• [S363] Josiah T Jarman (alias: Joseph J Jeamon) (Pvt., Company A, Osage County Missouri Home Guards, Civil War), pension case file, pension application 1,141628, filed 16 December 1892, certificate 916,586; Civil War and Later Pension Files; Department of Veterans Affairs, Record Group (RG) 15; National Archives, Washington, D.C. Widow, Mary J Jarman, application 1,086,827, filed 16 Nov 1916, no certificate (pension was not granted).
  
  The following items describe, first, some general information about the file, and then several key items in the file, in roughly chronological order. Certain items in the file are not summarized below (sometimes because they provide no information that seemed to be of interest for family history or else provided duplicate information).
  
  1. The primary subject of the file is listed as Josiah T Jarman, with Joseph J Jarmon as an "alias". Both names are listed on some documents, although in most cases when the "Joseph" version is used, the last name often looks more Jarman than Jarmon.
  
  For the soldier (also sometimes called the "invalid", apparently since these Civil War pensions were, at first, given only to those disabled due to wounds): filed on 1892 Dec 16, application 1141628, certificate number 916586 (the presence of the certificate number means the pension was awarded), from state of MO. He lists service in two "union army" units: Company A Osage County MO Home Guards and Company A 28th MO Enrolled Militia. According to information on a St Louis Public Library web site, the federal government pension would have been based solely on the Home Guards service, the Enrolled Militia service was considered state (not federal) service. Some dates for the enrolled militia service are confusing and contradictory.
  
  For the widow: her name is Mary J Jarman, filed 1916 Nov 16, Application Number 1086827, no certificate number (her application was rejected), from state of MO. This Mary Jarman is his second wife. She is not the one named on his 1860 marriage record.
  
  2. A "jacket" that seems to have written on it a summary description of documents that were once contained in the jacket.
  
  3. The pension office's (11 Feb 1893) request to the army for his service records and the army's reply dated 13 Feb 1893 (which is a form pasted onto the form the pension office provided to the army as part of their request). The army seems to confirm the home guard service but states that no organization called the 28th MO Enrolled Militia ever entered service of the US (federal government). The statement about Osage County Home Guard service (Company A) is related to the "record of allowances made by the Hawkins Taylor Commission" (Hawkins Taylor was apparently the name of an individual).
  
  4. Affidavit from Thomas A Stephens (who was for at time married to a daughter of William C Fields and Keziah Jarman Fields). Someone had apparently asked Stephens to confirm that he knew Joseph T during their home guard service. The file contains another similar (confirmatory) affidavit (from another person). This is dated 31 May 1894.
  
  5. Affidavit from Josiah T. Jarman. It gives his 1894 address as Buffalo, Dallas County MO. He is apparently trying to answer questions the pension office had about his December 1892 application. Says he has eye problems and "general debility" and served in the Osage County Home Guard under the name of Joseph T Jarman. Dated 25 June 1894. Includes signature.
  
  6. Letter from the pension office to the office of an auditor in the treasury department asking them to look up Josiah T's service in the MO Enrolled Militia, dated 11 Feb 1895. Apparently this auditor organization (apparently in the US Treasury Department in Washington DC) for some reason has various MO state militia records (some requests for service records in the John Jarman pension file -- part of Lucy Jarman's widow's pension application -- were also to a treasury department auditor's office).
  
  7. Reply (6 April 1895) to the pension office in response to the request of the previous item. This suggests he enlisted in the enrolled militia in 1862, but it seems to initially have been just a roster of names. Then, when "called up" in 1864, he did not appear. A few other (different) dates for his service in this 28th militia show up elsewhere in the file.
  
  8. Another affidavit from Josiah T Jarman, dated 13 Dec1895. Here he appears to be responding to a request for additional information about the home guards unit he was in. The file does not appear to contain a copy of the letter he was responding to in this affidavit (and in at least one other). Gives names of officers in home guard unit and says he encloses his certificate of service (which was apparently not retained in the file). Includes signature (and a much neater one than on the 25 June 1894 affidavit).
  
