as he has promised in his immutable word, "seek and ye shall find", ask and ye shall receive, knock and it will be opened unto you. What more can we do. And this is it. They seemed to think it strange, this doctrine, but they could not understand it or any part of it, although I had already gotten it added to my faith and without preaching. This is the pure religion of nature and nature's God; the first and the last, and only religion that is worth one cent. Faith without will never remove mountains. There is no excellence without great labour, no heaven for those that do not commandments. "By the sweat of your brow shall ye eat." With this I left my probably bewildered who seemed to think this was right, but had never before thought on the subject, and had been taught another belief. (This deep philosophical decision by a man still in his twenties! - mwb) Tuesday, November 7 Morning a little cloudy, boding rain, but after the sun had gotten fairly up it became very bright and beautiful. I came over from Mr. Clouds very early and wrote some, after which Mrs. Cloud and Miss Angie Smith came over and with whom I went to the gallery and who had some pictures taken. Afternoon, I again went in company with Miss Mary Ann Johnson and had ours taken together. Several other young ladies soon went up for the same purpose. Evening I went down to Mrs. Grahams where I had been invited, remaining until after supper and sat for an hour or more in conversation. When I arrived at the store, I wrote several compositions, among which was an introductory love letter for J. G. Chadwick. Night dark and clear. Bob Robinson Great grandson of Schultz, Mascot Tenn. Contributed a small item written by his Aunt Kate Aiken in which she said, "One time when I was visiting Brother Sterling in the old Schultz house, I made some remark, and Mr. Schultz said "Kate, let me quote you a verse: "God forbid that I should grow so fond, To trust man on his work or bond, The dog that lieth sleeping, The harlot that is weeping, The keeper of my freedom Or my friends if I should need them. By Benjamin F. Schultz, one of the smartest old gentlemen I ever knew." Page from Benjamin F. Schultz's Diary describing a site in the mountains near Tazewell, that he thought might have been remnants of an ancient city, which should be interesting to a modern day geologist. January 18, Wednesday (1870 or 1871) Early morning cloudy, but at sunrise, it became perfectly clear and the day turned out to be one of remarkable lovliness being warm and pleasant. After having finished the survey which took us until 2 p.m., we returned to Mark Hursts, where dinner was awaiting us and which we downed with the relish of a labourer. On the road, we came to a place where the path led across a hill that was beautifully paved as the streets of any city -- the stones being of various sizes, from a foot square to a huge slab all nicely fit and arranged as though they had been placed there by human hands. I have no doubt they were placed there by a people many ages ago, probably before the ____. This may have been the paved streets of some ancient city, or it resembles more a mammoth wharf, lying in the position of a wharf, being a right inclined plan without the least curvature or undulation in its smooth and unbroken surface of about 200 yards, from the foot to the apex or crest. A great portion of the surface of this giant causeway is entirely bare while other parts are covered with a thin coating that has washed down from the top and lodged in the crevices of the rocks. Here and there are a few sickly cedars, which have pierced their roots into the joints of this closely fitted masonry, or crept like wall ivy along this vast mass, only covered by a mere handful of earth and leaves. This piece of architecture, lies along the face of the hill, at an angle of about 40 degrees, and facing the morning sun. Could it be possible that this huge mass of masonry, is the side of a pyramid of no less magnitude than that bearing the name of ____, or was this a place of worship, the heathen altar of superstition. Could this have been the sacred place of the promulgation of the revelation of the "____", whether this has been the work of the superstitious and adolatrous aborigines,or anti ___, or whether the formation by nature or nature's God, no mortal can tell. But truly it is a wondrous and mysterious structure, and one that would admit of an examination into its geology and the period of its formation. How wonderful are the works of man, and how much more these of God. Late evening I returned to town. FRANK JAMES VISITS BENJAMIN SCHULTZ AT TAZEWELL IN 1875 An interesting sidelight on the life of Benjamin Schultz was his friendship with Frank James, the notorious Missouri outlaw, and brother of Jesse James. Benjamin and Frank served under General Price in the confederate Army, both drove ordinance wagons in some battles. Before that Frank James had ridden with Quatrell's men. It would have been a strange friendship, on the surface -- Benjamin Schultz being an honorabel and high principled man, of unusual intelligence, but, on looking deeper in the family history, we find that they were bound by family ties as well as friendship. The parents of Jesse and Frank James were known to have been highly respectable people -- Mrs. James being from a good Kentucky family, the Shacklefords. Dr. Gabriel Shackleford came down from Kentucky and married Benjamin Schultz' aunt, Nancy M. Cloud in Tazewell, Tennessee. Dr. Shackleford was an esteemed physician and citizen of Tazewell until his wife's death and he went to Missouri. Nancy Cloud's sister married a Norfleet, whose family also married into the Shackleford family. But a close family tie was Benjamin's sister's marriage to W. S. Norfleet in Springfield, Missouri. W.S. Norfleet was a son of David Norfleet and Elizabeth Shackleford. That Benjamin and Frank James' friendship survived the War is revealed in Dr. Robert L. Kincaid's book, "The Wilderness Road." In a chapter describing a hanging in Tazewell on August 23, 1875, Kincaid writes that there was a crowd of people gathered to see the hanging of a convicted murderer, estimated to be between five and six thousand people -- men and women and children. Kincaid opines that if the people had known it, their attention to a well built, bronzed, man with steel gray eyes would have vied with the interest of seeing a man hanged. For that man in the crowd was Frank James who had accidentally fallen in with a company of riders, and with his companion, George Shepard, had arrived in Tazewell to visit his old companion of the Confederate Army, Benjamin Schultz. The steely eyed James had given a native a five dollar gold piece to find him a good seat. In 1893 when Frank James was a member of the St. Louis Police Force, he went to Nashville to seek information about the death of his old chieftain, William Clarke Quantrill, who was killed in Kentucky during the close of the Civil War. At that time he told Nashville friends that it was a quiet interim in the careers of him and his brother Jesse, that took him to Tazewell. It was easy for a man to hide himself in the wild Kentucky hills where men still lived much as they wished. Information from Daily Press and Knoxville Herald August 15, 1875. Also Knoxville Messenger, August 18, 1875. Also interviews with eye witnesses. Eliza's father, Thomas Johnson, came to Claiborne County from Mobile, Alabama about 1840 and married Eliza J. Graham, whose father, Dr. Andrew Graham, had been a surgeon in the British Navy. Thomas Johnson was later in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Eliza's sister, Mary, married Alexander Cloud. Benjamin Franklin Shultz and Eliza Jane Johnson had the following children:
35. William M.3 Shultz (Jacob2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne County, TN July 12, 1845. William died January 14, 1933 at 87 years of age. His body was interred in Maple Park Cemetery, Greene County, MO. He married Louisa E. Payne in Greene County, MO, June 4, 1881. Louisa was born in Greene Co, MO 1851. Louisa was the daughter of Jacob Payne. Louisa died April 20, 1897 at 45 years of age. Her body was interred in Maple Park Cemetery, Greene County, MO. The following was taken from "Chadwell Heritage: a family history" by Mary Wolfinbarger Braun and Sharon Chadwell Phillips: "William Schultz moved to Missouri with his parents in 1858. In Feb. 1863, he enlisted in the Confederate Army, joining Capt. Brown's Company and Marmeduke's Division. Subsequent to this, he was on Gen. Polignac's escort and still later was transferred to Waller's Texas Regiment. Returning to his Green County farm, he was a stock raiser and farmer and owned two hundred acres of fine land ... From a history of Green County, Missouri 1883, "Mr. Schultz is one of the steady substantial men of the county and does well his part in life as a farmer."

