A childhood friend of Margie exchanged these email messages with me:
Back in the late 30's, I went to school in Lebanon, Mo., with a young lady named Margie O'Neal. She had several brothers and sisters, at least some of them older than she. Her dad and my dad worked together for an oil pipeline company.
When we were in 8th grade, her father died. I am not sure what happened to the family after that. We moved away a year or two later.
I know they were from Limestone Co, Texas, which also was my mother's home. The school we attended had a plaque in honor of the man for whom it was named -- and his middle name was Groesbeck. Margie and I used to laugh about it, because both of our grandmothers lived in a town called Groesbeck.
Anyone have any idea what happened to this family and to Margie?

Hi Joan,
Our Margie was born in 1924 and her father who was in the oil fields died in 1938. The family moved back to Limestone Co. where Grandma Clarinda remarried a man named Keys.
Margie married Jimmie Kays and they had three children. I'm not sure whether Jimmie died, or if they divorced - but Margie married again to Sherman Irish and had four more children.
Sadly, Aunt Margie died in 1997. Do those years match up? Is this your friend? I would love to have some reminisces about her if possible.

Yes, it is, it is!
I am sure that was Margie who went to school with me in Lebanon, Mo. I was born in 1925 -- and was the youngest in the class.
Both our dads worked for the Ajax Pipe Line Co., which pumped oil from near Tulsa, OK (where I live now) to Wood River, Ill. Most Ajaxers had been transferred to that company from Humble Oil in Texas.
We were transferred to Lebanon in 1936 just before school started for our eighth grade year. We lived in the camp, about six miles from Lebanon. I think the O'Neals had lived out there earlier, but had moved into town by the time we arrived. The houses were small and may not have had enough room for their family.
It is a little hazy in my mind, but I think there was another Ajax family with many kids who had lived there in camp also, and I cannot remember if we moved into the house in which they had lived or in which the O'Neals had lived. One family had two boys named Buck and Mervin, and I am not sure if they were O'Neals or the other one. The only memory I have for sure of Margie's brothers -- one was very slender and not very strong. He went out for track, but he was not as strong as the other boys. At a lengthy race, maybe a mile in length, he came in last. But what I remember was, he did not give up. He was nowhere near the others, either teammates or competitors, but he just kept running until he crossed the finish line where he nearly collapsed. And he got a great round of applause. It was a good lesson in never-give-up.
When we finished eighth grade, we had a formal graduation ceremony and we girls wore long dresses. Mine was pink organdy which I considered very definitely "little girlish." Most of the others also wore pastels, many organdy. Margie, however, had a long slim dress of toast brown crepe. It had a princess skirt which sort of "flowed." We all thought she looked so sophisticated. She was a small girl, smaller than I, with short blond hair and a winsome smile.
We were in high school the next spring when her father died. I remember Margie was standing in the lobby of the two-story building, looking sort of alone and her eyes were red. She evidently had been crying. I went up to her and asked her what was wrong, and she said, "Didn't you know? My Daddy died."
It was the first time I had come face to face with someone coping with death and I did not know what to say. I don't know what I did say, I probably just mumbled something because I was not very socially adept at the time. But I have never forgotten it.
And those two memories of Margie -- in her toast brown crepe dress and the other with her red eyes -- are very much with me after more than 60 years.
How strange that I should connect with you, and with her, after all these years. Isn't the Internet incredible?
love
joan
Yes, the Internet IS a wonderful place. I have been in touch with other people who turn out to be cousins I never knew I had. I think this whole story is pretty amazing.
I have to think that the brother who ran would have been Frank Jr. He was 3 years younger than Margie. Her other brothers were much older - by at least 6 years. She has one sibling who is still alive - Odis "Curly". Her father was Frank and I was told he had a heart attack. At the time of his death his oldest son Milton "Peewee" was also working on the pipeline and was starting a family. My mother-in-law was born in Lebanon four years before her grandfather Frank died.
I went to school with Frank Jr's boys in the 70s. They were such nice young men and two of them still go to my mother's church. As a matter of fact, the oldest (Frank III) married the eldest daughter of my mother's best friend. Frank and Brenda (his wife) were my best friends in the 9th grade even though they were a few years older. I met Jack (my husband) in 1989 and he told me that Frank was his cousin. I thought it pretty funny then since I had had a crush on Franks' brother in high school.
So, with all the coincidences of your meeting Margie and finding out you had similar roots - with me going to school with Frank's boys - then I marry their cousin's son - and finally you send a note to the mailing list I JUST joined. There are a lot of coincidences there. I was very surprised when I read your note, I just knew it had to be Aunt Margie.