  9. A "jacket" with writing on it to summarize information about his "case" over a several year period. A certificate number appears on this document, so the pension has been awarded (previously described items contained only his application number). A pension of $6 per month was granted on Sept 30, 1896, with "back pay" sent to him for the time between his original application (Dec 1892) and the date the pension was awarded. Then on Feb 10, 1903, his pension was increased to $8 per month, retroactive to August 20, 1902. The subjects addressed by some information on this jacket are unclear. There appears to me more about the enrolled militia service and about a request for a pension increase made in 1901 that was rejected. Placed in sequence in this list based on the 30 Sep 1896 date.
  
  10. A filled out questionnaire with family information, dated 21 Feb 1898. It would appear the government realized these veterans would soon begin dying off and wanted to get some handle on their eventual future liability for pensions for widows and dependent children. Lists 9 living children (living in 1898):
  
  Thomas H -- Feb 19, 1862
  Sarah P -- Aug 2, 1864
  Lucy C -- Feb 8, 1867
  William W -- April 29, 1869
  Laura F -- June 25, 1871
  Oliver B -- Sept 8, 1878
  Alonzo -- June 28, 1881
  Dovie -- June 28, 1881
  Newton C -- March 1, 1885
  
  His first wife still living at this time (1898).
  
  11. Basically the same form described in the previous item, sent again the same year (16 July 1898). It was filled with a different hand (except for the signature) and omitted details about the 9 living children.
  
  12. Request for a pension increase (17 April 1902). This apparently led to the increase to $8/month noted on the "jacket" described earlier (noted there as granted in Feb 1903). His address is now Bolivar in Polke (Polk?) County. Previously had been Buffalo in Dallas County. He does not mention the 28th enrolled militia service here. Perhaps he has figured out that it will only delay things (it may be mentioned in later documents in the file).
  
  13. Later, in April 1904, he seems to be granted another increase to $10/month based on a request filed August 31, 1903. This is documented by an internal pension office review sheet in the file. The actual August 1903 request does not seem to be in the file.
  
  14. An affidavit submitted in Feb 1904 while his application for the increase (the one eventually approved in April 1904) was pending. Josiah's address is Bolivar, Polk County, MO. His first wife was living at this time. States that it is not possible for him to travel to Springfield MO to provide information about his pension claim because he is a caregiver for his wife who is ill and has been down for 8 months and no prospect of recovery in the near future." Includes signatures as both Josiah and Joseph.
  
  15. Physician's affidavit. Appears to be part of the application that got him one of the earlier pension increases (perhaps the one awarded in May 1906 when his pension went up to $12/month). Date is difficult to read but is probably 8 Dec 1905.
  
  16. Report documenting a medical exam taken 18 April 1906. At this time, he was
  receiving the $10/month and was applying for an increase to $12/month. His address now seems to be Newkirk, in Kay County, Oklahoma (however, in a later document, he provides a list of all of the places he has lived, omits Oklahoma from that list). This one gives an interesting physical description -- 5 ft 8 3/4 inches, 130 pounds (? - middle digit is difficult to make out), blue eyes, and gray hair (at age 70). Includes a lot of (difficult to make out) information on his physical condition and seems to recommend pension be increased to $12/month.
  
  17. Pension office internal approval/worksheet indicating he was indeed awarded the pension increase to $12/month. Address again seems to be in Oklahoma Territory (Oklahoma became a state around 1907). Last dated signature on sheet seems to be 14 May 1906.
  
  18. Another "jacket". This one has written on it a summary history (or "logbook") of various pension office transactions concerning Josiah T Jarman between 1906 and 1912, plus a notation of his death in 1916 (plus a notation on the left hand side that appears to be concerned with sending -- in 1918 -- an accrual for his "last" pension payment to his widow -- this is the amount accumulated between the time of the last payment he received during his lifetime and the date of his death). The item contains several dates. It is placed in this location in this sequence of documents based on the earliest date on the document (1906).
  
  19. Document recording his second marriage on 18 October 1908 to Mary Jane McCoy in Dallas County MO (but states he was from Bolivar in Polk County - her residence was listed as Tilden in Dallas County). This was actually sent to the pension office by his widow around 1917, as part of her application for a widow's pension. Placed in this sequence based on the date of the marriage, not when it entered the pension office file.
  
