Notes

NI0032] The Seibel Family is of German heritage, German their native language. They were originally from Germany. They migrated to South Russia during the reign of Catherine the Great, who ruled Russia from 1762 to 1796. In 1783, Catherine annexed Crimea, and since she was originally a German princess, she sent a declaration to people in Germany offering them land in Crimea to any who wanted to start a new life. It is believed that between 1783 and 1796 this line of the Seibel Family migrated to Russia. It is believed that Konrad was born in Crimea and his father was the one who first migrated to Crimea. His name is unknown at this time.

NI0038] In March of 1893, Karl and his family immigrated from South Russia to the U.S. The first part of the journey was by way of wagon from Demesch to Byten. Then by train to Bremerhaven, Germany, a five day trip. They sat on their baggage in a box car. On March 31 in Bremerhaven, Charlotte was born. This caused them to miss their boat and it was 11 days until another boat sailed. They lived in the ship company's lodging house until they sailed. The steamship agent was Fredrich Missler.

They sailed on the steam ship "Maine", a trip that took 13 days. They landed in New York City, went through Ellis Island and immediately left by train for Wittenberg, Hutchinson County, South Dakota.

The next spring, 1894, they boarded a train for Colorado looking for homestead land. They decided on 160 acres northwest of Burlington, Colorado. But due to adverse conditions they decided to return to South Dakota. This trip took 10 days to cover the 400 miles back to Wittenburg.

In March of 1895, they decided to return to Russia. Instead of farming, Karl became a trader, trading farmer's produce and animals from Demesch to Sevastopol and bringing back seafood to Demesch.

In 1903, they decided to return to America. The Russo-Japanese War being a factor in the decision. They took the same route they took in 1893. But the final destination was Sykeston, North Dakota where Karl's brother, Ludwig, lived. They moved to McClusky, North Dakota the next spring, remaining there until 1922. Then they made the move to Booker, Texas.

Henry Jackson is the twin of Richard Jefferson

NI0444] During the time that Jim (Uncle Jimmy) was Superintendent of Bethel School, his grandson James A. "Boots" Ketchum and Mary George Burns (who later became Boots' wife) were students there. Mary does not remember seeing a fountain pen nor any other type of ink pen at the school; neither was there any carbon paper or typewriter. The students used round cedar pencils and Big Chief tablets. Erasers came separate from the pencils and were forced onto the tops of the pencils. They also used chalk and slates. Some of the chalk was wide and flat, some round but smaller than the pencils. There were large blackboards on the walls. The school accommodated one teacher at a time, and about fifty students (kindergarten through the eighth grade). William Isaac Burns (Mary George Burns's father) was a member of the school board during that time.

NI0521] James Artice and Mary were married in Ryan, Ok, worked around Nellie, OK, then for the railroad for a short while. Worked for an oil company during the oil boom at Burkburnette, TX, then back to Sterling, where William was born. Moved to Oil City, near Rock Creek and Nellie, and worked for an oil company when Cecil was born. In 1922, worked for the Coline Oil Co. when J.A. got into a fight with his farm boss, a man named Wright, and was fired. Went to work for the Gypsy Oil Co., also near Oil City, OK. Then they moved in 1922 to a house next door to Florence and Festus G. Sparlin (Mary's sister), about 2 or 3 miles from town.

In 1923, they moved to Tuckertown, near Corsicana, Navarro Co., TX for another oil boom. Both boys started to school there at Mildred School. Mildred is a tiny town near Corsicana. Remained in Navarro Co. until 1931 when Humble Oil and Refining Co. (now Exxon) transferred them to Joinerville, TX, where the East Texas oil boom was underway. Worked there, living in company housing on the L. E. Coolidge Lease for many years, until retirement. Then they moved into Overton.

NI0937] Robert Lee Williford changed the spelling of "Willeford" to "Williford" when while in the military, the military misspelled the name and he never changed it. (Info provided by daughter Judith and brother Jimmy Willeford).

NI0990] The following is an excerpt about Era Cleffie Pollock from a story published in The Duncan Banner Newspaper on Sunday, March 4, 1984, written by Bill Orndorff:

If you ask Cleffie Landers about her secret for long life, she'll tell you "Working, eating right and never drinking anything wrong. I don't even drink pop. Drinking gets you into trouble."

