Roles Chair, Publications (Editor) Robert L. Crawford From the Editor There is little doubt that 2011 has been the most eventful year in the 21-year history of the Jackson County Genealogical Society. In February we moved out of the office that we had occupied for some thirteen years, and we placed almost all of the Society's possessions in one type of storage or another. In June we started the process of moving in to the old courthouse in Sylva, into offices on the first floor, and we became one of the partners in the Jackson County library complex. The county commissioners voted to allow space to the Jackson County Historical Association and to the Jackson County Arts Council, as well as our group. Quite simply, we doubt if we could ever have found ourselves in a better location. The magnificent j building is an attraction for local persons and tourists alike, and we make every effort to be open the same hours as the library itself. We have seen literally hundreds of people come through our new offices, some with serious genealogical interest, some with exclamations about the view, some who are old acquaintances and friends who have dropped by, and some who need building permits or driver's licenses. AH have been welcome in a place that we believe offers an important service to the people of Jackson County and indeed to persons from anywhere. In early November, the lease agreement was finalized by the county. Our "space utilization fee," as they euphemistically state it, will be some $338 per month. It is retroactive to June. This will amount to a little over $4000 per year that we will need to raise. We have no doubts that our organization will be able to do just that. Over the last twenty-one years, we have yet to face a challenge that we could not meet, and while we may be misunderstood in some quarters (and certainly underappreciated), we are still upright, we are still helping persons who need to find out their family backgrounds, and we are still working here every day. This final issue of 2011 will be sent to 240 of the finest folks in the country. It has been our great pleasure to meet and talk with many of them, and we look forward to 2012 as another great year. In this issue, see the contributions of Nelma Bryson, Jason Gregory, Ruth Crawford Shuler, Jean Hooper Scott, Mack Sutton, Bill Crawford, Deanne Gibson Roles, Betty Queen Monteith, Larry C. Farley, Dorris Dills Beck, and of course the official records gathered by the editor. We wish all of you the finest holiday season.

The picture shows John Anzle Hooper Jr. (17 Nov 1860 - 13 Jun 1946), his wife Mary Wike Hooper (9 J a n 1865 - 1 Sep 1918). We assume that these would be their four oldest children...only the two little girls a r e actually identified on the picture. Their children were Vernon V. Hooper (20 Nov 1885 - 11 May 1948), who married Gratia Bryson; Lymon (1888), Ora Hooper (20 Jun 1895 - 23 Aug 1976), who married Albert Edwin Brown, and Edith (3 Sep 1897 - 28 Mar 1971), who married Curtis Wood. Considering those birth dates, if Edith is the smallest child in the picture, then the photograph would have been made about 1899, three or four years prior to the birth of Brittle Lee, who married Charles Nelson Price. The picture was shared by Emma Jo Brown Robinson, one of Ora's daughters, with JCGS member Jason Gregory. 147 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 J C G S P h o t o A l b u m v_J >_> The picture above is a photograph of James Henry Robinson, his wife Sallie Franklin Robinson, and their son James Oscar Robinson. Sallie was earlier married to John Baxter Ensley. Sallie (13 Mar 1852 - 18 J a n 1924) was the youngest child in the Franklin family which we have been spotlighting in these pages. James Henry (2 Mar 1858 - 29 Apr 1930) was one of the sons of Washington Alexander Robinson and Mahala Bumgarner. James Oscar Robinson (2 Jan 1895 - 18 Jun 1936) was their youngest child. We would estimate that this picture was made about 1905. Photograph shared with JCGS by Jason Gregory, who copied the picture from the Robert Carnes family. ^J 148 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 C J C G S P h o t o A l b u m C L , The photograph above is of Cynthia Hall Beck (4 Jun 1867 - 4 Feb 1953), wife of Rev.

