Consolidation of Carey School

NadyneLynn1940 — 21 Apr 2008 7:02:06 GMT

I need to know the first year several schools consolidated with Carey--included were Valley View, Prairie Hill, Purple Hill, and others. Was it 1927-1928 or 1928-1929. I have a picture of nearly 200 students standing in front of the schoolhouse with a sign that reads "Carey Consolidated High School 1928." I think it was a picture of the first students after the consolidation, but was it taken in the fall of 1928 or the spring of 1928? Please help. Nadyne Faulkenberry Lynn

WWI Soldier's photos found

sykoram1 — 22 Jun 2007 5:50:28 GMT

My great grandfather found a wallet containing photos when he was stationed in Germany in WWI. My grandmother told me that it was his intention to find its owner. I came across it after she had passed away and would like to find a family member to return it to. There are very few names listed on the photos. There are three copies of a picture of a soldier that I assume is the owner. The back of one photo of a woman says "to Clifford from Lena". There is also a photo of two women standing by what seems to maybe be a mailbox with "T.A. Deisman" on it. There are other photos of people working on a ranch, groups of couples, and a small child that is in more than one photo. The photos were found in a leather wallet with "City National Bank Childress, Texas" embossed on the front. There is also a calling card(?) with "Miss Vida Welch" on the front and "Haskell, Tex." on the back. Any help in finding family of the owner is greatly appreciated.

MORGANs in Childress County

asis1950 — 25 Jun 2007 7:13:34 GMT

I am trying to locate information on the family of my aunt.

Minnie Ola Ivey (b. 01 Nov 1894, d. 01 or 02 Mar 1920 in Childress, TX) and I'm guessing she was buried around Childress. Minnie married W. A. Morgan. Minnie was from the Grayson County area, so it is possible she was married there. Children of W. A. and Minnie (based on oil/gas leases from OK in the 1930's) were Desment (b. abt. 1912), Ray (b. abt. 1916) and William (b. abt. 1918)

I was told Minnie was buried in a cemetery by a creek translated to mean "head of the elm". I don't remember what the actual name of the place was.

Does any one have any information on this Morgan family. I have information on Minnie's parent, grandparents, siblings, etc. But her and her family are brick walls I am trying to chip away at.

SYLVESTER JORDAN FAMILY EARLY 1900's

carolscollectibles — 12 Feb 2007 8:42:36 GMT

I'm searching for my great-grandfather, William Jordan born in Missouri in mid to late 1800's.

He married Martha Virginia "Mattie" Gibson who lived in Ellis County, TX at the time of their marriage (1891 or 1892).

At that time there was a JORDAN family living in Ellis County, TX. The head of the family was Sylvester Jordan who had a son by the name of William Jordan... born in Missouri.

I'm trying to find out if this particular William Jordan is my great-grandfather.

Mr. Sylvester Jordan moved to Childress before 1910, but his son William was not living with the family.

After William married Mattie they moved to Ardmore, OK where Mattie gave birth to my grandmother, Sallie Alice Jordan.

If you have knowledge of this Jordan family I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you.

I have her Lewellen history back to Anderson Lewellen born 1764 Prince Edward VA.

I have not tried to go back any further than that. I am trying to fill in missing information on the persons that I allready have. The easy stuff is done. what remains is the difficult stuff. Geting wills, land records etc.

A son of Anderson, John Lewellen, b. 2 Dec. 1812 was the first Sheriff ever elected in Scott Co. TN. After moving to Temple, Bell Co. TX. they later moved to the Shep Community 30 miles from Abilene, TX. and the family is buried at Bradshaw TX.

Thank you so very much. This sure helps to fill in some of the blanks on this family.

I belive that Columbus may be still living and in Childress. There is one listed in the phone directory. However it could be his son, that is if he had one named after him.

There are 4 of us serious researchers working on the Lewellen line and have a good history on the family going back to the 1700's. I just had a lot of blanks on the family of Timothy. And you are correct there was 2 of them. A father and son with different middle initals. My ggrandmother on my mother's side is a Lewellen.

The Timothy that you show is the father who died and was buried in MO. then dug up and brought back to Childress, by the children. I just found that out yesterday.

In passing, we had NO rain in November at all and only 2 nights of freezing weather. Gas has FINALLY come down and is now $1.97. It is supposed to be 85 degrees tommorrow.

We always pray for rain out here because we get so little of it.

I recently saw Opal Roberts' obituary in the Amarillo Daily news (9/24/04). The only family history given was that she was survived by several nephews one of whom was Doyle Burns.

I would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with this family.
Thank you.