Mrs. Landers, 85, continues to care for herself in her two-bedroom home, drives her own car and attend church at the First United Methodist Church. At the request of her children and grandchildren, she recently wrote about herself for posterity. An excerpt from her history has been published in a Chickasha newspaper in the "Adventures in the Four-Mile Strip" column.

Born Era Cleffie Pollock ("I was named after a schoolteacher") on Dec. 25, 1898, in Sharp County, Ark., Mrs. Landers has lived most of her life in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. Her family moved to Texas when she was 5 or 6 years old, where her father farmed near Clarksville in Red River County.

Mrs. Landers was one of eight children - a fact that kept her busy as a child. "We always had something to do," she said. "I had to stay home and help with the farm and laundry. I only completed the eighth grade. I was going to go back to school with my husband, but I felt that raising my children was more important. I should have gone back, but I didn't."

Of the eight children - Cleffie, Elvia, Clara, Vera, Jessie, Lorena, Edgar and Curtis - only the five girls are alive today [in 1984]. Clara lives in Sacramento, Calif., while Vera is in Smyers, Texas, and Elvia lives in Hobart. Lorena Mitchell and Cleffie Landers both live in Duncan, [OK].

One of the most vivid memories Mrs. Landers has of her childhood is crossing the Red River on a flat boat in 1916. "Papa made a good crop that year, so he decided to come back to Oklahoma. When we got to the Red River we had to cross over on a big, flat boat," she said. "The river wasn't Rough, but there was a lot of water. We crossed near Ringling - there weren't any bridges for us to cross. The boat took one wagon at a time - I don't think the man charged us to cross. Some more folks was ahead of us, and when they got off the boat, their mules went down in quicksand. The man got one of them out by cutting him loose from the wagon. We just knew we were going to go down too, and we kids were scared. Papa drove a little north of where this man did, so we made it fine with our wagon and two mules. We were still scared, though."

The family [first settled in] the Duncan area, staying in a wagon yard on east Main Street, then later rented a log house in the Liberty Community, 1 mile west and 1/2 mile south of Liberty School. "The house had 3 or 4 rooms - it took a big one to hold all of us. Its been torn down since we lived in it," she said.

As a girl of 18, Mrs. Landers met the man she would soon marry while visiting with a neighbor family, the Pembertons.

"Mr Landers had come to visit the Pemberton boys who were his friends. They were having an Easter egg hunt," she said. "I was trying to leave, but they wouldn't let me. They wanted me to meet him. I guess they got me in trouble or out of trouble. I don't know which."

The couple started dating each other, in the good old fashioned way, taking the buggy into Duncan to see the silent movies at the Palace and the Ritz Theaters. On July 7, 1917, the couple got married in front of Liberty School.

"They were having church services there that night," she said. "We were going to get married at home the next day, and we went by the school. Everyone kept saying we should get married then, so after the service was over, we told Rev. Boswell that we wanted him to marry us. He told us to wait until after everyone had gone home, then he married us in our buggy. We went inside and signed the license. My brother Edgar, his niece Ella Landers and the preachers wife were our witnesses."

Cleffie was 19 and Jesse was 21.

Soon after, the couple lived all over the Stephens County area, as he taught at Summerdale, Fairview, Hope, Liberty, Oak Cliff, Willow Point, Beaver and other schools in the area.

"He taught all subjects, and usually had students in grades 5 to 8. He taught elementary school at Medicine Park in his last year of teaching."

The couple had three boys, one of which died as a baby, and three girls - J.C., Margie, Evelyn, Geneva and Dale.

Landers taught for 21 years, then quit to work for another 21 years for the Soil Conservation Service. He also built houses in Duncan, among them the one Mrs. Landers still lives in at 607 S. 9th.

"I'd pick him up from work, then we'd go and build one of the houses," she said. "I drove as many nails as he did, and helped him shingle the roof. I did most of the nailing on the exterior, then cleaned up afterward."

The couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary before Jesse died in 1976.