The following is the work of JCGS member Nelma Jean Bryson, who is a lineal descendant in this family.] Walter S. Christy, M i n n i e K e n n e y Christy, J u l i a C h r i s t y B r y s o n , S a l l i e C h r i s ty c _ Walter Scott Christy (1858 - 1923) was born in Athens, GA, the son of John Harrison Christy (1820 - 1877) and Ann Aurelia Roberts (1824 - 1894). He married Minnie Weil Belle Kenney (1869 - 1951), daughter of Isaac Massillon Kenney (1820 - 1884) and Candas Anna Ross (1835 - 1901). John Harrison Christy walked across the mountains from Jonesborough, TN to Asheville, NC in 1839 - 1840. A printer by trade, he partnered with Joshua Roberts, a lawyer from Cleveland County, NC, to begin one of the first newspapers in Western North Carolina: The Highland Messenger. Roberts became his father - in - law. Christy's wife, Ann Aurelia, had a sister and brother - in - law living in Athens, GA. In the mid 1840's, John H. and Ann Aurelia Christy moved to Athens and began their family of nine children: six sons and three daughters. We have confirmation of at least four of the sons becoming newspapermen, including Walter Scott. 151 KJ Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 Isaac M. Kenney was born in the Edgefield District of South Carolina and at some point in his childhood, the family moved to Athens, GA. He was widowed and the father of six children when he married his second wife, Candas Anna Ross of Columbia County, GA. Together they added nine more children to the family. Minnie Weil Belle was the baby of the family. Isaac was a Methodist minister, a scholar, a probate judge, an official of the Confederacy, and a merchant. Isaac Kenney's store was very near the newspaper offices of John H. Christy, and it is believed by family anecdotal history that the nearness of the two businesses may have fostered the courtship and marriage of Walter and Minnie. Family anecdotal history also dictates that John H. Christy was a contemporary of Andrew Johnson, former president of the United States, while Johnson was a young tailor in Jonesborough, TN. Their friendship was said to have been close. So close in fact, that John H. Christy's wedding suit was tailored by Andrew Johnson. Walter and Minnie Christy began their family in Athens, GA. Their first four children were born there: Anna (1889-1889) Norman Roberts (1890 -1962) married Dolly Mae Queen Julia Belle (1892 -1967) married John Refsahl Edith Elizabeth (1893 -1983) Around 1894, Walter visited Andrews, NC where his brother Thomas Jackson Christy was editor of The Andrews Sun. Thomas had previously lived in Franklin, NC, where he was the editor of The Franklin Press and where he married Cora Bryson. As they toured the countryside that visit, Walter is said to have declared his desire to live at Balsam. This was a few short years after the railroad had been completed through Balsam Gap extending the line from Asheville all the way to Murphy. Walter moved his family from Athens, GA by train to Balsam, NC and their family continued to grow. Six more children were born at Balsam: Walter Edwin (1896 -1950) married Nannie Robinson Harriet Salina (1898 -1953) married Finley Carson Ethel Alice (1900 -1990) married George Robert Bryson Lucy Marion (twin) (1903 -1904) Lydia Mae (twin) (1903 -1989) married Roy Duncan Thomas Henry (1905 -1991) married Carrie (Peggy) Corpening The Christys lived first near the newly completed railroad tracks. They built a resort hotel and "eatery" for folks from South Carolina and Georgia who liked to spend their summers in the coolness of the mountains. Family anecdotal history dictates the name of this establishment as the Christy House. Because the Christy family were all Methodist, and the Balsam community and surrounding area were predominantly Baptist, the Christys felt the need for a Methodist church at Balsam. They sent back to Athens, GA for pulpit furniture and built a church. A Methodist minister would come from Sylva by train one Sunday a month to hold services. Walter's maiden sister, Mary Lucinda Christy, 1848 - 1919, who was fondly called Mamie, . j played the organ. The congregation was made up of the Christys, Kenneys, and Knights. 152 Kj Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 When the Methodist church at Balsam was closed many years later, the membership merged with Faith Methodist Church of Hazelwood. Minnie's brother, Joseph Key Kenney (1856 - 1940), had been buying land in the Balsam area since the Civil War as he would bring horses from Athens, GA to the mountains for sale to those in the timber business. He built some cabins to rent to summer guests. In the very early 1900's, Joe moved his family to Balsam and bought more land. At this time, he and his brother - in - law Walter were making plans to build a large hotel. Their rental cabins and the small hotel Walter owned were overflowing with guests. The hotel they built with some financial backing from a Mrs. Wiggs of Atlanta, who was a frequent summer guest, was the Balsam Springs Hotel. Now, over a hundred years later, it is known as the Balsam Mountain Inn. The Christy House burned before the new hotel was completed. One part of it that was not burned later became the bowling alley for the new hotel. There was also at the new hotel a dance pavilion, a riding stable, and an area designated for lawn tennis. Walter and Minnie's daughter Ethel Alice, who married George Robert Bryson, is my grandmother. George's father, Hebron Lee Bryson, was one of the original workmen who built the hotel. Hebron is credited with being one of the men who laid the concrete pillars upon which the hotel rests. George was also a carpenter and helped with the building of the hotel. Later in life he did additional work and maintenance to the structure. My personal anecdotal history suggests that the building of the hotel may have helped George and Ethel in their courtship and consequent marriage. Wa' WaHW|iBeaBaMBiUUUBaTa^ ...v., ^ __ < ..'_?