Mary was born in Claiborne Co, TN April 24, 1855. Mary was the daughter of Thomas J. Johnson Col. and Eliza Jane Graham. Mary died January 6, 1911 at 55 years of age. Alexander Moore Cloud and Mary Ann Johnson had the following children:
80. William Frank4 Shultz (Martin Van Buren3, George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne County, TN September 23, 1851. William died June 18, 1920 at 68 years of age. He married Amanda Breeding July 31, 1881. He's probably "William FRANKLIN" and was probably the Franklin, age 18, who appears in the 1870 census with his grandfather, George. In the 1880 census of Denton Co, TX Frank was counted in the household of Albert Prior, 52, and his wife, Mollie, 42. Albert's occupation was 'sawyer' and Frank was a carpenter. Frank didn't marry Amanda until the following year, when he was almost 30 years old. William Frank Shultz and Amanda Breeding had the following children:
81. George C.4 Shultz (Martin Van Buren3, George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne County, TN February 23, 1853. George died June 21, 1934 in Mitchell County, TX, at 81 years of age. He married Mary E. Pulis in Comanche County, TX, October 1879. Mary was born in MO October 1852. George came to Texas about 1878. After his marriage he and Mary apparently lived in Comanche County for a time, but then moved on to Roby, Fisher Co, TX sometime between 1880 and 1900. The children and their birthdates shown here are from the 1900 census of Fisher County. George's death certificate lists Mitchell, Fisher Co, TX as his place of death. George C. Shultz and Mary E. Pulis had the following children:
82. David Martin4 Shultz (Martin Van Buren3, George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Tazewell, Claiborne County, TN February 20, 1855. David died February 4, 1945 in Thalia, TX, at 89 years of age. He married Alice Caroline Hurst. Alice was born in Claiborne County, TN 1859. Alice was the daughter of Isaac Hurst and Fanny B. Stone. Alice died January 17, 1944 in Thalia, TX, at 84 years of age. She and David left Claiborne County and moved to Texas around 1876, between the births of their first and second children. They appear in the 1880 census of Denton County, TX. She was the daughter of Isaac and Fanny Hurst. David Martin Shultz and Alice Caroline Hurst had the following children:
83. Sarah Louise4 Shults (Martin Van Buren3 Shultz, George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born in Claiborne County, TN November 11, 1856. Sarah died July 9, 1918 in Jefferson County, OK, at 61 years of age. She married Boston Scott in Claiborne Co, TN, July 23, 1872. Boston was born in Tazewell County, VA June 6, 1847. Boston was the son of Albert J. Scott and Eleanor "Ellen" Steel. Boston died October 6, 1935 in Jefferson County, OK, at 88 years of age. This Sarah is almost certainly a GRANDCHILD of George, but whose CHILD?? In his 'letters' George speaks of a grand-daughter, 'Sary L. Shultz', who married Boston Scott. But none of his sons had a Sarah, UNLESS - she were Martin's child, born just at the time of his divorce from Margaret Dunsmore and given to George to raise. She was living with her grandfather, George, in the 1860 Claiborne Co census, was probably raised by him after her parents divorce. Boston was counted with his parents in Claiborne Co in the 1870 census (they don't appear there in the 1860 census!) and his occupation was listed as 'blacksmith'. He was a Confederate veteran of the Civil War, enlisting in Tazewell Co, Va on 1 Jun 1864 and serving in Companies I and H of the 22 Regiment of Virginia Cavalry (wonder if he came south into Claiborne Co, TN during the war and met Sarah then??? (jrs)). Sarah and Boston moved to Texas about 1876. They were in Denton County in the 1880 census and were in Montague County in the 1900 census. Sarah Louise Shults and Boston Scott had the following children:
84. Samuel J.4 Shultz (Martin Van Buren3, George Benton2, Mary (Anna Marie)1 Gross) was born September 6, 1858. Samuel died October 19, 1914 at 56 years of age. He married Lurana R. (Mary?) McBee in Union County, TN, December 4, 1877. Lurana was born in TN February 1859. Lurana was the daughter of William C. McBee and Permela Greer. He was born AFTER the divorce of his parents and while he was given the SHULTZ name PROBABLY wasn't Martin's son. He was counted with his mother in the 1860 census, NOT with Martin and the other children. In 1880 he was in Union Co, TN, later moved on to Arkansas, eventually to Oklahoma.

The following was taken from John Vermeer's (vermeer@bigfoot.com) website at http://lightning.prohosting.com/~vermeer/genealogy /JustAbitOfFamilyHistory.html "JUST A BIT OF FAMILY HISTORY" Written by our sweet little Mother. S. Lizzie Donnel during the last two years or so of her life. My Dear Children: Your father and I, with our three small children, came to the Pacific coast in January 1890. All of the others were born here, and none of you have ever known your relatives, so I have decided to write some remembrances I have of them, and their achievements as much, perhaps, as I should have done. We were taught that what we were, and what we achieved was what counted in life; not so much the place we started from, as we arrived. All of my ancestors, except one pair of my great-grandparents, came from the British Isles. THE NEILS I will tell you first of my fathers family. The Neils were said to be of Irish descent, although I remember hearing Grandpas grandmother, McCubbin, which sounds very Scotch. I have no knowledge of when they migrated from the British Isles, neither do I know where Great Grandfather Peter Neil was born. But John Neil, my Grandfather, was born in Tenn. in 1811. He had one brother, Mattison Neil, younger than himself. His mother died when they were small children, and his father remarried. Quite a family was born to this marriage. Grandpa was married quite young, and his bride was Sarah Ann Shultz. Their eldest child, my Aunt Leta, was born in Tenn., and was about two years old when they migrated to Illinois. I think this was in 1835 or 1836. Their chief reason for leaving Tenn. and coming north, was a vision of War Clouds on the horizon. Arguments on the Slavery question were frequent and heated, and of course were never settled. There was much ill will between slave owners and those who opposed slavery. Those opposed to slavery were not so prosperous, as they did not profit by slave labor, and were usually despised and called "poor white trash". Grandpa at one time owned one slave, but I do not know whether he was sold or freed. I suspect that he was freed, as Grandpa was a fearless man, and stood four square for what he believed right. They thought that by going to a free state they could avoid the evils of war, which, even at that early date seemed inevitable. Illinois was, at that time, mostly a vast wilderness. The central part of the state had quite a lot of timber, and the prairie was covered with coarse, tough grass, six or eight feet tall, or even taller. They had no implements which would cut through and turn the deep, heavy sod at that time, so the early settlements were in the timber districts. Grandpa bought land of the Government, built a log cabin, cleared away the timber, and established his farm. He dug wells, procured stock, planted an orchard, and raised crops of corn, wheat and oats. With all this arduous labor, he never forgot or neglected his religious duties. Sunday was always strictly kept as a day of rest and worship. There never was any putting off small jobs for Sunday. Everyone must be neat and clean on Sunday, and all work must be done and put away. Finally, a pioneer Baptist preacher came into that part of the state. His name was Willis Whitfield, and he and Grandpa invited the neighbors in for a "Meeting." These meetings continued for some time, and finally enough Baptists got together to organize a church. They continued to meet at Grandpas house for several years. I have a faint remembrance of two services held there; one in the big living room and the other in the grove near the house. About this time they managed to collect enough money to buy the lumber to build a small country church. Grandpa donated the land for the church and the cemetery, and the men of the church donated their labor to build it. Schooling For a number of years, they had no school system. Grandpa was much interested and used his influence in favor of public schools. In the meantime his family was needing instruction, and since he was determined that they should not grow up illiterate, all through the long winter evenings he taught the elementary subjects, so that when the public schools finally procured, his children were quite well advanced. Grandpa was a strict disciplinarian. I have heard my father say that he never scolded, but woe to the child that willfully disobeyed. Law I do not know when or where Grandpa got his knowledge of law, but I do know that for many years he was District Judge, attending to all the civil suits in the district. The few criminal suits went to Shelbyville, the county seat. A joke in the district was "Do you swear by Uncle Jack? If you tell a lie you will take it back." This reputation rose from his knowledge of law, strictness in court procedure and his fairness to all. Hardships and inconveniences The soil produced abundant crops, but one of the great problems was lack of markets. Shelbyville, the county seat, was a very small town and consumed a very small amount of the produce. There were no railroads. The Ill. Central and "I and St. Louis", later called the big four, were not built till many years later. St Louis, 110 miles distant, was the nearest market. A good deal of corn was fed to stock, which were then DRIVEN to St. Louis for sale. The trip took several days, and although they took wagonloads of feed with them the stock lost much weight, and it was a very hard trip, both for stock and drivers. Sometimes they butchered the hogs, cured the meat and hauled that to St. Louis. The Surplus beans, onions, sweet potatoes, and yams and their products were hauled that long distance. A good cow was worth about $8.00. I do not remember other prices. $50.00 was the price of forty acres of land, but how could one procure$50.00? Very few necessities had to be purchased: Coffee, Sugar, salt and a few spices, together with madder and indigo for dying, and some cotton warp for some of the cotton which they wove ; a little calico or gingham and cotton shirting for summer clothing. These were about all the things they bought. After Grandpas death my father found several canceled bills in his chest. They each ran from Jan 1st to Jan 1st, and the bills amounts for the full years ran from $30.00 to $35.00 each!! I have heard my father tell of the first washboard the family owned. Grandpa made it from a slab of wood with grooves running parallel with the grain-- quite an invention, and a great help on washday. Instead of tubs, they had a trough cut from a large log. Water was heated in a large iron kettle near the well. They made their own soap, leaching ashes for the lye, and using their "used fats" for the soap making. When my Great Grandfather, Peter Neil, died, he left a family of orphaned children. I think most of them were older than Grandpas family but Grandpa and Grandma had several children of their own, these others needed a home and someone to look after them, so Grandpa and Grandma took them into their home. There were six of them, the youngest a little girl only seven years old. Her name was Luhaney, The other girls were Kathrine and Lucinda. The boys were Hugh, Prior and Landon, I think most of them were old enough to help with the work, but their home was with my Grandparents until they were grown. I never knew any of them except Luhaney, and she was quite an elderly woman. Another incident told by my grandfather gives quite an insight into Grandpas character. In the early days, all the grain was cut by hand. A tool called a cradle was used, then it was picked up by others and bound into sheaves. It was very hard work, and men thought they must have whiskey to help them endure it. Grandpa had yielded to the custom, but finally decided against it so a few days before they were to begin their harvest, he said to his sons that he had not bought any whiskey for the men. My father, then a youth said that he did not think the men would work without it. Grandpa replied, "all right, if they wont work without it we will save all we can and the rest can rot in the field." When the men came to work, Grandpa told them of his decision. Two of the men walked out, but the rest of the men, with Grandpa and his sons, saved the crop. This was the beginning of the end of that custom in the vacinity. Grandma Neil Prov. 31:10-21 gives a fine description of Grandma and her activities. I can not remember her ever being idle. Her work was: gardening, both vegetables and flowers, poultry raising, chickens, turkeys and geese; picking the geese and making pillows and feather beds; spinning, weaving, washing and sewing; and storing food for the winter use. All of her work had to be done the hard way with no labor saving devices as we have now. Oh no. She could not have possibly have done it all herself. She considered housework and home making in all their forms, an essential part of a girls education, and so she taught and directed her daughters. My aunts had only public school education, but they had plenty of domestic science and domestic art. I remember yet the goodness and abundance of the dinners they served. "The richest were poor and the poorest lived in abundance". My people lived off the land, and such abundance would astonish young people of the present time. They had beef, pork, mutton, poultry, butter, eggs, milk, kurd, cheese, honey, cane syrup, fruits and vegetables. Their bread was from the fields of wheat and corn. Fruits and corn were dried for winter use. Yams, sweet potatoes and onions were stored where they would not freeze or get damp, Cabbage, turnips and sour kraut ready. In the earlier days there were many deer, wild turkeys, prairie chickens, bobwhites, and wild pigeons, but my father said that they had to conserve ammunition, so seldom shot the smaller game, but sometimes trapped them. Grandma and her daughters were skillful in weaving and knitting. Beginning with the wool off the sheeps back, they washed, carded and spun it, dyed the wool and wove many kinds of cloth. They also raised some flax and wove some linen, but this was abandoned before my time. I remember my father tell of how he hated a pair of "tow" breeches (made of the rougher fiber of the flax). They wove many blankets and beautiful counterpanes, most perfect work, and many of them have lasted through the years and prized by members of the family. I can also remember Grandma gathering herbs and roots, drying them and putting them away carefully for the treatment of minor ailments. After Grandmas health and sight failed, I remember her sitting by the big fireplace knitting. She shaped the article by touch or feeling, just as a blind person reads Braille. I can remember her, too, sitting by the tiny wheel used in "quilting" (filling the bobbins for the weavers shuttles). The quills were made of small joints of elder, with pith pushed out, and cut to the proper length. The same kind of quills though much longer, were used on the spindle when preparing the thread for weaving. Grandma planned the meals, I remember hearing the girls ask what they should cook for dinner, She died at 54 when I was 10 years old, but I still have vivid remembrance of her- A great personality. MY FATHER was the oldest son of the family. He was anxious to continue his education, so Grandpa arranged for him to enter the "Academy" which had been established in Shelbyville. From what I know of the school I think its curriculum was much like the High Schools of present time, and rated with the colleges of that time. My uncle Wesley, the youngest son, later attended the same school. The second son Tillman Neil, choose to stay with the land. He was a very quiet man who made a good living from the soil. He was industrious, honest, and highly respected wherever known. His wife was a lovely little lady who seemed to be everyones friend. Uncle Tillman had two sons and three daughters who grew to manhood and womanhood, and they also reared a motherless baby whom they always regarded as a daughter. I remember how she risked her own life once, to save one of the younger children from a vicious, ill-tempered horse. We loved Chloe, just as we did our other cousins. Uncle Wesley was also a farmer. He was also industrious, and he prospered. After Grandpas death he came to the Old Home Place. He built a new house, the fourth on the same location; replaced the little old church with a new one. He had no children so after providing for his wife for life, he left the remainder of his property to the Baptist Denomination. I do not know to what branch of the work, but think it was pretty well distributed. Aunt Emeline and Aunt Lucy kept house for some time after Grandmas death. Then Aunt Emiline married and went with her husband, Jacob Dove, to Kansas. They had three little children and were quite prosperous and happy, but death took Uncle Jake and things were never the same again. Aunt Emiline too, passed away many years ago. Aunt Lucy was only six years older than I, and was my playmate when I lived with my Grandparents after my mothers death. I can yet remember the fun we had together making mud pies, and how we got plastered up. We made clay dishes and dried them in the sun as children do now. But six years is a long time in a little girls life and quite a space between adolescent and a young lady. Aunt Lucy began stepping out with a tall red headed man. It seemed quite a joke at first, but in about two years was married to this Orville Robinson, and went away from home. They had two sons and I think three daughters, but I was never well acquainted with my Robinson cousins, as Uncle Orville was a man who always saw Greener Pastures just a little way ahead, and they changed their residence often. Really, I think oftener than the preacher and wife. Their children are scattered far and wide, Minnie in Louisiana, Marie in Arkansas, Delbert in Oregon and the youngest in Arkansas, the last I have heard. Aunt Lieta (Seleta Alzire) was the oldest child of the family, She was keen minded and alert. Her husband delegated most of the business to her. She kept all the accounts, and I have often heard it said that "She should have been a lawyer." She had no children of her own, but usually had children in her home who needed care and guidance. She and her husband, Daniel Downs, cared for a baby boy, educated him and made him their heir. Mary Elizabeth was the second daughter, Her husband was James Higganbotham, They had three sons and two daughters who grew to manhood and womanhood. They lived near us, and we were great chums. Aunt Katherine was the third daughter, and was two years younger than my father. Her husband was Soloman Fancler. They had three daughters and two sons who grew to maturity. Oh, how I enjoyed my cousin Jane. She surely was a comedian, and usually kept the others laughing. She was not a pretty girl, but her compensation was a gift of humor and wit, that won her friends on every side. John and Joab, (called Tobe) were lively, jolly, mischievous boys. We liked to include them in our fun too. The family went to Kansas when a second daughter was just a little girl, so I had very little acquaintance with her, and the third I never saw. My fathers next two sisters were the twins, Sarah and Mariah. They were not identical. Mariah died at the age of 24, a short time before the wedding day for which she had prepared. I remember the wedding dress that was never worn. Aunt Sarahs husband was an Englishman, James Lowan. His ideas and ideals were very different from those of the Neil family and Aunt Sarah never seemed to be very happy. They went from Illinois to Kansas when their children were small. Aunt Sarah died there. The family went further west, and many years ago we heard they were somewhere in Oregon, lost to the rest of the family. The Shultz family My Grandmother Neils maiden name was Shultz. Her parents were Jacob Shultz and Anna Marie (Gross) Shultz. Both were German Swiss. I think perhaps, that they were of a colony of friends who came over together soon after the close of the Revolution. Great Grandmother was 14 years old and could speak no English when she came. I know very little about the Shultz family - not even the number of Grandmas brothers and sisters. I remember Uncle Joab, who visited relatives in Ill. just after the close of the Civil War, and I have heard of Uncle Jacob. Grandma had an older sister, Aunt Katie, who lived in Illinois. The brothers had large plantations and lived