Mrs. Landers continues to stay active, and goes out weekdays to eat meals at the nutrition site. She also maintains her hobbies of reading, crocheting and hook-and-latch work. She is frequently visited by her children, her 17 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and one-great-great-grandchild.

"So many people tell me they get tired of staring at the four walls," she said. "I tell them to get busy and quit letting themselves get lonesome."

NI0995] The following is a personal account Loreva wrote about her life on August 14, 1987.


My Growing Up Years

"I Loreva Gertrude Pollock was borned Nov. 24 1915 Thanksgiving day near Clarksville Texas to Isac Jackson and Ida Mae Nelson Pollock. I had two brothers Edgar and Curtis, had five sisters Cleffie,Elva, Clara, Vera, Jessie.,and me. We lived on a farm when I was growing up, Dad always made good crops back when times were hard. We always had food on teh table as we raised our own, people in town had hard times trying to find work to make a living. Dad wouldn't stay in one place long sure got tired moveing from farm to farm. I had rather work in the fieldss picking cotton gathering corn milking cows then doing housework. We churned our own butter from our cream sure was good, also made cottage cheese out of clabber milk. [B]ack then we didn't have refrigerators and before they came out with ice we'd put our milk in a pail on a rope down in the well to keep it cool also we would build a frame outside our kitchen window and put a wet tarpe around it to keep our milk and butter cool[. F]inally they got to making ice so we would have the ice man to deliver us 50 lbs. of ice he would deliver in the country we sure got tired of emptying the pan under the wooden ice box] the water would drain in the pan as the ice melted but we sure was proud of the ice box. The only thing I could really cook was a chocklate cake. I always made one when we had company we had relatives nearly every week end. My niece Margie Landers Condit how would visit with her family she still brags about my chocklate cake I made then. My sister Elva married and had a baby girl Lucille after my sister and her husband separated they lived with us. Lucille and I grew up like sisters, every time one of us got mumps or chicken pox the other one would catch them we spent a lot of time in bed fighting and teasing each other. I started school in Duncan Okla. We lived around there several years. My older brother Edgar married when I was very young. I don't remember him getting married he was in service a while when he got out he married and they moved to California so I didn't see them often, also Cleffie had married before Elva did, I don't remember them getting married either I was very young. Dad decided to move to Sulphur Okla. My mother, my niece Lucille, the truck driver and I moved in a truck. My four sisters brothers and Dad went in wagons. I remember when we arrived in Sulphur the truck driver stopped to inquire about directions to our farm and I fainted and slid down the truck door, my niece Lucille ran to the house to get help, the lady and truck driver came running with some water. We went on down a way to our farm dad had rented and my sister Vera came running to meet us and told us she had fainted that night when they camped out she fell backwards and hit her head on a rock her head was sore quiet a while. We lived at Sulphur several years. My sister Clara married there also Elva married again while we lived there. We moved back to Duncan and my brother Curtis married also my sister Vera eloped. I'll never forget when she eloped. Dad was going to find her and bring her back home. Dad got my Uncle Marvin and Aunt Rachel. Mother Aunt Rachel and I got in the back seat of the car and Dad and Uncle Marvin set in front. We started out to find her. We drove around for a while, we saw a car coming towards us. Mother and I saw it was Vera and her husband she had already gotten married. We didn't say any thing to Dad he didn't see her. We drove around a while longer. Mother knew my sister would just run off again if they caught her, we never did tell Dad we'd met them, they married young back then, she was fifteen. We finally moved to Comanche Okla a half mile north of town. We always called it the little red house on the little red hill as it sat upon a hill. I quit school there, I was in the seventh grade. You didn't have to go to school back then or the parents didn't make you, I had lots of good memories there. Jessie and I were the only ones at home then. When she started dating she and I went together a lot. Dad wouldn't let me go with a boy by myself. People had dances and parties in their homes. We had parties and some older people would come and play dominoes with Dad and Mother while we were having our party. Dad wouldn't let us go to dances but Mother had rather for us to go to dances than parties, at dances you stayed in the house but parties you'd play games that you'd have to go around the house with a boy or spin the bottle and it if stops in front of you he would kiss you also post office a boy would kiss you. We would always tell Mother where we were going whether to a dance or a party but we'd tell Dad it was a party. We always had a bunch at our house on Sunday and to stay all nite. We had pallets all over the house but that was the good times to visit our kin folks. Mother, Jessie and I would go to church on Sundays. Mother envited the Preacher and his wife for Sunday dinner once, we had a cat and it had gotten in the house as we were eating, I got up and took after it trying to catch it. I got mad and said that darn car in front of the Preacher, boy was my face red. Mother said something to me, then we went ahead with our meal. My sister Jessie got married at Comanche, she married Leo Lacombe, he was in the service at Fort Sill. They lived with us after he got out of the army and helped us farm. We moved southwest of Duncan, sometime he and I would work in the field together. One day we were gathering corn. We'd take five rows at a time, he would take two and I'd take two, we would both gather the one row. So one day he got ahead of me and I'd throw a ear of corn and miss the wagon and hit the mules. Dad always had a good team of mules, so the mules would take off. My brother in law got mad and took off with the wagon to the house. He was a frenchman and had a temper. My sister came out of the house and got us straightened out, but she went and helped him finish the wagon load. I wouldn't go help them. Mother wasn't well when we moved from that place. We moved north east of Duncan and she got worse and passed away. My sister Elva and her husband Claude Rouse rented the farm from Dad. We stayed with them a while then we moved to Duncan, he got a job night watching or night watchman. I worked at the county court house. I got acquainted with a girl down the street, Mary Smith. We were friends until I married. One day she and I went to the park by the swimming pool and two guys drove up and started talking to us, they were in service from Fort Sill. They were Jimmie Carpenter and Forrest Houtze. She went with Jimmie and I went with Forrest. We made a date to go dancing. They had a platform south of town and they would have dances on it. A bunch of us would go out there to dance. Jimmie went with Mary a while, he went by Jim in later years. Finally he started asking me to go with him so I quit Forrest and started goinng with him. We went together 3 months and married Oct 14, 1936. we lived together 24 years and had three children Jimmie Sue, Donald Gene, and Joe Edward. We lost Donald Nov 3, 1957. I stayed single eleven years, dated a lot, had several chances to marry but until I met Joe Samuel Mitchell I wasn't interested in marr[y]ing anyone. Joe and I married Sept 23, 1972. We lived together 14 years. He passed away Nov 17 1986, age 76 years. He had three children two boys and a girl, she passed away before he did. Both of us had grandchildren and great grandchildren, which I thought a lot of his and he felt the same about mine. I still keep in touch with his family. Now I am on my own if I find some one that was as good to me as Joe was, I might marry again but they are hard to come by like him. I just hope my kids grandchildren also great grandchildren dont go through a depression and hard times as I have seen. We had happy times and memories on the farm. All in all I guess my life has been happy and full."