  20. Another request for a pension increase (17 Feb 1911). Looks like he was entitled to an increase up to $20/month upon reaching age 75. He is now living in Tildon in Dallas County MO. Also, lists his physical description when he enlisted in 1861 -- age 25, 5 ft 9 in, auburn hair, blue eyes (and was a farmer -- most pension forms asked for occupation at time of enlistment; this one didn't but whoever filled it out put that in anyway). This description may have been copied from his discharge papers. In this one, he also mentions the MO enrolled militia service.
  
  21. Internal pension office approval form for the increase to $20/month effective 21 Feb 1911 (approval was apparently dated 7 Mar 1911, with increase apparently retroactive).
  
  22. Application for a pension increase dated May 27, 1912. This form contains a list of places he has lived (a list that does not mention Oklahoma).
  
  23. Application for a pension increase with final date of June 10, 1912 (some portions of the form were signed on 6 Jun 1912). It is unclear why two forms were submitted so close together (the June 10 one seems to indicate it is to supplement the May 27 one). The May 27 and June 10 forms are different, but seem to ask for mostly the same information (some questions are just phrased slightly differently). One possibility is that the May 27 form may have left off his pension certificate number. In the space for that certificate number, that "blank" the May 27 form instead contained a list of monthly pension amounts that he has received over the years. States he was born 12 Jan 1836 in Livingston County, KY and resides in Tilden, Dallas County, MO.
  
  24. Internal pension office approval form to increase his monthly pension to $21/month (Feb 1913). Also, this form notes that at various times he has listed his date of birth as both Jan 12 and Jan 24, 1836 (I think I have seen a notation about that in at least one other place in this file). Approvals dated March 1913.
  
  25. Filled-out general family information form sent to Josiah T by the pension office dated 2 Feb 1915. Two similar forms had been filled out back around 1898. His signature is via a mark on this one. Whoever filled this out seems to have been somewhat confused between his then-current marriage (to Mary) and his earlier marriage. The pension office apparently sent him a blank form. What is in the file is the filled-in form after he sent it back to them. Looks like someone else filled it out for him, but he signed it. His signature gets more and more shaky as years go by.
  
  The list of children's names on this document is interesting because it includes all
  12. The previous list included only the 9 who were living in 1898.
  
  The following list compares the names and birth dates from the two forms about 17 years apart (only birth years were listed in 1915) (1898 information on the
  left-hand side):
  
  Thomas H -- Feb 19, 1862 (1915: Thomas H -- 1862)
  Sarah P -- Aug 2, 1864 (1915: Sarah -- 1864)
  Lucy C -- Feb 8, 1867 (1915: Lucy J -- 1866)
  William W -- April 29, 1869 (1915: Willie -- 1869)
  Laura F -- June 25, 1871 (1915: Laura -- 1870)
  (1915: John -- 1872)
  (1915: Luvana? -- 1874)
  Oliver B -- Sept 8, 1878 (1915: Oliver -- 1876)
  Alonzo -- June 28, 1881 (1915: Lonie -- 1878)
  Dovie -- June 28, 1881 (1915: Dovie -- 1878)
  (1915: Louis -- ???
  might be 1882 in circle)
  Newton C -- March 1, 1885 (1915: Newt -- 1880)
  
  26. Envelope that apparently contained his last check (sent shortly after his death), but which seems to have been intercepted by the Post Office Department and returned to the pension office. The pension office seems to have relied upon post office delivery to let them know when pensioners died. His name and address is in block-letters that appear to have been printed by machine using a metal plate. The large numbers of pension checks (which seem to have been issued quarterly) were probably generated using these plates. A note on the document indicates "plate destroyed," probably referring to the plate used to generate his checks. Death date is listed as 26 April 1916.
  
  27. Internal pension office paperwork (apparently dated 13 May 1916) about stopping pension payments due to his death on 26 April 1916.
  
  28. Letter from his widow (who signs with a mark) asking about burial benefits. Letter dated 29 April 1916. File does not indicate if there were any available, or if any were paid.
  
  Most of the remainder of the file deals with material submitted by Josiah T Jarman's widow, Mary McCoy Jarman (his second wife). She seems to have applied for two related things: (1) the accrued pension for the last part of his life (the pension for the time between the date of the last check he received when alive and the date of his death -- the pension amounts were set based on a monthly rate, but checks apparently were sent out quarterly) and (2) an application (or declaration) for a widow's pension for her. The application for the accrued pension appears to date from shortly after his death on April 26, 1916, and she seems to have applied for the widow's pension around November 1916.
  