in Tenn. and owned many slaves. Many years before the Civil War began, they realized that it was inevitable, and hoping for a better situation, they moved from Tenn. to Mo. There also they prospered and became wealthy men. When the war began Uncle Jacob took fifty of his most valuable slaves into the south, hoping the confederacy would be victorious, and he would save a remnant of his wealth. When the northern army won the war and the slaves were free, he staid at home- saw his wealth melt away like snow in the sunshine, but he seemed better able to take it than his brother, and lived a number of years after the close of the war. I remember the evidences of the bitterness produced by the war. One of my fathers cousins, Mollie Dees, was visiting in Grandpas home just after the war was over- She was from Mo. Grandpa had a chart with a picture of Lincoln in the center and officers of the northern army around the border, Mollie stood on a chair, took a sharp knife, and before anyone knew what she was doing, she had cut the throats of every officer on the chart. Oh the bitterness brought on by the war!! Mollies husband and brother had been killed in the southern army, and she had seen all her property swept away---left a widow with two small children. She had been reared in luxury and poverty was very bewildering. Even in Ill. a free state there was very hard feeling. One of our neighbors was too outspoken, and one night his barn was burned. If people talked, everyone knew where their sympathies were, and if people did not talk, both parties accused them of being on the opposite side, and they were hated accordingly. It took a long, long, time to restore peace and goodwill. Grandmas sister, Aunt Katie, was 20 years older than Grandma, and had migrated to Ill. before Grandma was born. Her husband, Uncle Hinson, was a very eccentric man, He had a small farm, raised only the small amount of grain needed to feed his family and necessary stock. He dressed deer skins to clothe himself and sons, and his rifle provided plenty of meat from the wilds. Aunt Katie did some weaving, stored food for the winter use etc. but I think that she never had abundance that my Grandmother had. She bought small apple trees when she came from Tenn. and many of the older orchards in that locality were grown from scions from the Hinson Orchard grafted on crab apple roots. My Grandpa had a few "Aunt Katie" apples in his orchard when I was a little child-- very large, old trees. Uncle Hinson did not like any person who was energetic and tried to accumulate any property - called them "covetous". Since Grandpa was anxious to acquire a competence, it did not take Uncle Hinson long to tell him what he thought of him. He made it hard for the sisters to see each other. I have heard my father speak of his cousins, however, and so I think the children were quite intimate. I think Uncle Hinson died before my time, as I have not any remembrance of him, and Aunt Katie was living with one of her sons some distance from us. I do not remember her at all, but she lived beyond the age of 90. One of the Henson cousins visited us when we lived near Reedley in 1918. He was near the same age as my father, who then lived with me, and they had a great visit. He was a very sentimental old man. He told us of a recent visit he had made to Ill. He said he went to the old home, looked at all the scenes of his childhood, and took off his shoes and sox and walked barefoot to the spring from which they had carried all their water, just as he had done so often when he was a boy. I also met his daughter for the first time that day in Reedley. Years ago, I knew a grandson of the Hensons. He was a very fine young man. He was very keen minded and courteous, and a very pleasant associate. He was a graduate of Westfield College, and also an accomplished musician. He and another college man helped my father harvest a crop of peaches one summer, and they surely kept things going lively. There was an old German Bible still in existence which my Great Grandmother Schultz brought with her from Switzerland, My Aunt Katherine had it after Grandmas death, and one of her daughters still has it. THE PUGH FAMILY (My Mothers People) "Pugh" is a common Welsh name. I have heard Grandpa talk about his red headed Irish Grandmother, Her name was Beulah Glass but he always said "Scotch-Irish," There is a tradition that there were three brothers who came over from the British Isles in Colonial days, and when the Revolution began they entered the army, and fought to the end of the war. They then went to Kentucky, but it seems they all had the "WanderLust" and migrated, one to Ill. one to Missouri, and one to Iowa. My Grandfather Pugh was born in Kentucky in 1810. I do not know when they came to Illinois, but it must have been quite early as I have heard stories of the Indians, who were still there when the Pugh family came to the state. I understand that the Indians were friendly. Grandpas fathers name was Thomas Pugh. but I know nothing about his mother. He had one sister and three brothers. The sister and two brothers died, probably before I was born, but I knew three of my mothers cousins, children of the Uncles that died. One was Beulah Vaughn, in whose lovely home I visited. I enjoyed her and her husband and three children, who were near my own age. I also knew two daughters of the other brother, Alice and Belle Pugh, They often visited their cousins, Uncle Bobs daughters, who were near the same age. They had been left an ample estate, and I think they attended a "Young Ladies Finishing School". They were lovely girls, and, oh, how I admired their charming personalities and their beautiful clothes. I think Grandpa Pugh was the oldest son of his parents. His wife was Elizabeth Inman. I admired my Grandmother very much. She had poise and charm, and wonderful self control, which I recognized as a child. I do not remember ever hearing her raise her voice even when she spoke to her noisy, romping grandchildren, and we obeyed her, just as we did Grandpa, when he came in, stomped his foot and exclaimed "SILENCE". There was silence. Grandpa was a farmer and stock man. I remember the big white house on the hill, the big barn, where we used to love to jump down from the hay loft to the grain bins below. I remember deer park in the pasture north of the house. There was a very high board fence around it, and a pretty little grove and a pool of water in the park. My Mother was the second daughter, and Uncle Will, the only son and youngest child. I think his disposition was much like that of his mother, very quiet- and he would suffer loss rather than contend for his rights. My Mothers oldest sister was Mary Ann, the oldest of the family, She married a soldier boy who went to the Civil war and never came back. She said she would never marry again. She lived a number of years with her parents, and then as women often do she changed her mind and married a widower, a fine man with a family of eight children. Two of his daughters were already married and another daughter and son were married soon afterward. Then one by one, the other three sons went to College, so the congestion was not so great. One daughter near my age, and I attended High School together. My Aunt had two children, a son and a daughter, my cousin Homer Corley, went to College, studied medicine and became a physician, practicing in Tower Hill Ill. My Aunt died soon after I came to the Pacific Coast. We neglected writing, and I know nothing of my cousin Eva and have not heard from any of them for many years. My mother was the second daughter, and my aunt Jane, the third. Her husband was Thomas Hayden, She had a family of four girls, Elsie, Caroline, Blanche, and Mary. Walter was the only son. These girls were the ones with whom I romped when I went to Grandpa Pughs as they lived near. And Oh, the fun we had. Aunt Cardines family were five daughters and one son. I loved to go visit Aunt Lines family. Her husband, Peter Killam, was a jolly fellow and saw that we had a good time. Aunt Sarah lived further away, and I did not see her family as often as the others. My cousin Florence, a little younger than I and a house full of little boys (there were 4 or 5 of them) and another little girl, Myrtle, were her family, Oh yes, we had a lot of fun when I was there, We could always find a lot of fun somewhere. And last of all, my Uncle Will. I loved him. He was always so kind and thoughtful of everyone, He was much like his mother in disposition, quiet and thoughtful, and never contentious, His wife was Mary Farancis Smith. She was lively talkative, and full of fun. They had two sons, The older, Charles, was a quiet fellow who chose farming as his occupation. Robert studied law, and when last I heard of him was States Attorney, living in Shelbyville, Ill. Grandpas youngest brother Robert Pugh, lived near us. Some of his land joined our home place, so I saw him often and knew him well. His wife was Peggy Rhodes, an alert little woman with curly hair, I did not know then that her name was Margaret. Uncle Pugh had a family of five daughters and two sons, but some died early in life. Uncle "Bob" loved music and he bought the first piano that came into our community. He paid $1000.00 for it, which most of his neighbors thought a TERRIBLE extravagance. Two of his daughters were quite talented in music, so he sent them to Westerfield College, where they majored in music; Cynthia in piano and Zane in piano and also in voice. She had a good voice and sang beautifully. When Cynthia was married she wanted the piano so she got it and Uncle Bob bought another for Zane. He said he knew that would be the last one he would buy because "Mary would rather have a sewing machine." When I read or see pictures of English sportsmen, I think of Uncle Bob. He raised much stock and also large acerages of grain. He loved fine horses and fleet hounds , and I never knew him to turn down a fox chase. When he heard "The horns ring out with a merry sound; And a fleet footed horse on the frosted ground; and the deep-mouthed bay of the rapid hound," we knew that a chase was on and that Uncle Bob was probably in the lead, although there were a number of others who also loved the sport. He was a fine horseman and some thought him a little reckless when they saw him riding through the timber and over ravines and fences, but I never heard of him being hurt in a chase. He knew the voice of every one of