NI1391] The following is answers Roddy Anthony provided to the authors of "The Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionnaires"

At the time of the questionnaire, he lived in Tullahoma, Tenn. Route 1. He was 80 yr. and 10 months old. He was born on the waters of Thompson's Creek, Bedford Co., TN in 1841. He was living in Franklin Co., now part of Moore Co., TN when he enlisted in the service of the Confederacy. Before the war he was a miller and farmer. His father was a traveling minister in the Tennessee Conference. Roddy did not own any land at the start of the war. Neither his parents or himself owned any slaves. His parents owned 110 acres of land valued at $1500 when the war started. They lived in a frame house with 6 rooms. When he was young, Roddy plowed, hoed, cradled, ran a saw mill and griss mill. His father farmed when he wasn't on the preaching circuit. His mother "done" cooking, spinning, weaving cutting and making clothes. His parents did not have any servants. The community held all work with honor and high respect. All white men in the community engaged in work, none of them led lives of idleness. Roddy said that the men of the community that owned slaves did not feel better than anyone else. Slaveholders and non-slaveholders mingled on an equal basis. Everyone was sympathetic to each other. Slaves had no influence in the political process. Roddy stated that all industrious young men had to do to make something of themselves was to show an industrious will, they weren't discouraged by slaveholders. Roddy attended a public free school, the only school in the community, for 24 months "for as my memory alow". The school ran for 2 1/2 to 3 months of the year. The school was at the door until he moved away then it was 2 miles away. School was not attended regularly by the children of the community. The teacher was a man, people didn't think a woman could teach in "them" days.

