Notes:

In 1903 Henry loaded the family into a wagon and moved to Oklahoma where he had a job. Near Joy Texas, Mattie had a heart attack and died at age 39. The group turned around and came back to Wortham Benk where Mattie was Burried. The youngest child, Inez, was raised by Mattie's family because she was less than a year old.

Henry kept and raised all the other children. He never remarried. He was a very large man. He was remembered for throwing two 48 pound sacks of flour over his sholders and walking the 10 miles home from Valley Mills without ever resting. A special casket was constructed for him. He was said to be a good man, Happy, and a hard worker. He lived in a tent after the kids were gone. He chewed Brown Mule tobacco and raised bees. He is burried at Wortham Bend Cemetary.

Henry married Mary Martha Mahalia Walker. Mary was born in 1864 in Mississippi; died in 1903 in Wortham Bend. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