A copy of a letter I have in my possession states the following: Philip T. Burford was born June 29, 1783 in Warren County, North Carolina. While a resident of Warren County, Philip T. Burford volunteered March 1, 1780 and served as Purchasing Commissary and Wagonmaster, under Nicholas Lon, Quartermaster General of the State of North Carolina, until sometime in October, 1781. He served from October 15, 1781 as lieutenant, three months in Colonel William Linton's North Carolina Regiment, in an expedition against the Tories. He moved about 1793 from North Carolina to Kershaw District, South Carolina, where he lived seven years, then to Franklin County, Georgia and lived three years, to Haywood County, North Carolina, lived eight or nine years, thence to Bedford County, Tennessee. Philip T. Burford was allowed pension on his application executed August 8, 1833, then a resident of Bedford County, Tennessee.

A Eulogy on William Pepperrell Mellen
"William Pepperrell Mellen - Past Grand Master Mason of the state of Mississippi, born at Dover, New Hampshire July 18th, 1806. Delivered before a lodge of sorrow held by the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, at St Louis, Missouri September 18th, 1868. By Giles M Hillyez, 33rd. Grand Minister of the State.
"His ancestors were English, reaching by his mother's side to the earliest settlers of New England. He settled in 1825 at Natchez and engaged at once in mercantile pursuits, but abandoned them in 1932 for a literary and professional career. In 1833 he began the publication of the Natchez Courier, a paper still in existence. He represented the City of Natchez in the state legislature up to 1838.
"He married a Southern woman and a family of nine children surrounded them.
"In July of 1863 our illustrious brother left Natchez, anticipating its occupancy by Northern Troops. Returning from Texas in 1864, when on the Bayou Macon in Chicou County, Arkansas, he was stricken and died November 7th, 1864. In 1866 his remains were taken to Natchez where he lies at rest in the cemetery on the very brow of the grand Mississippi River." | MELLEN, William Pepperell (I2807)

A lot of the information on Fred is a compilation of many things I've noticed while researching his family. I'm not 100% positive that the Catherine to whom he is married in 1900 and 1905 is Catherine Bell. I'm not 100% positive that the Fred born on April 17 and baptized at St Luke on May 8 is our Fred.
We can surmise that Fred was a co-worker to Franklin Stevens (both bookbinders - future brothers-in-law) and was needing a place to live. Having just lost John and needing income, Mary offered Fred housing with the Leaycrafts where he met Julia. | BENNETT, Frank Frederick (I22150)

A MAN OF NERVE
The recent death of Mr. Albert Mellen at Dallas, Texas, recalls a striking incident of the war of the rebellion. Albert Mellen was a man of nerve. He was taken prisoner by the federal army at Vicksburg in 1864, when he was 24 years of age. He was ordered out for fortification work, under a negro guard. He claimed exemption as a prisoner, and refused to go. A squad of negro soldiers, under a white lieutenant, was sent to coerce him with bayonets. He looked a moment at the squad, and saw that they meant to impale him if he did not obey the order. His situation demanded quickness and decision. He seized a hatchet lying near - as Virginius snatched a knife from the butcher's stall - and suddenly kneeling down on the floor of his prison laid out his left arm, and with two brave strokes severed his hand completely from the arm. He then rose and shook the bleeding stump in the face of the lieutenant. He did not go to the fortification. He beat the lieutenant and his negroes, and what is more, he never regretted the act. which made him a permanent cripple. | MELLEN, Albert Moore (I6342)