There were walnut trees in the hollow and on the sides of the hills, and in a good year they would fall off the tree and roll into the hollow. I have seen them 3 feet thick for 2 or 3 hundred feet down that hollow. We couldn't sell them, so they would just lie there and rot. Then one time it snowed a lot; I don't know how much, but the wind blew that snow into the hollow about twenty feet deep. Our old cow slid into it and couldn't get out. We had to shovel and tromp down that snow so she could walk out. We all like to have froze, the cow too. We made ourselves wooden wagons, the wheels made out of black gum, the axles out of dogwood, with a board on the front axle to the back axle with a bolt in the middle so we could guide i t Sometimes we would have a rope tied on each side of the front axle, and some boys would use their feet. A lot of times our dads wouldn't let us use axle grease, so we went out into the pasture and got cow manure. It was slick. It was a sight to see those wagons coming down the hill and that cow manure flying. Going back to when I was a small boy 4 or 5 years old, I remember men cradling wheat on the side of a hill. This was at my grandfather's house on Dicks Creek. They would shock the wheat, and later when Kansas Howell would bring his threshing machine around, they would haul the wheat out of the fields to the spot where they would thresh it Other people would bring their wheat there too. They would put the wheat in big white sacks, and my granddad would fill the wagon full with those sacks and take it to the mill on Shoal Creek at Olivet Road. It is still standing today. He would unload the wheat, then go to Kansas Howell's farm (he was his brother - in - law), and work on his farm till the wheat was all ground. He would bring that wheat back to a room where they kept it all winter and till the next fall when they would thresh wheat again. At breakfast, to get one of those big yellow cathead biscuits with real butter and honey was a real t r e a t I never saw sacks of flour till about 1937 or 1938. My dad would buy it in a paper poke about ten pounds at a time, then all the people began to buy flour in 24-pound sacks. By 1940 the threshing machine was gone. You could go out in the country after they began to buy these sacks of flour and see those bloomers hanging on the line. "Martha White," "Yukon's Best," "Red Band." You could not get the name out of the cloth and the girls wore them. Most of these people I write about are dead now. I skip back and forth from a little boy to a man. I go back as they come to mind. At Barker's Creek I will tell how things looked when I was a boy. It was a 2-lane highway. At the old steel bridge that is there now just above the cement bridge, there was a small store just before the highway. A number of people owned it. Between the store and the bridge" was the Barkers Creek church house, a big white building with a belfry with a big bell in i t Across the road where the Barkers Creek Trading Post is now was a corn field. On the other side of the river was a good-size store, and up the railroad about a hundred feet was the depot, a big shed with a flag pole to stop the train. Out to the right 159 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 was a real old store that was used as a warehouse and back behind it was a sawmill. Up the Barkers Creek Road about V* of a mile was the Barkers Creek school house. In the evening ( j I would come from school and sit down on the bank of the road and watch them saw lumber. This was the old steam sawmill, and when they hit a hard log, fire would come out of the smokestack. Down the road where the big red barn is (it wasn't red then) was Dewey Beck's house, and across the road where Uncle Bill's Flea Market is now was a field where Dewey would plant watermelons next to the river. When we were about 14 or 15 years old, we would walk down the railroad, pull our clothes off, swim the river, go up the bank and sldnny on our bellies so nobody would see us, and find us a watermelon. We would roll it back down the bank of the river, and if it would float it was a ripe melon, and if it didn't float, we would turn it loose and go back for another one. We could hold onto the melon and kick with our feet and the melon would hold us up. Kicking would push us across the river, where we could bust it and eat a good melon. Getting back to the sawmill...one time they were sawing big hickory logs, and the fireman that fired the boiler couldn't keep the steam up, so at lunch time he quit. Kelly Bradley owned the mill, and Frank Sutton owned the store at the highway. Frank was Kelly's son-in-law, so Kelly went to get Frank to fire the boiler for that evening. Frank told him to go get Hayes Sutton to run the store, so he could fire the sawmill. He started firing it at lunchtime when the