his hounds, and could tell which hound was leading by the way he bayed. I loved to hear him tell of a chase. He was a fine story teller. He would say, "one of Bills hounds had been first, but I heard Reuben take the lead, etc" I thought that I would love to ride just one chase, but in those days, it just was not done. However I saw a part of one chase. A fox had been caught some time before and shut up in an old house and a chase was arranged to be held on New Years Day. My father joined the chase and we who were left at home were listening for the chase to start. I staid outside watching in the direction from which the sounds came, and I saw a fox leap the fence a short distance away. I called the others and the fox came right down the road to the intersection and turned toward our house. It came near, then went through the garden and across a clover field and disappeared in the timber. A few hounds came trailing carefully and baying. Then we saw the rest of the pack that seemed to just be following the leaders. The men came down the road, since they knew they could make better time that way, and they only went a few miles further before catching the fox which did not run well on account of the confinement. I loved to listen to Uncle Bobs stories, and he could sure tell some thrillers. I remember one deer he had just "creased", and when he went up to it , he found it very much alive. It jumped up and attacked him, knocked him down and pinning him to the ground, the points of the antlers thrust through his clothing. Uncle Bob called his dog, so the deer had to release him in order to defend itself. The fight was fast and furious, Uncle Bob recovered his gun but was afraid to shoot, because he feared he might kill his dog. He soon saw his chance, and the fight had a happy ending and Uncle Bob had his venison. Uncle Bobs daughters were Ellen, Nancy, Cynthia Zane and Mary. His sons were Thomas and William. The Pughs were devout people, helpful and kind. They were affiliated with the Methodist denomination and they with others , maintained a church not far from our home. MY FATHERS FAMILY My father , Nelson Neil and Martha Pugh, were married Dec. 1, 1859. They lived near the little town of Tower Hill Ill. on a farm where I was born, Oct 11, 1860. The next spring the Civil War began, and money was scarce and hard to get, so my father taught school in winter and farmed in summer and so got along very well. This was often done in those days. I had a little sister two years younger than I who died in Sept, 1864. Then a terrible epidemic of Typhoid fever struck that part of the state and many people died. My mother became ill and passed away Oct. 10th, the day before my fourth birthday. Our home was broken up and I became an inmate of Grandpa Neils home. From some incidents I can remember, I think I was a much petted and spoiled little girl. My father sold the farm and entered the Mercantile Business; he and another man owning a general merchandise store in Tower Hill, Ill. On Jan. 8, 1866, my father was married to Miss Emma Armantrout, and I came into the new home, five children were born to them, four boys and one girl, The oldest boy died in infancy, My father decided to sell the store and go back to farming. He bought a farm east of town when I was eight years old and moved there in the fall. About this time my father who was a public minded man, was elected assessor of his district. I think he served two years. After this he was a county supervisor, and during his term of office a new court house was built in Shelbyville. There were many ponds of water on the prairie near our home, and as there was not adequate drainage, they remained all year, growing smaller and stagnant in summer, and there were many mosquitoes, consequently, many cases of malaria. We had a great deal of sickness, so my father decided to get away from that place. He bought a new farm further north where the land was rolling with timber and natural drainage. It was near Grandpas house, and the little church which had been organized in his home. I was ten years old when we moved to that place in March 1876, when I dedicated my life to Christ. I became a member of that church. I also became more interested in my education and decided I wanted to become a teacher, (One of the few occupations open to women.) It may seem strange , but at that time I had only seen one woman who was clerking in a store, I studied hard and was able to go to High School. After that I took the County Examination and received my teachers certificate, and taught five years before my marriage. On Mar 18th, 1883 I was married to Rev. G.W. Donnel in the same dear little old church. Rev. Levi Corley performed the ceremony, and my cousin Miss Ann Higginbotham and Mr. Harry Rawlings were our attendants. My dress was a heavy brown Crossgrain Silk, made ankle length, very "fussy" with two box pleated ruffles and horse shoe shirring. My bonnet was made of the same material with bronze beads and buckle, a big white plume and ties of brighter brown brockade ribbon sleeves and a big net lace collar. I had a few white flowers peeping from under the front of my bonnet. MY BROTHERS (My Fathers Family) I am eight years older than my oldest brother, Walter Lucius Neil. He was born on Dec. 3 1868 on the farm east of Tower Hill. He attended High School in Tower Hill and was a good student. He afterward taught for some time before entering Chicago College of Dental Surgery from which he graduated with the class of 1898. He selected Deadwood, So. Dakota as a location, and practiced dentistry there until he retired a few years ago. He married Miss Josie Oeek, a charming young lady. She was gifted in music and played the violin quite well. Their family consisted of daughter Nelle and a son Stanton. Nelle attended an academy of music in Illinois, and Stanton attended college, but I do not know where nor when he graduated. Too bad when families are scattered. I have seen my brothers four times in the past fifty-four years, Walterss son once, and his daughter and her children not at all. Josie died in Deadwood years ago, but I do not have the date. Morton H. Neil My second brother , was born on the same farm near Tower Hill, Ill. Apr.14, 1870 He was a bright, fun loving boy and I still remember some of his jokes and pranks. He prepared himself for teaching and taught for a number of years, then settled down on the farm. It seems that we who were raised on the farm still love the soil. He married Miss Docia Lane, his boyhood sweetheart, For a time she attended school in Ind. but I do not know where or for how long. Their family was two sons and two daughters. The oldest son, Howard Neil, has been a teacher for many years. Hazel and Lorainne both married years ago. Dawn the youngest son was the athletic director in a High School in Sullivan Ill. when I last heard. Morton and Docia have both entered into their rest. Wesley N. Neil My youngest brother was born Aug. 2, 1872. When a child , if he had no playmates , he could always amuse himself. When older he was very studious lad. After finishing High School I think he worked for a time on the farm. He then decided to attend Toronto Veterinary College. He graduated in 1901 and practiced in Ill. for less than two years. Then the U.S. began to prepare for the inspection of meat that was killed for market. Wesley took examinations and entered the service of U.S. Animal Industry. His first station was at Grinnelle Iowa, then to E. St. Louis; So. Omaha; then to Chicago where he was chief inspector over several ( I think 5) packing companies. several hundred men were under his supervision. His wife was Alice Campfield. They had two children. The sons name was Garvin and they also had a daughter. They were living in Chicago at the time of his death several years ago, and his wife still lives there. Nellie was my only sister who lived beyond childhood, and was the youngest of my fathers family. She was five years old at the time of my marriage. She was a lovely child and dearly loved. I had been married ten years and had been on the Pacific Coast five years Nellie was growing up "Standing with reluctant feet, where the brook and the river meet". Then one day I received a very brief letter telling me that Nellie was gone. "And we wept that one so lovely, should have had a life so brief."--- Only 15 beautiful years--- My brothers were all married in homes of their own, so my parents came to California for a visit with us. I remember Ma saying "Oh that big empty house. I just had to get away from it for a while". After visiting with us for a while they went to Los Angeles for some time before returning home. Ma died in 1914. After some years my father came to us and was with us the last 17 yrs of his life. He died at Reedley home 1922 at the age of 84 years. The Donnel Family William Lewis Donnel, my husbands father, was born in Tenn. on Jan. 22,1820. He was Scotch-Irish. I do not know his fathers given name, but I have often heard my husband refer to him as a Baptist Minister. I know nothing of his wife. Grandpaw Donnel had two brothers Jessie and John. Uncle John moved to the west before I became acquainted with the family, but I knew Uncle Jessie quite well. He was a pleasant and interesting man. I do not know when the family came to Illinois, and I have waited too long to get any information. He bought Government land, built his log cabin and made his furniture, and at the age of 21 he was married to Miss Mary Royce who was seventeen. Like other pioneers, they met many inconveniences and hardships. When he needed help very badly grandma worked in the fields with him, but that was only in the first hard years. He had strength, health and good judgement, so he prospered, bought more land, built a larger and better house, and had the conveniences common to the time in which they lived. He raised much stock, cattle and hogs. In addition to his grain growing. Grandpa had only the public school education, but he had a keen mind and was exceptionally quick in mental arithmetic. I have heard my husband tell of going with his father to deliver a number of fat hogs, and when he received his weights, knowing the price per pound, he found the amount of money due him, mentally, before the weigher with a pencil and paper could compute it. They built another house, the third, much larger and better a few years before I knew the family, and they lived from their marriage until death on the same farm. Grandma Donnel was a very industrious woman, she did weaving in the early days. She had many beautiful counterpanes, and four of them that now belong to our family, were woven by her. I suspect that they were part of her "hope chest", as every girl was supposed to have a good supply of blankets, counterpanes, quilts (light and heavy) sheets, pillowcases, pillows and a feather bed before her marriage. As She married in 1841, they would now be more than 100 years old. In later years she pieced many beautiful quilts, and did the most perfect quilting. She was also an expert knitter, making not only garments, but many beautiful patterns of lace etc. I knew Grandma Donnels mother, Hannah Royse Goodwin. Her first husband , your great -grandfather Royse, died when three children, Aunt Mollie, Mary(Grandma Donnel) and Uncle Hiram Royce, were small children. After they were all grown up she married a Mr. Goodwin, a man of wealth and position. She was well provided for but in later years her children did not want her to live alone, so she made her home with Grandpa and Grandma Donnel for the rest of her life. She was very alert and maintained her mentally until a short time before her death, although she lived to extreme old age. The Royce family were of English descent. The Donnel Family were four sons and four daughters who grew to manhood and womanhood. The three older daughters were Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Hannah, and Dora Ellen. The three older daughters were married and raised families.