  The next two listed items all appear to be concerned with the accrued pension.
  
  29. Death certificate for Josiah (listing his parents as unknown -- unknown to Mary, apparently). Certificate was issued 8 Feb 1917 (delay could be related to certificate not being applied for until it was realized the having it would facilitate receiving widow's pension).
  
  30. A set of 3 documents providing information about her and her first husband (Joseph McCoy, he is said to have died in May 1906). One of these suggests her maiden name was McCoy, the same as her first husband's family name. These seem to be dated in Feb, Mar, and May 1917. One seems to have been witnessed by an Oscar(?) McCoy. Mary apparently did not write, her
  
  The next five documents are apparently related to her application for a widow's pension.
  
  31. Apparently the application for a widow's pension for Mary. The earlier application from her was apparently for only the accrued pension of Josiah's pension, the amount for the remaining months of the life of Josiah T Jarman after the last pension payment he received during his lifetime. This document appears to be dated 11 Nov 1916. Indicates she was born 17 Mar 1857, near Brice, Missouri. She married her first husband, Joseph McCoy, in April 1880, he died 1 May 1906, and she remarried on 18 Oct 1908. She signed with a mark.
  
  32. Affidavit by Perlina (or maybe Parlina) W Coffman and Robert Coffman dated May 1917. They give their ages as 52 and 62, respectively and their address as Bolivar, Polk County, Missouri. State that Josiah had been married to Visa Tindle (who died in 1904) and married Mary J McCoy (in October 1908). Includes a rather shaky signature by Perlina. Robert signed with a mark.
  
  33. Affidavit by Lina Coffman and Robert Coffman (who give their ages as 53 and 63, respectively. Document appears to be from May 1917. They claim to have attended the funeral of Visa Tindle in 1904. Again, the document includes her signature (less shaky that the previous one) and he signed with a mark. Parlina/Perlina/Lina W Coffman might be the married name of Perlina W Jarman, who is mentioned several times in the pension file for her mother's application for a widow's pension. Perlina Jarman's parents were John Jarman and Lucy Sills Jarman. Perlina would be a younger sister of Josiah T Jarman. Census records for the Coffmans suggest Parlina/Perlina/Lina was born around 1863. Lucy Jarman's pension file gave the year of Perlina's birth as 1861.
  
  34. Internal pension office approval/rejection form rejecting pension application for Mary Jarman because her marriage to Jarman did not take place prior to June 27, 1905, which was apparently the eligibility requirement in effect at that time for widow's pensions. This rejection appears to have been dated 20 April 1917.
  
  35. Letter dated 17 April 1917 informing Mary Jarman her pension application has been rejected.
  
  36. Carbon copies of two letters to a congressman dealing with her claim for the accrued portion of Josiah's final pension payment. Both letters dated 5 Jan 1918.

• [S640] Arizona Division of Vital Statistics Department of Health, death certificate State File Number 4020, Registrar No. 1574 (14 August 1950), Sarah Della (Moore) Clark; privately held by Carl Fields, Aiken, South Carolina. Certificate contains the following information: death in St. Joseph Hospital, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona on 14 August 1950; her usual residence was 416 N. 12th Street, Phoenix AZ; had lived in Phoenix Arizona for 27 years; married; born 4 November 1900, in Arkansas; full name: Della Sarah Clark; housewife; father: George Moore (born: Arkansas); mother: unknown (born: Arkansas); informant: Lawrence S. Clark of Phoenix AZ; cause of death: pulm malignancy (1 year), antecedent cause: cancer of breast (3 years); no autopsy; physician: P.(?) D. Beck, 1626 N. Central, Phoenix AZ (attended from 1944 until death); burial: Greenwood Cemetery, Phoenix AZ, on 17 August 1950; A. L. Moore & Sons Funeral Home, Phoenix AZ.
• [S641] Carl Fields now believes (speculates), as of September 2010, that the former Della Sarah Moore was indeed the wife of Virgil Aaron Fields (her first husband -- her husband at the time of her death was named Lawrence S. Clark). This concusion is based on the following items: (1) Carl's memory from visiting Greenwood Cemetery in Phoenix that V. A.'s wife was named Della; (2) presence of Della Moore (who was about the same age as V. A. as a close neighbor indicated by the 1920 census; (3) death certificate of a Della Sarah (Moore) Clark who died in Phoenix AZ in August 1950 (born Arkansas in 1900 according to the death certificate), appears to have died of a pulminary malignancy, resulting from carcinoma of breast diagnosed around 1947; (4) Carl's memory that one reason the Hanford Magness family drove from Newark Arkansas to Arizona around 1947 or 1948 was that Della was seriously ill (and it was apparently it was going to be their last chance to see her).