mill hands were eating lunch, and by the time they came back to work, he had the governor or pop-off valve letting off steam. When they went to work, he tied the pop-off valve down and told the sawyer to saw. He started putting the wood to the boiler, the boiler got cherry red, the sawyer would cram that saw into a big hickory log, it ^ would go through the log and never slack a bit. One of the cut-off men ran, it looked like it . J was going to blow up. They sawed a heck of a lot of lumber that evening. At quitting time the sawyer quit, so Kelly had to hunt him a sawyer and a fireman for the next day. In August 1940 we had the big flood. It had rained for two weeks and the river got real high. I saw boys and men swimming from the railroad to the sawmill and back It rained hard for 2 days and nights, and the river woke us up way before daylight, and when it came daylight we could see that it was way high. We had never seen it that high before. There were big trees going down. I was standing on the porch and a big hemlock tree came down the river root end first. It hit the bridge in the center, one part went to the left and one part to the right. I ran in and told Dad that if he was going to go to work, he would have to swim for the bridge was gone. He said Oh My God. I saw houses, dead hogs and chickens going down the river, and a big rooster sitting on a little house crowing. In our front yard water was shooting out of the ground about 3 or 4 feet high. After the water started going back down, I saw men trying to catch a big fish in between the railroad tracks. At Kelly Bradley's sawmill, he lost a lot of logs and lumber that floated down the river. To drive across the river to the other side was to go down Thomas Valley to Whittier, then take the old Bryson City road to the Governor's Island bridge and cross it to get on the highway. People said that at that bridge, the water got up over it before the big timber came down and went over top of it. Every steel bridge from the head of the river to there was busted through. About a week after the river had gone back to normal, they built a boat and stretched a wire across the river and put a chain from the wire to the boat so people could go across and catch a bus to town. 160 Cw o Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 If you are at Uncle Bill's Flea Market looking across the river at that mountain, it used to have porcelain clay mines in it. There are small tunnels all in that mountain, and the inside of them is white from that porcelain. Most of them are about 50 or 100 feet long. We boys on some Sundays When we couldn't find much to do would go in them and sometimes run the foxes out We would catch bats and rub their noses together to make them mad. Good sport. One time Jewel Revis and I were standing in his yard looking across the river to the highway, and was coming up the highway riding a white mule, swaying back and forth drunk. They got about halfway across the bridge and fell off. He was holding onto the reins, but was too drunk to get up. Finally the mule lay down and crawled on, then the mule stood up with him on i t That was a smart mule. Along about Thanksgiving my Dad would kill two big fat hogs. He would get two men to help slaughter them and 'way before daylight we would have a fire going with a big 120 gallon steel barrel with boiling water to dunk the hogs in to loosen the hair. These men would scrape the hair off and hoist them up till the ends of their hoses would clear the ground. After they slit the belly open, Perry and I would feel around in the tub until we found the bladder. We would cut it loose, blow it full of air, tie it off so it wouldn't leak, hang it on a limb for 4 or 5 days, then we'would have a football. It would last until spring. At one time my grandfather had mules named Jack and Doud. Jack was white and Doud was black. Doud was the one I rode to the mill and back when I was about four years old. I have heard people say that my granddad would haul half a cord of acid wood on the wagon with the mules. They said he was in Dillsboro (that is where he took the wood to sell it), when Doud acted up on him and embarrassed him. He told Doud he would give him a whipping when they got home. A man told me when he unharnessed the mules, he got the whip and wore Doud out with it Sometimes the most embarrassing things can happen to a person like me. There was a Saturday night meeting at Rockdale Baptist Church and I was taking a girl home. We were walking, and she lived 2 miles up Lick Creek, the middle prong of Barkers Creek She lived at the last house up there, the last half-mile was a trail. We were going along smooching, got her up to the door of the house, ldssed her goodnight and left. Walked out about 20 feet from the steps, real dark night, no moon, and walked off a 10 