(Editors note*** The following daughters children are not clear on the copy, we are doing our best we can) Elizabeths children were three sons, Eddie and Charles and Sam. Mary Anns children were Willie, John and Frank. Hannahs children were Lilley and Bertha. I think all the sons are farmers and the daughters are housewives. Aunt Dora staid with her parents and took care of them until the end of their lives, Then after Charles marriage, she moved to the town of Westerveldt, where she spent the remainder of her life. She died in 1940. The sons were William Lewis, George Washington, James Willis, and Charles Henry Donnel. Lewis was a farmer and raised some stock. He made a good living not considered rich. He loved music and had a good voice and read music well and sang for church and community programs. His wife Nettie Busbee Donnel, was also very proficient in music, and for many years directed the church choir and choral society. Both were always active in the social and religious work of their community. Their family was two sons and two daughters, Oran owns and operates a farm near Westerveldt, Ill. He has two sons, Curtis Donnel lives in Decatur Ill. and I think he is a carpenter. Cora Pontius , the eldest daughter, taught school for a number of years. She and her husband and oldest daughter were killed in a terrible auto-train accident. When old age came, Lewis retired from the work on the farm and moved to town. He died several years ago. Nettie still lives in Westerveldt. GEORGE W. DONNEL my husband was the second son of the family. He was born Feb. 12,1855. After finishing the public school he attended school in Shelbyville, Ill. and afterward he taught for several years before our marriage. Of our family, I write later. JAMES W. DONNEL was the third son of the family. He got his education in public schools of Illinois. He also studied music and was much interested in social and religious life of his community. My first remembrance of him was seeing him and hearing him leading the singing of his sunday school at one of our great Union Sunday School Picnics. He was married to Miss Sarah Killam in Sept.1881. She was a very pretty woman and a gracious hostess. In Sept. 1884 Jim decided to change his location, and so went to Kansas to look things over. He liked Elk Co. and chose to locate there. He bought a large stock ranch and bought many cattle and fed and shipped young cattle to the large markets. He was a good judge of stock and bought only the best. He was also a good business man, and so prospered. They had no children of their own, but never lost interest in young people. They just loved to visit "Uncle Jim and Aunt Sarah" and often the house was full of them, invited for the week-end. They built a lovely new home in Howard, Kansas, the Co. Seat in 1912 or 1913 . Soon after this, Sarahs health failed. She was not well for a long time. Some years after her death, Jim was married to a younger woman who had a sixteen year old daughter. He was very fond of this girl, and in his will he made her his heir with her mother. He died in 1937 at the age of eighty years. CHARLES H. DONNEL was the youngest son of the family. He staid at home with his parents and superintended his fathers property after Grandpa was incapacitated by age and an accident which put him on crutches for the rest of his life. Charlie also owned land and had much stock. He shipped many cattle to the Chicago markets. Grandpa Donnel died in 1901 and Charlie brought a bride, Miss Minnie Simons, to the old house. In settling the estate, none of the family wanted to see the old house sold and go to strangers, so Charlie took it over. He entered the grain business about this time and was engaged in it for thirty some years. About three years before his death he retired from the business and spent all his time with his farming interests. One of his chief interests was a prize herd of Angus Cattle. During his business career he was quite successful, and had acquired more than 700 acres of good farm land. Shortly before his death he gave each of his sons a farm. -------------------------------- GEORGE W. AND SARAH LIZZIE DONNEL As stated before, I was married to your father on Mar 18, 1883 in our dear little old church, where I retained my membership until our removal to Kansas. My husband had been ordained to the Gospel Ministry on Sept. 24,1881, but he had not taken a pastorate although he preached often. In Sept. 1884 we, with our little son Samuel, went to Wilson Co. Kansas. He still did not take a pastorate but preached often. The next winter he taught school, and in the spring accepted a call to the First Baptist Church of Neodesha, Kansas. We remained there until the fall of 1888, then went to Elk City. After one year he resigned and went to Illinois for a visit. He was quite undecided where he should go, so took a trip to Texas, came back, and we decided to go to the Pacific Coast. We had friends in Oregon, who were urging us to come there, so we started on Jan. 22. It was very cold and disagreeable and traveling is not very easy with three little children. When we got to the mountains we traveled very slowly. Anna got sick and when we got to Green river Wyoming we had a lay over of 26 hrs. That was really very fortunate because Anna was much better in the morning. Mr. Donnel went outside and soon came back and said we had two engines and a snow plow and soon would be going on. We traveled on, and when we got over the mountains the rain was pouring. We staid in Portland that night and got a train out in the morning and finally got to our friends. How very lucky, because that was the last train over the road for two weeks. The Willamette valley was overflowed and much property and stock were destroyed in the floods- the terrible flood of 1890. But we got a house where we lived for a few weeks, and in due time, Mr. Donnel was called and settled down in Oakland, Oregon. He staid there, I think for two years, or a little more, then was appointed by the State Board to be Evangelistic Missionary for Western Oregon. While we lived at Oakland, Oregon, I had my first vacation trip and my first sight of the ocean. The trip was very interesting. Lovely streams, wonderful flowers, and forests that were strange to me. In Nov. 1892-1892 Mr. Donnel accepted a call to Redding, Calif. in the San Joaquin Valley. Mr. Donnel served three churches at Hanford. Hanford in the morning, Armona in the afternoon, and Lemore in the evening. Horse and buggy days, and the preacher did SOME DRIVING. In Mar. 1899 we came to Selma which was then a small church worshiping in the old church on third St. While we were here the church bought its first parsonage. In the fall of 1901 he was appointed Associational Missionary and we moved to Fresno. About that time too, he was moderator of the San Joaquin Valley for a number of years. He worked too hard, and too constantly and took too little rest. He had smallpox and pneumonia, and following a long serious illness he suffered a nervous breakdown and was in bed for about 18 months, He then got much better and was able to be up, but was not ever very well. We bought the "old Home" at Reedley. He did some little work on the place and preached almost every Sunday, and suffered another breakdown. Too much energy for his strength. He died in 1908. Dec. 17 1908 I had eight children, five not yet through school. Two in grammar school and three in High School. Sam, our oldest son was married some time before to Miss Verena Hotchkiss. Anna was married the next spring May 2, 1909. Eva entered the Fresno State college from which she graduated in 1914, Bee went to work in the bank. She had taken a business course in High School after graduation, and Eunice went to the University of California in Los Angeles. All eventually married and I was left alone in the Reedly home. I had a severe attack of neuritis which continued for more than two years, and at that time I came to live with Anna. Editors note**** This is the end of what Mother wrote, You can see by reading it that she was getting progressively less able to do it. It was never finished. It became real LABOR for her as she tried to complete it for us-- A labor of Love At my request, Dora agreed to finish the work, writing the family history from the time of the marriage of G.W. Donnel and Lizzie Neil-- that part which especially interests us. It has been more work than most of you can possibly know and to Dora goes the sincere thanks of the whole family. Thank you, Dora, for all of us. "Bee". **************************************