Roddy enlisted in the Confederate army in April, 1861 in Winchester, Franklin Co., TN. He served under Peter Tuney, 1st Tennessee ("The 1st Confederate"). His company was sent to Richmond, Virginia first. It was a little over a year before they were engaged in battle, the first being the Seven Pine below Richmond. The following is Roddy's experience in the war:
I lived in camp all right nothing to complain of. Very well clothed in camp. slept on our blanket some time cold some time warm had beef and flour bred had very little corn bread. Some of the boy complained of getting hungry but I never but one time when we were on our retrea[t] from Richmond to Yorktown. We had to take soldiers life in cold and disease. I was in hospital with attack of Rheumatism and Jaundice something like a month with reasonable treatment at Lynchburg Virginia (1862). I was in hospital while in prison at Fort Deleware with small pox about 40 days very roughly treated but got over it. This is my prison life in full. After the battle of Manna we went to Camp fisher on the Potomac river were were not in this battle (but) was on the battle field wintered and drilled. After Seven Pine the big battle below Richmond lasting several days. Cedar Run (in Virginia) Sharpburg, Maryland, Fredrickburg, VA., Chancelsville, VA Gettysburg, Penn. Captured there on the 3 of July 1863 placed in Fort Deleware prison till June 8, 1865 released on parole and sent home. Came on the train to Tullahoma transportation furnished free. W.A. Marshall and my self came on the same transportation from Fort Deleware home. I got home on the 10 of June.

After the war, Roddy was a carpenter doing cabinetry. He lived in Wartrace for 7 years. After the death of his father, he bought a place in Moore County. He attended the Methodist Church and served as a justice of the peace for two terms. He listed his father's name as William "Harris" Anthony. Brother James listed the name as William "Horace". Roddy's mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Pollock, daughter of John and Alsey Pollock who lived near Roseville in Bedford Co. He agreed with Robert that his paternal grandparents were German, living and dying in Tennessee. His stated that his mother's people came from Pennsylvania and they were from Ireland.

NI1392] According to brother James' answer in "The Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionnaires" Nicholas Anthony volunteered in a confederate regiment in 1862 serving only a few months and was discharged due to a disability.

NI1393] The following is James Frederick Anthony's answers taken from "The Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionnaires" by Gustavus W. Dyer and John Trotwood Moore (1922):