foot rock wall right into a briar patch. It is a wonder I didn't break my leg, scratched all over, turned my ankle, couldn't find the trail, fell into a ditch. Half an hour later found the trail, had to walk 2 miles down Lick Creek, then 2 more miles to the mouth of Barkers Creek. My ankle swelled up. What a night. When I was a boy I started school in 1934 at 6 years old. I went 2 years and the third year I started into third grade, Mary Sue Revis was a year behind me in age, and Stella Mae was just 5 years old and I had to lead them to and from school. I didn't want to do it for all the boys would laugh at me, but Gertie, Jewel's wife, got with my mother and mother told me to lead Mary Sue and Stella Mae to school or else, so up and down the road I went with two little girls, one in each hand. I got laughed at too. Where people lived when I was a boy: Jewel Revis lived in the first house above the bridge, and we lived just about one hundred yards up the railroad from him, the coldest place this side of the North Pole. The sun was up about 8 a.m. and down by 9 a.m. We 161 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 could see the sun on the other side of the river. On up the railroad Jim Pangle and Fannie lived, up the hollow above them was Oscar Estes and Rhoda, then above Jim's was Jasper \ Dills and Prudie, then on up a ways by the railroad was a house where Harley Nations lived. ^—^ Later on Jim Pangle lived there, then Jim moved to Sylva and Will Gregory and Mary lived in it. Now going up the creek, Baxter and Sallie Nations and their son DeForest lived there, then out a little ways was Vivian and Birdie Nations. Then just past Vivian's there was a hollow where Jack and Lillie Sutton lived. Then on around the hill that used to be Nations Creek Road (now Thomas Valley Road) was Tommie Nations, then Jewel Nations' house. Back down close to the bridge on the left of the road Lonza Sutton and Lizzie lived. Then on up the road was where Burt Sutton and Veda and Granny Sutton lived. The old house is still there now. On up the road on the left was a house where Ira Jones lived. I think Grady Ward lived in it before Ira. Then on the same side and up a small road was General Jones's house, and across the creek from Ira's house was Hobert Gibson's house. Then on up the road a little ways was Kelly Bradley's house on the left of the road, and on the right of the road and up a little ways Frank Sutton built a house. He married Mary Alice Bradley. Up the road above Frank's was where Jim and Arty Gibson lived. At Jim's house I remember they were going to have a funeral for . He had died on Piney Mountain and Daddy built the coffin there. He told me to come there about 1 o'clock and take him to Jim's. I went over there about that time on a muddy road axle deep, rutted out. I had that old 1940 Chevy pickup. We had taken the steel bed off and made a wooden bed for it. We put the box in, then carried the coffin out Daddy nailed the lid on the box and we went up the road easing along. Daddy said, "Is this as fast as this truck can run?" I said ," might turn over in his coffin." He said "So what...he is dead." I got sort of mad and went off a reeling and rocldng. We got up to Jim's house, Hobert Gibson helped Daddy take the coffin out of the box, they opened the lid, and he had turned over face down. They turned him back over and had the funeral. I was at Jim Gibson's corn mill, and he showed me where my grandfather Dan Sutton made his whiskey. When my grandfather owned the mill, there was a flue that went up inside the mill and had a little wood stove to keep warm by. On the other side he had a little still and a place to hook up the furnace in the same flue. He would build a fire in both sides so that smoke coming out the top would look as if the stove in front was being used to warm by. He made the corn whiskey from the corn toll he got from the people he ground corn for. Jim said that Dan ran a little store in the bottom just like he did. Frank said that one time and came to the store one Saturday evening to get lamp oil and coffee. They lived in Big Laurel, and he begged his Dad to go home with them for the weekend. They got there just before dark, and supper was about ready, so they went to the creek and washed, and back to the house for supper. What they had was corn bread, boiled cabbage and opossum. wife had cooked it whole from the end of its tail to its nose, and it was lying in the platter grinning at them. He said he ate corn bread and cabbage but no possum. Got up the next morning, went to the creek and washed, came back to the house to breakfast and that possum was still grinning, they hadn't eaten all of it for supper. He said he went back to Barkers Creek. To be continued 162 V^> KJ Journeys Tltrough Jackson Fall 2011 W o o d C h a p e l C e m e t e r y [Ed.