She married George Henry Benner in Reedley, CA, November 28, 1912. The following was taken from John Vermeer's (vermeer@bigfoot.com) website at: http://lightning.prohosting.com/~vermeer/genealogy /JustAbitOfFamilyHistory.html The earlier family history can be seen under Sarah Lizzie Neil Donnel LATER FAMILY HISTORY Compiled from memory, and your help by Dora Benner-- Dora Maude Donnel. The first few years of our parents life together will have to be constructed from memory of things our mother has told us. After their marriage in Illinois, they both continued teaching school, mama for a three months summer term, and papa a term or so. They lived on a farm and papa was a farmer. He also tried a business venture,- a hardware store partnership, which proved to be expensive experience and disappointing. The partner got the money and papa got the experience. When they went to housekeeping, they bought the old bookcase, which was our best piece of furniture until they bought the piano On Feb. 21,1884 Sam was born in Shelby Co. Ill. Grace was born in Kansas Oct. 21,1885. She died at Neodesha, Kas. the following summer at the age of nine months. In the spring of 1885 papa became the Pastor of the Baptist church of Neodesha ,Kans. Dora was born at Neodesha on May 26,1887. The folks moved to Elk City, Kans. in the fall of 1889, and Anna was born there on March 26,1889. Papa was the Pastor of the Baptist church at Elk City for about a year. While the family lived in Neodesha they built a house which they had to leave when they decided to come west. In January of 1889 they brought their family of three small children and came to Oregon. When we first arrived in Oregon, we lived a short time out in the country, then he became pastor at Oakland Oregon for about two years. He was appointed evangelistic missionary for western Oregon. He was away from home a great deal of the time, so we continued to live in Oakland, Oregon. While living in Oakland we took a wonderful trip through the beautiful forests to Bandon, Oregon. From boyhood it had been papas desire to sometime come to California to live, and about 1892 they moved to Redding California, where papa was pastor of the Baptist Church. While we lived in Redding, Calif. Beatrice was born on Jan. 1,1893. The day Bee was born papa cut Doras, Annas and Evas hair, because Mama felt she could not care for so many little girls hair. They kept it cut very short like boys hair until we were old enough to comb it and care for it ourselves. Cora was ten, and the others eight or ten when the hair was allowed to grow. About this time we began getting mission barrels to help out with the clothing and household needs of the family. Many of them were full of good usable articles, mostly used clothing. Sometimes part of the clothing was already made over into clothes for us children. Mama usually sent patterns to fit each of us with the letter telling what was most needed. These barrels contained many surprises, sometimes toys and dolls for us children, which were put away and saved for Christmas gifts. Sometimes there were other kinds of surprises--- and HOW!!! Imagine unpacking 17 used corsets. We received these barrels each fall for many years. In Redding Dora, Anna, and Eva attended a private kindergarten, which was little more than a day nursery. Sam attend school.. While we children were little, papa always helped mama a great deal with the housework. He would sweep, make beds, help can fruit and do the major part of the washing. He continued to do this until his health failed and we girls were old enough to help do it. While we lived in Redding the family spent the summers at Twin Lakes, near Santa Cruz Calif. where the Baptists at that time conducted a very fine summer Assembly. We were Pioneers, and again our parents felt the urge to move to another place. In the spring of 1894 the family moved to Hanford, Calif. Papa was the pastor of three churches at the same time. He preached at Hanford in the morning, Armona in the afternoon, and Lemore at night. On his trips to these nearby towns to preach or visit the church people, he drove a horse hitched to a small cart. The family had a flat bed two seated carriage for use when most of us went. Papa always had to keep a driving horse for his work, and it provided pleasure for the family too. The valley was only beginning to be developed and there was a small circle of fruit farms near the towns, and the rest of the valley was fields of grain. Sheep raising was a major industry, and after the grain harvest there were flocks of thousands of sheep pastured in stubble. The roads were muddy in winter and cut deep into the dust in the summer. Sometimes they were spread thick with straw in the summer to try to keep down some of the dust. Paul was born in Hanford Jan. 2,1895 and Eunice was also born in Hanford on Nov. 23,1897 The family was large and the churches were small and could not pay an adequate salary. While we lived at Hanford Papas salary was $50.00 per month, but the people were not always able to pay it and the deficit had to be forgiven. We lived at Hanford five years. Mama was not able to do all the sewing for the family, and the Ladies Aid would help her out. Mama would cut the clothes and a group of women would come and spend the day and sew. Their charge was very small and it was applied on the pastors salary. Incidentally, they all had a grand good time, and sometimes would come several weeks to get the sewing done up. I remember this both in Hanford and Selma. Bee says that she remembers this in Hanford before she went to school and thought that they called it "Ladies Aid" because they so often had lemon aid. Sam was a big boy and carried papers for Hanford Sentinal a couple of years. During the years after the family left Kansas we had been living in poor rent houses, for which we had to pay rents entirely out of line with their value or our income. Our parents were always very particular about the neighborhood in which we lived, but they could not be choosy about the house. About 1897 papa sold the house in Kansas and built our " new house" in Hanford. It was square, two story house, containing eight rooms. It was a modest house, but we felt that we were moving into a mansion. At last we had a nice home with plenty of room, and we were all very proud of it. It was while we lived here that papa bought Barney and Lucy, two young driving horses. We kept Lucy as long as she lived. She was a fine buggy horse and we loved her and abused her too. After living in the new house two years, it was time for us to move. This time the children did not like to leave our nice home. In March 1899 we moved to Selma, Calif. Papa was the pastor of the Baptist Church. *(When we were ready to leave Hanford, with all the furniture on the large wagons, Sam, with all the children except Paul and Eunice, loaded into a spring wagon to make the drive. It was a BIG adventure for us. We had to go through the river country and all of us were a little afraid. Sam had a new watch and before we reached a small store in the river bottom, the older ones decided it would be best to hide the watch and then stop and ask the time, so that nobody would suspect that Sam had one. (That is the evidence of how much we all thought it was worth. *Editors Note*) In April 28th 1899, Beulah was born in Selma, and Harold was born there on Jan 22, 1901. In Selma we lived in the parsonage, and while we lived there the Del Rey Church gave papa a new buggy to replace the old cart. Papa preached at Del Rey often on Sunday afternoons. During these years, papa not only conducted the regular services but he felt it his duty to conduct revival meetings. It was the common custom of that time for many of the protestant churches to have these meetings as a means of "saving souls" and building up the churches. One of the outstanding things about our lives was the great number of people visiting our home, people great and small, and we children met many of the outstanding church people of the time. We also saw many weddings which our father performed in our home. There were many church conventions and special meetings which were inspirational, and our father was always there and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Our fathers discipline was very severe, and our parents were at times over zealous in their desire to make us do what they felt was right. they were extremely religious, and all of their life was centered in the church. We older children were not allowed to participate in sports or school plays, but later the folks became more lenient and the rest of the family enjoyed all of those activities. While we lived in Selma Grandpa Neil gave us some money to buy an organ. Our parents thought that a piano would be much better , so they bought an old Emerson. It was a used piano but in good condition. Dora, Anna and Eva took one term of music- - about 25 lessons- - from Mrs. Joel H. Smith. By this time it was not possible for all of us to ride in the old carriage, so papa put an extra seat in it (much to our chagrin). It looked terrible, but we could all squeeze in it. We called it " The Bus" Both our father and Mother loved books, and papa had a large library which he valued very highly. It was while we lived in Selma that papa and mama decided that Christmas should be the day which all of the family should always spend together, if possible. Before that, we had always received what gifts we had on the church Christmas tree, and family Christmas tree was not an established custom until much later- - after we moved to Reedley. Papa was pastor of the Selma Church about three years, and in the fall of 1902 he became District Missionary for San Joaquin Valley Association with a Salary of $1000.00 per year. I think that there was a very small travel allowance also, but am not sure. Fresno was a more central location, so we moved again. Grandpa Neil had given Mama $500.00 and they used it to make the initial payment on the house in Fresno, at the corner of M and Ventura.