Fannie CASE mar. my grandfather after his wife Bell died. She left 7 children as far as I know. Granny as I called Fannie. She my grandfather raised me after my mother Minnie MINTHY called her died. She burned to death with a baby a few months old. My sister Dovie my name is Minnie Florence HENDERSON. Now I go by the name Florence. My father & my mother were first cousins. They mar. young. She died the best I can say about 1901 or 1902 in Honey Grove, Texas. Yes my Granny, Fannie WALKER CASE mar. real young & I think in Tenn. She mar. a Mr. HARRIS, had 2 daughters. I never knew them. I knew all of Grandpa's children. They were one big family. I didn't know my granny's sister you speak of. At that time I was real young. I saw your grandfather one time as I can remember tho I am sure I saw him & all others you speak of when was a child as there seemed to be a lot of kin people coming & going all the time at my Grand Daddys home. Grand Daddy & Granny went to Grayson Co. got Jim WALKER & his little sister Mary I remember their coming to our house so well. Their mother & Dad, I think they separated or maybe he died. They had 4 children, Jim, Mary, Rose I cant remember the other girls name. (Nannie Mae WALKER) Their mother mar. again so her husband wouldn't accept her children she had to give them away. Jim & Mary were the youngest. Little Mary died about a year after Granny got them. See they were granny's brother John's children. I think that was his name. Jim never knew to much about his older sisters. The last I remember of him speaking of them they lived in Austin. Jim & me are the same age. I will be 81 Sept. 6 in Oct. he will be 81. He is sick. I see him once in a while. ... My husband died Sept 5 1977. I have a daughter Mary Beth. Willie in Waco, a son Charles, Jr. lives in Temple retired from Veterans hospital at Temple. He & his wife Letha were nurses there. Faye is a nurse in a nursing home here. I have a son Russll Lee at Galveston. He is a foreman at a nail plant there. He has 3 sons. I lost a son June 8, 1960 of leukemia. He was 34 left a 10 years old son Steve he lives in Calif. ... Faye will jet to San Francisco to see her son & wife & her only grandson Stevie. I don't know James WALKER or Polly after my Granny died in 1925. I took care of her. I lived with her until I mar. in 1919. Then took care of her most of the rest of her life. So many of their children got her things. I dont know who brought him tho. Grandpa never lived in her home at Satin. They lived on a big farm north of Satin during his life time. She bought this house & she & I helped her keep boarders. She loved to go fishing & would go often. Someone would all ways take her. I did after I married & had a car. She willed her home to me but I was beat out of it. I know I am not much help as I was a child in those early years & I just remember all of them. I do remember a pretty girl comming to visit long times with us. Jim & me loved her. I dont know who was her parents they called her Brigget (Bridget did visit them). I think name spelled right or name is Bright. Could it been Cricket. Do you know of anyone by that name. She was real pretty had black hair ... I hope you can get a little information from this ... Faye has 2 daughters here. Retha will graduate get her masters from Denton Aug. 16. Mar. to Kerry STANELY. No children. Nancy works at Tyler Co. not married. David in Calif. her husband shot him self about 8 years ago. Bad health ... By by. so glad to hear from you. Florence." [The house was deeded to Compton Funeral Home for the debt of the services of Fanny. It was sold in 1935 to Selma Guderian COLLINS of Falls Co. I spoke with the son of Mrs. COLLINS who lives in Ft. Worth. He told me he was trying to get a Texas Historical Marker for the house as it had been a stage stop on the way to Wash. on the Brazos, the first state capital. It was small, I could not see inside but appeared to be 2 rooms across the front with a porch full length & a room or two in "T" shape at the back. It sat close to the ground.] [A neighbor took Fanny to the hospital from a local baseball game thinking she had indigestion. She died of a heart attack. Death certificate gave no family information. My grandfather went to the funeral. Fanny appears to have had no contact with her own daughters.] (1) Minnie Florence (Huggie) MINTHY, b. 9-6-1899, TX, mar.