W i l s o n F a m i l y [The following is the work of JCGS member Ruth C. Shuler, who submits it for publication.] William M. Wilson, second oldest child of Manson and Zilpha Brunetta Cockerham Wilson, was bom 24 Jul 1852 in the family home in the Savannah area of Jackson County. William and Sarah Elizabeth Collins, daughter of Daniel and Salina Collins, were married 9 Nov 1873 in Jackson County. In June of 1880 when the Census was taken, William and Sarah had three children: Alice Josephine (1875), Columbus A. (1877), and Chilo B. (1879). In later years this third child would be known as Lola (in 1900 she was called Sallie). One wonders if the name was supposed to be Shiloh B. In the early 1890's William had moved to Union County, Georgia. By the time of the 1900 census, Alice was married, Columbus was no longer living in his father's home, and five additional children were listed in William's family: Manson F r a n k (1883), Laura (1885), Gracie Victoria (1891), and Georgia M. (1895), the only one born in Georgia. Sarah Elizabeth died in 1895 and was buried in the Old Brasstown Cemetery, Young Harris, Georgia. _ • C The picture above shows the William M. Wilson family. The little girl on the left is Laura, William is holding Grace, Frank, Sarah Elizabeth is holding Georgia, CA. is on the right, and Alice and Lola are standing in the rear. Picture is courtesy of Melanie Chomko, g r e a t - great granddaughter of Columbus Wilson. 173 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 William Wilson married a second time to Mary Catherine Owenby Galloway, and the 1910 Census reports two children, Ada and Rush. Mary died 9 Sep 1904 (she had been bom 19 Jul 1865), followed by William 14 Sep 1908. They are buried at Ebenezer Baptist Church Cemetery in Union County, Georgia. In the 1910 Census, Ada and Rush were in the home of Elisha T. Galloway and wife Margaret, listed as niece and nephew. After William Wilson's death, his older children, with the exception of Alice Josephine who had married Thomas Loranzie Deitz, moved to Colorado. The Deitz family lived in Clay County, North Carolina, just across the state line from where William had lived in Towns County, Georgia. Some of the Deitz family returned to Jackson County in later years and reared their families here. Descendants of this family include Boyce Deitz, legendary Swain County High School football coach who is now the district representative for Congressman Heath Shuler, and Loy Vaughn Deitz, who worked for the Jackson County schools for many years. The Alice and Loranzie Deitz family story was included in Jackson County Heritage, Volume I, and the transcript of their family Bible was published in Winter 2011 "Journeys Through Jackson." Columbus A. Wilson has been elusive in Census records. I have not been able to locate him in 1900, 1910, or 1920. In 1930 he appears in the Weld County, Colorado, Census as a widower with a son Frank H., 13 years old. A land patent for a Columbus Wilson was filed in Weld County on 29 Jul 1914; whether this is the Columbus Wilson from North Carolina has not been verified. Columbus filed his World War I draft registration on 12 Sep 1918, in Weld County, listing Leah Wilson (his wife, formerly Mary Leah Ingram) as his next of kin and his occupation as farmer. His physical description was given as tall, slender, with blue eyes and dark hair. \ J The late Daniel Deitz, whose mother Emary Wilson Deitz was a sister to William Marion Wilson, provided the information that Columbus was killed in a bicycle accident. While this fact has not been verified, the Social Security Death Index gives his date of death as 30 Aug 1940 in Greeley, Colorado. A photograph of his grave stone (see below) appears on the Gereke Family Tree on Ancestry.com Public Member Trees, and gives a specific location of his grave in Eaton, Colorado. There is some question about Columbus's middle name: I have found Algiers, Allen, and Alen. One wonders if it might have been Algerine, named in memory of William Wilson's older brother who had died in the 1870's. ^J KJ 174 u c Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 Melanie Chomko lists Columbus's children as John William, bom 1905 in Enid, Oklahoma; Monny Weeks, bom 1907 in Windsor, CO; Nellie (no other information); Roy Woodrow; and Frank H. (the child listed with his father in the 1930 census). Frank H. Wilson (29 Oct 1918 - 23 Nov 2004) is listed in U.S. Veterans Gravesites showing burial in Fort Logan National Cemetery, Denver, Colorado. Additional information on Columbus A. Wilson can be found at familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/h/o.. .Melanie_Chomko_CO/index.html