W. O. Fields seems to be listed as Widowed ("Wd" in Column 12 of the schedule, but the "d" seems to be crossed out). His marital status was probably divorced, rather than widowed in 1940. He had been divorced around 1934. It is not impossible he married again after that time, and then the second wife died before 1940. However Carl Fields never heard anything remotely like that in family folklore and a quick internet search in early August 2012 has not turned up any candiates for a such a marriage (although the availablility of internet marriage information is by no means complete and varies from state to state.

• [S863] Carl Fields, "Personal Recollections about Hanford Magness" :
  
  I lived with Uncle Hanford (and Aunt Ruby) from about ages 5 thru 15 for me (about ages 40 to 50 for him).
  
  He tried to be a father to me in many ways, but I probably failed him in many ways as a “son,” not being (then) very brave or aggressive or interested in “manly” stuff. I used to joke about how the reason I was never too interested in hunting or fishing was that the only times Uncle Hanford would take me was when the weather was so cold (or bad in other ways) that no one else would go with him (so, the joke went, in my mind, those activities were always associated with cold, wet weather). However, that joke really wasn’t fair to him; I probably got bored quickly was therefore a pretty miserable companion to have in a boat, or a long ways out in the woods.
  
  I recall on one occasion he rewarded me for learning to get onto a bicycle “like a boy”. I had learned to ride a bike on a “girl’s” bicycle that had been left in the “barn” (in a storage room in the Magness’s garage – the garage had apparently been constructed, in part, from lumber salvaged from a barn that had existed at the northwest corner of their property, which was torn down probably in the late 1930s or early 1940s; it continued to be called “the barn, even though it was, during my lifetime, only a garage”). The traditional way to get onto (mount?) a boys bicycle is to place one’s foot on the left pedal (standing on the pedal), then set the bike in motion (slowly), then swing one’s leg over the seat to the other pedal (while still in motion). Because of learning on a girl’s bicycle, I had difficulty, for a few weeks, getting on my “boy’s” bicycle the “male” way, after receiving the bike as a Christmas present (probably for Christmas 1954 – or possibly 1955). Eventually, I taught myself the “boy’s” way. Uncle Hanford rewarded me with a dime or a nickel the first time he observed me mounting the bicycle in this way. [I remember only the garage on the property. I found out about the existence of the earlier barn from an aerial photograph of Newark – and the surrounding area – that was displayed for a time in the Agriculture Building at the Newark School campus around 1958 or 1959. The photograph (really a mosaic of several photographs that was probably something like 3 feet by 4 feet – some of the individual photos may have been “strips” – my memory is fuzzy about details) was dated 1938, if I recall correctly. I had trouble recognizing the Magness property because the arrangement of buildings did not look “right: to me. I asked about this at home, and they told me about the existence of the older barn. Once they told me, I realized why some large squarish stones had probably been located (unused) in that part of the property; they had probably been foundation blocks (probably primarily under corners of the building) for the older barn.]
  
  He taught me how to play poker, probably in the fall of 1956 (after I had been exposed to poker at Boy Scout camp in California that summer, and did not know how to play). I had a roll of 100 pennies (or perhaps two such rolls). We played for pennies. In several sessions, over perhaps a month, he won my share of the pennies about four times (he would return the pennies to me and then we would play more). After about four times, he kept the pennies. At the time, I probably thought he was tired of teaching me. However, I now believe that he felt I had become a good enough player that he felt he “deserved” to have won those pennies (and perhaps that I needed to understand that when one lost at poker it was “for real” – and “forever”).
  
  He loved jokes – especially bathroom humor.
  