(N.W. corner). Beulah died in Fresno in the winter of 1901 at about 2 1/2 years of age. The Fresno schools were exceptionally good, and we older children had the privilege of attending them. Sam had already been working some as a ranch hand and paper carrier etc. He carried for a Fresno evening paper and attended High School, then quit school to make his own way. In Dec. 1903 Papas health failed, and he was in bed for a year and a half. About this same time Grandpa Donnel died. He left a good sized estate, and papas share was between four and five thousand dollars. In the spring of 1904 the family moved to a ranch house near Selma, just south of where Anna now lives, where we lived for about six months, and in Sept. 1904 we moved to our ranch home south of Reedley, which our parents had purchased. They used part of the inheritance for the initial payment and reserved part to make some improvements on the place. They built a tank house and put water in the kitchen and bath room, paid doctor bills and hospital bills and reserved some for expenses until the crops could be made. The place was 20 acres of vines and peaches and the price was $5,600.00. We all loved our new home and all had to work very hard to make a living and try to finish paying for it. This was the family home for twenty-five years. From small children, we girls had always cut peaches in summer to earn money for clothes, and we continued to do this after we moved to Reedley. Finally, Papa was able to work again. He worked some on the ranch and also preached some after his long illness. Grandpa Neil came to live with us about 1906. After we moved to Selma in 1899, the folks had traded our house in Hanford for 160 acres of Tulare Lake land near Angiola, Calif. and about 1906 they sold it for $3000.00. The first thing we did we bought a surrey and the top buggy to take the family to church. Our parents used the money they received for the lake land to buy 40 acres of land near Reedley. They improved half of this, and several years later, after Papas death, Mama sold the unimproved half. Our vacations were usually camping trips. In earlier years we usually went to Twin Lakes, and later to the mountains. Dora attended high school one year and stayed at home and helped Mama with ever increasing work around the home. At this time there were ten in our family at home and a lot of the time a hired man at meals. We had running water , but no other modern conveniences, Dora was at home 7 1/2 years. She worked in the packing houses in the fall and the rest of the year in the home. The children were all going to school and taking an active part in sports and other activities. Anna, Eva, and Paul were taking some music lessons and all had duties at home both when in school and vacations. Sam was the first one married. He married Verena Hotchkiss of Lemore in June of 1907. Papa performed the ceremony at the Hotchkiss home near Lemore. (Ed note.) ( The family-at least part of us, hired a livery stable team and Surrey and drove over) In Dec. 1908 Papa died after years of poor health. We had our home and life went on. Mama continued to hire work done on the ranch until Paul quit school and then Mama let him run the places, and we all did all we could to help. Anna graduated from the Reedley Hi. in 1908. She stayed at home one year, worked in the packing house in fall, and married Julius Christensen, a young farmer of Selma, in May 1909. Eva and Bee graduated from Reedly Hi, in 1910. Eva stayed out of school 1 1/2 years and worked in the packing house two seasons. She saved all the money she could and borrowed the rest to go to Fresno Normal. She attended some of first classes of the school which is now Fresno State College. After graduation, she taught school until she married Lloyd Fink of Crows Landing July 2,1921. Bee went back to Reedly Hi, the next year after graduation and took commercial subjects, then went to work in the First National Bank of Reedley the following summer. She worked there until she married Ray Moncrief Oct. 13,1914 Paul quit Hi School in his senior year (reports are he jumped out the window and never came back) He started running the ranches for mama. I dont know how long Paul did this, but it was several years. Then world war 1 and soaring prices. Mama built a house for Paul over on "the other place" and he married Gladys Edwards, a lovely girl who attended Reedly High. Eunice graduated from Reedley Hi and attended Normal School in Los Angeles. She taught school until she married Sam Hines of Fresno on June 15,1921. Two weeks later, July 2, 1921 Eva married Lloyd Fink of Crows Landing, Calif. All five of us girls were married at home and all had nice little home weddings, with pretty dresses and a veil. We had dinner for those present,- the families and sometimes few friends. Grandpa Neil died July 1922 The reaction from the war boom came and Mama was not able to make the ranches pay. Paul found other work and he and his family moved away. Mama rented the ranches to other men for a few years, and then sold them, leaving very little after debts were paid. On April 3, 1926 Harold married Anna Grace Harris, and that left Mama alone, She lived on the ranch for a while, then her health was not good and she went to live with Anna and Julius about 1927, selling the ranches soon after that. In 1929 she went to San Francisco to live with Eunice. She continued to live with Eunice after they moved to Selma. After Julius died June21,1934, she lived with Anna the rest of her life. While Mama was raising her family she was too busy at home to do much Church or Sunday School work, but after the children were no longer little she began again to teach Sunday School and do more in the Missionary Societies etc. The church and her family were always her only activities, and she continued teaching sunday school and working in the Church almost to the end of her life. Mama loved the Selma Baptist Church and was proud of all the activities and was a faithful member. Throughout her life, Mama enjoyed exceptionally good health, and except for a few years in the 1920s had almost perfect health until she was eighty years of age. Mama died Aug 30, 1946 at Annas She would have been eighty six in just six weeks. Papa, Mama, and Grandpa Neil are buried in Reedly Cemetery. All eight of us children who grew to manhood and womanhood, are living at this time, December, 1946 ************************************** P.S. As I mentioned earlier, Papas salary was small, but it compared with wages and salaries of that time. People worked for very little in the early days, and as late as 1904 when we moved to Reedley, ranch hands worked for $25.oo and $30.00 per month with board and sometimes for as little as $40.00 per month and maintained their own homes. *************************************** Samuel William Donnel Was born in Shelby Co.

"Bee" *************** MOTHER ************* " I know not what the long years hold Of winter days or summer clime, But this I know, when life grows old It shall be light at eventime. I can not tell what boon awaits to greet me with the failing night But this I know, beyond the gate At evening time, it shall be light" found in Mothers bible Author Unknown by me. _____________________________________________ About 7 p.m. on Aug. 30th, 1946, our sweet little mother and Grandmother, closed her eyes to our world and went to sleep. Eva, Eunice, Anna and I stood beside her bed, and when it was all over Aunt Anna expressed our feelings when she said quietly. " Thats all right, Mother, Now you can rest." You all know that mother had been going down hill gradually for the last few years, but in May, the process became a definite break. By the middle of August, we knew it could not be long, and from that point on, every breath was a struggle. Her mind appeared to remain clear almost to the very end, although she had periods of illusion. She seemed unable to speak for the last two weeks and she was in semi-coma for the last few days. The end was peaceful, - just a cessation of her labored breathing-- as we hoped it would be. We took her to her beloved church in Selma for the final services and we laid her to rest in Reedly Cemetery, beside her Father and Our Father. Rev. Claude Neal, a Selma pastor conducted the service, based on the little poem printed above which we found in Mothers Bible. He also used Mothers favorite Bible verses which she had writted out several months ago. Ruth did a hard, but lovely thing for mother by singing the beautiful. " Let not your hearts be troubled, My Peace I give unto you" This was also among Mothers favorite verses. Ruth also sang " The Lords Prayer." I know Mother would have liked that. Mother was so far above most humans in character accomplishment that it is hard to think of her without a humble prayer. In the hard years of her life she learned to put "first things first" and keep them there. So she developed a quiet calmness in the face of adversity, that kept her cheerful, calm and content in whatever condition she found herself. She lived (not theorized) about the life of love so fully that after I grew to maturity I have NEVER heard mother use harsh criticism toward any human being, not even us, her children, who often needed and deserved criticism. She was patient and understanding, often remaining quiet while we "spouted" when she would love to talk too. She continued to be "useful" almost to the very end because she could always find some way to say she loved us. By her life she directed us to " Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the Presence of His glory with exceeding JOY." She had an exceptional sense of humor, and a "good sport" to the "n-th" degree Not only could mother laugh with us, but she could accept what seemed best. with her head high regardless of the circumstances. A little more than a year before her death when she had the operation for cancer, she did not let us know until it was over that she had understood all along that her chances at her age were slim. Then and only then when it was over , she said "I reasoned it out this way, I have had a good life and a long life. If you who loved me, thought it was best, then it must be best, and regardless of the consequences, it is all right." It would be hard not to believe in immortality when we look at a life like Mothers. Her beautiful personality must go on somewhere, as she goes back to Him who gave her to us as our Mother. But she must also live again in the beauty of our lives. So shall her spirit be eternal here also. Her tired little body we have given back to the earth, I think She would like this; I know not what of life may wait for me Beyond the portals that men pass at death; I know not if my soul shall feel more free If it be clothed in form that needs not breath. I care not that I leave this flesh behind; I would not have you grieve that it must go Back to the dust, for only then I find my resurrection in a FORM I know. So. let this body rest close to earths heart And as it falls to dust, I then shall be Of this old earth, so imitate a part That I shall live through all eternity, And may you find me in a form man knows, The strength of oaks--- The beauty of the rose. aHumbly "Bee"