William Marion Wilson's other children from his first marriage also moved to Colorado. The second son, Manson Franklin, married Myrtle Ledford in Towns County, Georgia 23 Sep 1906. He is then found in Weld County as a hired hand in 1910, but there is no mention of Myrtle. He filed World War I draft registration on 12 Sep 1918 in Greeley County, listing Janie Wilson as next of kin. By 1920 Frank had moved back to Georgia, being found in Fulton County with wife Janie and daughters Irene, 5, and Lorene, 3, both of whom were born in Colorado. In 1930 Frank and Janie are listed in Hall County, Georgia, with children Irene, Lorene, Edna, R.B., Madeline, and C. J. Edna was bom in Colorado and the younger ones in Georgia, so the family probably returned to Georgia in the early 1920's. This family was struck by tragedy in the tornadoes that devastated Gainesville, Georgia, on April 6, 1936, when daughter Lorene was killed at her job at the Cooper Manufacturing Company, a textile company. Lorene is buried at the Oak Grove Baptist Church in Gainesville, and it is likely that other members of this family are interred there also. William's daughter Lola (referred to as Chilo B. in 1880 and Sallie in 1900) married Ernest Brader about 1905 and had a son, Waine, bom about 1908. In the 1910 Weld County Census, Lola's sister Georgia was living with the Brader family. Lola and her husband, shown as Angust, are listed in 1920 in Weld County, but there is no mention of Waine. They have not been located in 1930. William's daughter Laura, bom in 1885, is listed in the 1920 Weld County Census with husband James Kimbrel and six children: Belle, 14; May F., 10; Faril G., 8 (bom in Colorado, indicating the family was there before 1910); Evelyn, 6; Elmer 1 8/12. Son Arthur had been added in 1928, and a grandson, Gerald Damron, age 2, was also wim the family in the 1930 Census. The next daughter of William, Grace Victoria, married Frank Ledford in 1909. They are enumerated in Union County, Georgia, in 1910, and Grace is found in 1920 in Greeley, Colorado, as a widow with two children: Ruby, 8, and Roy, 2, living next door to her sister Georgia and family. On 23 April 1921 Grace married Rutherford B. Snider and had children Dorothy, bom 1921 in Idaho; Ralph, 1925 in Georgia; Vernon, 1927 in Colorado; and Myrna 1930 in Colorado. Also listed in their home were Ruby Ledford, age 18, and Roy Ledford, age 12, both bom in Georgia. Grace died in Denver in 1976. The next daughter of Wiliam, Georgia, bom in 1895, married Clint Morey, a machinist bom in Nebraska. In 1920 they were listed in Weld County with children Clarence, 6, Hubert, 4, and Hazel, all bom in Colorado. In 1930, two additional children are shown: Earl, 9, and Ernest, 7 (bom in Oregon). Sadly, Georgia was not in the family home, but was shown as an inmate in the Colorado State Hospital for the Insane in Pueblo. William Wilson's two children by his second wife evidently stayed in Georgia with their mother's family. As mentioned above, in 1910 they were with Elisha and Margaret Galloway. By the 1920 Census of Union County, Georgia, in the Gum Log township, Ada was married to Benjamin Robert Ledford, and they had a daughter Willard, not quite a year old. In their home 175 Journeys Through Jackson Fall 2011 also was Rush Wilson, listed as brother-in-law. By 1930, still in Gum Log, Ada was listed as a widow with four children: Willard, 11; Sarah Hazel, 9; Anna Belle, 9; and Huston Lee, 3. At some point Ada married Charles M. Ledford and lived in Andrews, North Carolina, where she died 31 May 1983, and is buried in Valleytown Cemetery. Her daughter Anna Belle married John Jamison and lived in Macon County, where she is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. Son Huston Lee Ledford also is buried at Valleytown Cemetery in Andrews. Rush Wilson has proved to be harder to find after 1920. One possibility is the man shown as William R. Wilson, 28 years old, in McMinn County, Tennessee in the 1930 Census, along with wife Irene and daughter Ruthie. Positive identification will take further research. My connection to the William M. Wilson family is through my great - grandmother Sarah Melvina Wilson Norman, fourth daughter of Manson and Brunetta and therefore a younger sister of William. In the 1910 Census, Brunetta reported having had 12 children, with 6 still living. Her six daughters were all alive in 1910, thus Brunetta had outlived all of her sons as well as her husband Manson, who died circa 1876. I am indebted to Melanie Chomko of the Columbus Wilson family for sharing her family information which gave me names and dates that aided my research.