  I have very dim memories that (early in my stay with them, in the early 1950s) Aunt Ruby also used to go out fishing with him in the boat (always sort of a rowboat-type fishing boat, with, at most, a very small motor). Some of the fishing boats he had (or had part ownership in) may have been made by local amateur craftsmen and carpenters, not “factory made”. He fished with a bamboo pole, primarily for crappie (pronounced CROP-ee). I believe the Rameys gave him a rod and reel for Christmas one year, but I suspect he continued to use the bamboo pole. I remember a collection of yellowish bamboo fishing poles up in the rafters in his garage building (which was generally referred to as “the barn”). Each pole was probably 10-14 feet long.
  
  During the time I remember, he hunted only for small game, such as quail and squirrels. He talked about having gone deer hunting in the past, but had apparently stopped going on deer hunts at around the time he stopped drinking (in the mid-1940s, I imagine). I had the impression deer hunting trips had been several-day expeditions. I believe he also told me he had never bagged a deer on any of these trips. [My impression was that the number of deer taken by hunters in the 1930s and 1940s in Arkansas was much smaller than it has been before recent decades (1970s to 2000s). Perhaps the number of deer has increased. I always heard that Uncle Hanford had been a heavy drinker earlier in his life. I suspect there was a good deal of drinking on his “deer hunts”. It’s possible that he quit going on deer hunts at around the same time he stopped drinking.]
  
  At some point in the second half of the 1950s, someone opened a pool hall on lower Front Street in Newark (in the rental building on lower Front Street that was owned by the G. M. Fields estate). It turned out that he was an excellent pool player. Also, there were occasionally “Turkey Shoots” in Newark (the shooting was at clay “pigeons” thrown thru the air by some kind of machine – the prizes were dressed turkeys, probably frozen ones). I learned at this time that he was an excellent marksman (with a shotgun). I believe these Turkey Shoots were usually held on the grounds of the American Legion hut in Newark, with the participants shooting southward, over the no-longer-active gravel pit behind the hut.
  
  During the time I knew him his weight fluctuated from perhaps 210 pounds to 185 pounds. He was probably around six feet tall. He had blond hair, but thinning when I knew him.
  
  He worked for the Arkansas State Highway Department, at the district headquartered in Batesville. When I lived with him, his primary duty was to be the supervisor of a small crew of people (usually three of them) who put up signs in the district. I think he loved this job, getting to drive all over the district (and stop for pie and coffee at various places a couple times per day).
  
  One byproduct of his job was that the section of State Highway 69 between Batesville and Newark (the part he drove to and from work each day) had probably the most complete and best maintained signage in the state.
  
  The last several years of his life seemed quite sad to me. He suffered from crippling arthritis, eventually becoming unable to do the “sign crew” work. At that point, the manager of his district essentially “made” a job for him (not sure who I heard this from); my recollection (as this is written well over 40 years later) and understanding is that he became sort of a clerk in some kind of a supply room. My feeling is that he disliked this job, partly because of the lack of interaction with a wide variety of people that he had had in his old job, and because he was “penned up inside,” rather than being “out on the road” as in his old job.
  
  I was present once when he told someone (me perhaps) how he had planned to enjoy hunting and fishing after he retired, but that dream had been destroyed (even several years before retirement) by the crippling arthritis.
  
  One activity he did enjoy later is his life was being a grandfather. When his older grandson was perhaps 4 or 5 (late 1950s), there were (likely false) rumors of a bear being sited in Independence County. Whenever his grandson visited, Uncle Hanford would take his out for a drive “bear hunting.” I know that the Arkansas fish and game people were – at around that time -- trying to introduce bears into the state, to eventually have a hunting season for them (and I believe they do now have such a hunting season). I suspect they do have some bears in Independence County now (2012).
  
  In late 1970 (right around the time he turned 60), he began to be affected by hoarseness – and a change in the quality of his voice. It turned out he had lung cancer and the tumor had grown in some fashion so that it paralyzed one of his vocal cords (he had been a lifelong smoker). He took early retirement very near the end of 1970.
  
  I visited Arkansas around Christmas 1970 and, at least once, drove him to Little Rock for radiation therapy treatments. It was an exhausting drive in those days – the road went thru a series of small towns (in addition to exhausting effects of the debilitating effects of the treatments themselves). Al Ramey and I took him on one such trip – and I may have driven him (without Al) on a second trip – I believe he had to do the radiation treatments on something like a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. On the trip with Al and I, we stopped for pie and coffee at a restaurant part way to Little Rock (it may have been a Kelly’s Café in Bald Knob). When Uncle Hanford was in the men’s room (or perhaps talking to someone, away from our table) Al said to me that Hanford must really miss “this” -- the driving around the district and stopping at places for pie and coffee, and conversation.
  