"My name is James Frederick Anthony, at the time living in Bell Buckle, Tenn, 76 1/2 yrs. old. I was born in Franklin Co., TN. A confederate soldier in Company B - 28 Tennessee Cavalry. My father was old style Methodist Circuit rider.....my father being a minister had often as many as 15 churches under his charge and preached every day in the week and so of course was at home less than 1/3 of his time. While Father was gone, Mother had charge of her six boys, did all the house work, carded and spun and wove and would cut and make the clothes for her family, including her own, doing the sewing with her fingers. She never used a sewing machine in her life. They had no servants.....I went to school two or three months every fall - advanced rapidly - had completed the Bluebacked Speller at 14. School was about three miles [away].....I enlisted in the Confederate army in November 1864 and was sworn in the woods in Lincoln county in company B 28th Tenn. Cavalry, Capt. Reed Holmer, Major Jordan Hayes Battallion; Brig. Gen. B.J. Hill. [Our company was first sent] to Follow Hood's army out of Tennessee but got cut off. We turned back and went out through East Tenn. Our company was in only one regular battle and I was 30 miles away with a scouting party at the time. I was always with a scouting party - Our battles were "shoot and run" but we did not always work in the lead. I was cook for my mess and I will tell how the best bread I ever ate was made. The boys got the meal and of course it was not sifted but I spread an oil cloth on the ground, put the meal on it, took a canteen of good branch water, poured it on the meal and worked it to the right consistency. Took a flat rail, rolled out my dodgers and filled my rail full. Sat it up before the fire until it toasted brown on one side - then turned the bread over & toasted the other side - of course there was some in the middle not quite done...But we had appetites and I want to say I never in all my life ate batter bread. And we ate hundreds of meals of just such bread and nothing else and this is to some extent how we lived in camp. Our uniforms were uniform ragged! There was no two suits alike. We had rags of all sizes, rags of all shapes, rags of all colors, texture and makes; rags of bright colors and gloomy ones too; rags of all shades the world ever knew. "Rummage amongst them and twist them around; But a suit that will please you can never be found!" I was paroled in Chattanooga on the 16th day of May 1865. I have my parole now. We were discharged about sundown and given transportation to Tullahoma on a freight car. We climbed on the top and laid down and were soon asleep. The train either stopped or ran very very low for we were only about 30 miles from Chattanooga when daylight came. We landed at Tullahoma about two o'clock - walked six miles home, from there and found the whole family down with small pox - could not go in the yard - slept a whole week under a shade tree - But oh! how thankful I could see and talk to my mother. [Since the close of the war] being under age I was subject to my father's demands for two years. He sent me to school for ten months which is practically all the education I ever got. My life since the war has varied but slightly from the general run of Confederate soldiers. The war taught me that a man could do without everything he couldn't get so I took as my motto "Pay as you go and when you can't pay don't go." I don't only preach this but I practice it. My estate is not large but it is worth one hundred cents on the dollar. I have had nine children born to me, six of whom were raised to maturity - Five of them are now living and to my credit - there is not one of them has ever served term in the penitentiary yet. I never held an office. I ran for a county office once and I didn't think I had an enemy in the world. When the votes were counted I concluded my friends were "darned nigh" as scarce as my enemies. However "Alls well that ends well" and I have no fears for the rest of my allotted time for I can say with the poet in all sincerity, 'What ever my lot, thou has taught me to say it is well, it is well with my soul.'"

The following was sent to the authors on Mar 17, 1922:

"...In the fall of '64, Maj. Jordan Hayes had instructions to raise a battalion of cavalry, he raised three companies of perhaps 50 men each. - or boys, I should say - for there were not sufficient whiskers in the entire bunch to line a birds nest. We attempted to go out with Hood's army but were cut off - we turned and went out through East Tenn. and into North Carolina across South Carolina and across Georgia below Atlanta into Alabama, to a point on Coosa River some miles below Gadsden, where we were when the war ended. We broke camp there May 15th 1865 and were paroled in Chattanooga on the 16th and come into Tullahoma in a box car - upright however - on the 17th. I make no claim to any heroic deeds, but am entitled perhaps to one distinction, I belong to a family whose father and four sons all served in the Confederate army and were all honorably discharged - the three oldest served or two of them at least, served in the first regiment made up in the state and I, the youngest - in the very last command made up in the Confederacy and perhaps the last whole command paroled."

Once..., Grandpa told of how the enemies took their food, horses, and supplies and left them with almost nothing. Growing up in Civil War times was very difficult. He learned how to plow in the new ground with a homemade double shovel and using the blind mare. The corn he grew was made into cornmeal and was mostly the staff of life. Grandpa had a great love of life and worked and earned his living by the sweat of his brow.

Murray and Maurice Gotcher were twins. Their father was a Doctor. When Murray and Maurice were 6 weeks old a neighbor lady came to see the new baby twins and with her she brought her little children. Her children had the Whooping Cough and the Twins both took it and Maurice died.

Murray's father, Dr. Gotcher, died when Murray was only five years old. He remembered being at his father's sick bed and his father told him that if he would follow the way of the Bible that he would always be alright. Murray took Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour when he was 24 years old and Grandmother Mary, or Mimmie as we all knew her said he stayed up all night long excitedly telling about it until the sun came up the next morning. He was a kind, gentle, loving man that dedicated the rest of his life to doing the LORD'S work. You could see this through his life, his family, and his church. He obeyed what his father had told him to do on his death bed and Murray Linder Gotcher, Daddo as we knew him, reaps his rewards in Heaven today!

My Grandfather loved many things, BASEBALL being his number 1 favorite sport. He was on the first bush league in this Denton County, Texas area. I remember as a girl on holidays we would all get together and play baseball. My Grandfather was always out there with us. He always had baseball on the television during the Baseball season. I suppose my Grandmother had to watch every game.