She sent me copies of a picture of Ira B. MARTIN and Sarah Annie. She has in her records that Ira's middle name was "Brown". I have not seen that record. She also sent several articles, the following being one of them. I appreciate very much all her assistance in corrections, etc. in these lines. "CLIPPING FROM THE GARLAND NEWS" "Mrs. W. F. BROWN, lovingly called "Grandma BROWN" by hundreds of friends, young and old, will soon celebrate her eighty-third birthday. She does her own housework in her modern brick cottage on Bankhead highway, where she daily receives visits from neighbors who bask in her cheery smile. Her sense of humor is one of her main attributes, and all through her life she has been ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Mrs. BROWN is a regular church attendant at the First Christian Church. She became a church member at Robinson Fork, Tenn., at the age of twelve. She is vitally interested in present day affairs and enjoys sports of all kinds. "Sarah Ann MARTIN was born at Lynnville, GI Co., Tennessee, September 27, 1856, the daughter of I. B. and Melissa MARTIN, natives of GI Co.. She is the oldest of the seven children, six of whom are still living. She attended school with her four sisters and two brothers in a log house with one door and two windows. There were split log benches with peg legs, and the desks were planks on pegs fastened through holds in the walls. The Civil War disrupted the schools and often they had only three month terms. Later school was held in the churches. There were many cousins and young people in her group, and they had good times at candy pullings, pop corn parties, and square dances. "As a young girl she helped her mother spin and reel. One of the most vivid memories of her childhood were the clumsy shoes. When they needed shoes a cobbler would come to their home to make shoes for each member of the family, then go on to another place. "W. P. BROWN was a neighbor across the road from the MARTIN home, and he owned a flour mill. He had four sons, Robert, Tom, William Fletcher and MARTIN, and two daughters, Lesta and Mrs. Joe PULLEN. Robert and Tom BROWN were Confederate solders, as was Joe PULLEN. Robert was left a cripple for life, Joe lost a hand, and Tom lost an eye at the battle of Raymond, Miss. "About 1,000 Union soldiers camped at the MARTIN (Brown?) flour mill, and the country was stripped of food and animals. Mrs. BROWN recalls her dread of these soldiers as she could watch them from the window of her home. "She was married to William Fletcher BROWN January 16, 1873, and they went to their home after the ceremony where they had 100 guests for the wedding supper. The next day they had the in-fair dinner at the home of the groom's parents. "There were forty-two in the party when Mr. and Mrs. BROWN and their children, Edna, now Mrs. W. V. OLINGER, and Rena (Mrs. Charley WILLIS, dec.) started for Texas on September 3, 1878. The wagon train was up of eleven two-horse wagons and two double seated buggies. Forty-four days were required to make the trip. They did not travel on Sunday, so they averaged about twenty miles a day, arriving in Dallas Co. October 17. Among the families represented in the group were the PULLENS, BROWNS, MARTINS, OSBORNES, WHITES, WILSONS, ISAACS, ALLENS, PORTERS and MILLIGANS. "They had many interesting experiences en route to Texas. They crossed the Tennessee River at Clifton, and intended crossing the Mississippi at Memphis. When they arrived there, guards turned them back as Memphis was quarantined on account of yellow fever. They went north by Reel Foot Lake in West Tennessee and crossed the Mississippi at New Madrid in Missouri. They were forced to go through Nigger Wool Swamps where they drove over a post road for sixteen miles. A man had to walk at the head of each mule or horse to keep them from slipping on the logs. Mrs. Brown remembers the swarms of yellow jackets they went through. After passing through this swamp they camped where the turkeys, wild ducks and fish were plentiful. "Mrs. Brown fell in love with Texas prairies and wanted to stop before they reached Dallas Co.. However, they settled on the Caruth farm on Air Line Road, and lived in this White Rock neighborhood for ten years. Watt CARUTH made the ten-mile trip to Dallas by horseback daily for the mail and delivered it to the settlers. The first year they made a marvelous crop. It was while they were living there that their son, Carl, was born in 1883. "In 1883 they bought a farm from W. T. OLINGER. Among their neighbors for the next thirteen years were the RIDDLES, COLDWELLS, OLINGERS, PHILLIPS. MEANS, SPARKS, AKERS, BRYANTS, GREERS, NEELYS and MYERS. In 1901 they bought the old COOMER house and Mrs. Brown has since made here home here. Mr. BROWN died January 16, 1917. "Mrs. BROWN'S sisters are: Mrs. Belle FILGO, Temple, Texas; Mrs. Mag HICKMAN, Temple, Okla.; Mrs. Mary SPIVEY, Murray Co., Tenn.; Mrs. Izora SPIVEY, Lynnville, Tenn; and one brother John MARTIN lives in Lewisburg, Tenn. Besides her son and daughter, she has six grandchildren and four great- grandchildren. "To know "Grandma BROWN" is to love her, and the writer knows of no one who has a wider circle of devoted friends. s / Mrs. W. H. BRADFIELD."

"A fellow named Sam BROWN who wanted to marry Gussie, Daughter of M.

Published in "TIPS OF TEXAS" genealogical quarterly of Harlingen, TX, Vol. 3, No. 3, Nov. 1965, p 25." A descendant said the story was that Sam BROWN had asked for the hand of Gussie and was refused because she was too young, She was 18 at the time. He came back to the USSERY home a 2nd time and again refused by Mastin to allow her to marry BROWN, whereupon he killed Mastin on his front porch. They buried Mastin in the front yard of the home, which became the USSERY Cem. The graves of Mastin and Sarah Jane are the above-ground type about 2 to 3 feet high and filled in with asphalt when I saw it. Several USSERY family members are buried there. Mr. Abner USSERY also said sons and sons-in-laws formed a posse and caught the Sam BROWN. That was the last hanging in Caldwell Co., TX. I learned this information from a record I have lost. The posse hanged Sam BROWN in the town of Luling and then dragged his body behind a horse through the town. Charges were brought against the posse members. Some of them went to California until the charges were dropped. The descendant said it was the last hanging in the county. The charges were dropped in the court records. 1884-4-18-1884-9-22 Cases 2036 and 2037: (Posse that hung killer of Mastin USSERY, Sr.) Chede CROFT Thomas PICKENS James USSERY George CROFT Asa MOODY Robert Morrow Hugh (Hoy) HOUSTON Ab USSERY Peter FRY John H.