A Story about My great-great grandfather:
Walter was known for many years as Bernard. His mother (Olive) and her sister (Ida) both gave birth within two days of each other. They decided to call them by their middle names because they were "so close to being twins"; Walter "Bernard" Ashby, born 1 Mar 1911, and Grace "Bernice" Lukehart, born 3 Mar 1911. Walt was named after his father, but he was never known as Jr. If the term "quality" is ever used to describe a man, it is truly appropriate for Walt Ashby. As with any man, the trials of life are difficult, but great strength of character, sense of humor, determination (maybe a bit of stubborness), morality, and truth were the guidelines of his life. His gentleness is demonstrated with his love for children and animals, as well as a giving nature. Responsible is a term that under estimates his passionate resolve for honesty and loyalty. He is of the "old school" where his word is law and he would never break a trust. Firm when he has to be, gentle when need be, and always a sense of humor (perhaps evolved from his rich Irish/Scottish heritage). He loves to surprise with a kindly gesture, and a twinkle in his eye (yes, truly a twinkle). I will never forget the time I was a struggling single parent and my car did not pass inspection, the cause being worn tires. My father insisted I drive his car to work the next day because my tires were unsafe. When I arrived home my father was standing in the driveway watching for me with that familiar grin and eyes twinkling. There was my car with four new tires--it passed inspection! When children, we often had a friend over for dinner. We would always seat her next to Dad because we knew he teased whoever sat by him; we giggled our heads off throughout the meal. Too few examples of the many, many kindnesses and heart-warming remembrances of this man, my Dad. Walter and Olive Ashby--One of the events oldest son Jim likes to recall about his dad, Walter Ashby, is the day he came home with his first car. "I don't think Dad had ever driven a car before," Jim said. "We were all out in the pasture (at the homestead near Burdett) watching for him to come from Yuma with the Model T. When we saw him coming across the prairie, he was sitting very straight and very proud. But by the time he came to the gate near our house, he was hollering "Whoa, Whoa," and the Model T tore right through the wire fence." It was one of many fun times for the family after they arrived in Colorado in 1908. Walter Ashby was born Oct. 25, 1874, at Sloan, Iowa, the son of William and Eliza Farley Ashby. Florence Olive Dee was born May 2, 1891, in Guthrie Center, Iowa, the daughter of James and Nancy Emeline McGhee Dee. Walter and Olive were married Dec. 20, 1906 [sic], in Sioux City, Iowa, and came to the Burdett community two years later. They moved to Sterling in 1917 where Walt was employed by Great Western Sugar Co. He retired from the sugar company in 1940. Walt died Sept. 10, 1953, and Mrs. Ashby passed away May 28, 1971. Their children were sons James, Harold, Walter Bernard and Elton and daughters Erma Curtis and Leona Reese. Two children died in infancy. (This obit and death record lists place of birth as Sloan, Iowa; however, a copy of Walter's birth record lists Tama, Iowa, as place of birth. This coincides with census dates and birth place of siblings and parents) WALT ASHBY HOMESTEAD PATENT: SW Section 19, Township 5 N, Range 49W. Serial No. 0 7507 Excerpt from WASHINGTON COUNTY COLORADO BOOK 1989--by Arlene Glenn:
"West 28 or Pleasant View School was begun in 1909. They first had school in the Jim Williams homestead shack, a two-room sod house, located on the southeast quarter of Section 19. Then Walt Ashby donated the northwest corner of land in Section 19. The school was built there about 1910. The school burned down in 1916 and a new one was erected in 1917. Both East 28 and West 28 schools were closed in 1922 when patrons voted to unite and form one school on the present Lone Star School grounds." Letter from Betty Jones Snow (MY GRANDMOTHER) dated 7 May 2001. Betty was raised by Walter and "Ollie" ". . . after Daddy & Mom (Walt and Olive) were married. | ASHBY, Walter Bernard (I5135)