I remember also his 2nd love was for rootbeer or coke floats. When my brother, sister, and I would go to spend the night or just for a daily visit, you would hear Daddo say "Mary, fix those kids a Coke float." Of course she would fix it for us. It was always his idea but Mimmie always had to fix it. Another great thing you could always count on with Daddo was that he would always have a peppermint candy in his pocket to give you. If he happened to be out at the time he would substitute Ludens cherry cough drops. I had so many cough drops that I consider them candy to this very day. And last but not least anytime you went by to see Daddo you could not leave without him giving you money to go buy an ice cream with. He called it "ICE CREAM MONEY".

Many years back I have a recollection of going to a service station that my Grandfather use to run. He would reach into a deep old coke box, the kind you lean over into, and pull out a drink that was like a soft drink but it was actually a Chocolate Milk drink in a bottle. Tim and I loved those Chocolate milk drinks. I buy them to this day for my children. I hope they will have fond memories of them as I do.

Another memory of my Grandfather that I cannot let pass is that of his beautiful smile. It was especially special because out of nowhere he liked to push out his bottom false teeth and make all us kids laugh. He did this special trick for every child in our family. I am so glad my children can laugh today and remember their Great Grandfather sticking out all his bottom teeth at them.

One of my cherished memories of my Grandfather is when I was pregnant and fixing to have Megan. Daddo had taken quite ill and was found to have had Addison's disease. Also, while in the hospital he somehow had broken his neck. What terrible pain he must have been feeling. On the day I had Megan my thoughts were not only with my new little baby girl but also on my Grandfather. I called him on the phone when I got home with the baby and he cried. He thought that he would not get well enough to come home from the hospital and see her. It was the Lord's blessing that within a short time my Grandfather was well enough to come home. When he did I immediately took baby Megan over to his house to see him. There in his den was a hospital bed. And as he lay there in it I laid the only little Great Granddaughter he had. HE WEPT!

My Grandfather loved all his Grandchildren so! Vicki, Tim, Laurie, Gina, Galyn and his Great Grandchildren: Luke, Cody (Daddo called him his SMILEY BOY), Megan: We were all lucky to have had Murray Linder Gotcher to be OUR GRANDFATHER>

WE LOVE YOU DADDO!

The following is a short history about George Montgomery taken from "The Descendants of Mercer (Messer) Norton, 1750?-1800? and his wife, Martha" compiled by Erma Dell Melton Smith and Mildred Dulaney on page 982:

TALES OF THE PIONEERS
Montgomery---Doctor, Preacher, Teacher

"George William Montgomery, preacher, teacher, doctor, farmer, was born in Mississippi on November 6, 1818 and died at his farm house in Comanche County, Texas, March 12, 1877. He came to Comanche County in 1855 with the group who settled on South Leon, Mountain and Mercer's Creek, all in what is now the Newburg community.
He rendered varied and essential service to this pioneer community from the beginning till his death. The first tract of land bought by Dr. Montgomery was three hundred and twenty acres laying just south of the present church and school lots in Newburg. Apparently this was his home till about the close of the Civil War.
In 1864 he bought Blocks 32 and 33 in the town of Comanche and Comanche was his home for a few years. In February, 1869, he bought from Jesse Mercer 480 acres of land on Mercer's Creek on which a farm had been opened by Mercer and this was his home till his death. He is buried on the bank of Mercer's Creek, 120 yards from his last residence and a massive granite marker in a small well kept burial plot marks the last resting place of the doctor and his wife. Walter Barret now ownns the Montgomery homestead, and today within one hundred yards of the burial plot is growing corn where Dr. Montgomery grew corn seventy years ago--and the quality and quantity of the corn growing today is a testimonial to the longevity and productivity of the soils of this section."

Scientists worked in the cave in the 1920s and found Indian and animal remains dating back before Columbus discovered America. After his children had moved to Texas, Mercer N. West came along with the others to the state. A letter from daughter Canzada to brother Richard, dated 29 Jan. 1871 states 'Father got to my home the 24th of Nov. in good health. He had much trouble and fatigue on his way out on account of sickness in Mr. Rogers family.'"