  He, like so many others, had been a smoker the entire time I knew him.
  
  He attended the wedding where Donna and I were married in Pennsylvania in June 1971.
  
  He died in September 1971. Donna and I had just moved into a rented house on Bost Drive in West Mifflin PA. George Ann (I think it was her) called me around 4 or 5 AM (our time), waking us, with the news that her father had died. For many years after that (and perhaps still – as this is written in 2010), a death in the family was the first thing that came to mind whenever I was awakened at night by a phone call.
  
  At the funeral, I learned that he had died at home in his bathroom. He began hemorrhaging through his mouth while sleeping during the night. My understanding is that he had gone to the bathroom and kneeled down by the toilet, using it to catch the flowing blood. Then slowly lost consciousness from lack of blood. My recollections is that his other son-in-law Paul Cummings, who lived in Southside (in the Salado community – Southside apparently means “south of Batesville,” or perhaps south side of the White River in Independence County), had somehow met the ambulance in Batesville and rode to Newark with them -- or perhaps followed them, or arrived shortly afterward. Apparently the sight of Uncle Hanford lying on the floor surrounded by a lot of blood was something he did not like to think about or talk about much – but would probably never forget. I think I learned about this last bit of Hanford’s life from Aunt Ruby (who had been sleeping beside him) and from Paul.

• [S1098] Carl Fields, "Personal Recollections about George Ann Magness" :
  
  George Ann was late in her final year of high school when I began living with my aunt’s family in Arkansas around March 1950. I have a fuzzy memory of attending her high school graduation in (probably) April 1950. In those days (and perhaps still) high school graduation involved a church service (called a baccalaureate service, if I recall correctly). Each of the three churches in town had their own baccalaureate service for the students who attended that church (which the students attended in their caps and gowns). These services were in addition to the formal graduation, where all students were together.
  
  George Ann got a job working at the local telephone office immediately after graduation (my recollection is that Elouise Battles, the chief operator in Newark, called to offer her a job within just a day or two of her graduation – perhaps even a day or so before graduation).
  
  At that time, there was no “dial service” in Newark. One had to pick up the receiver, and turn a crank two or three times on a box of some type below and (as best I recall) separate from the receiver/transmitter unit. That crank somehow generated a signal that got the attention of the switchboard operator. You then told her the number (or the name of the person) you want to be in contact with. I still remember the Magness Family’s pre-dial phone number: 131J. I don’t remember any other phone numbers, but I do remember that the system of numbers did not make any sense to me – there didn’t really seem to BE a system. I also remember the first dial number at Aunt Ruby’s: PIlgrim 6-3552. (Interestingly, I don’t recall the mail box number, but it MIGHT have been 108 – this was a lock box at the post office in Newark. I suspect the box had a combination lock. If so, I don’t recall what the combination was.)
  
  The town’s “telephone office” (containing the manually-operated switchboard (two side-by-side units) was sort of in the “front room” of a home in Newark (not too far from the Church of Christ – eastward down Third Street from the Church, if I remember the street names correctly, although the house faced a north/south street whose name escapes me right now). Elouise and her family lived in the rest of the house (I believe her youngest child – a daughter, Katherine? – was in the class above mine – one year older than I was). After dial service came in (around 1955), Dixon Norris and his family lived in that house (and he may have purchased the house).
  
  George Ann worked at the phone office until she left home, well after she and Al Ramey married. This was probably after Al graduated from college.
  
  The job (and living at home) allowed her to buy lots of neat stuff. I think it was at this time that she bought (at first) a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera – and began a lifelong interest in photography.
  
  She married Al Ramey (then a college student) in May 1953. After Al graduated from college (early 1955, I believe) he was commissioned a US Air Force officer (he had been in ROTC) and remained in the Air Force for over 20 years. They lived in several different states as Al had different job assignments in the Air Force (Texas, California, Washington, Colorado, Missouri, and Georgia that I am aware of – and that come to mind as I’m writing this; Al also spent a year in Thailand during the Viet Nam War; George Ann and her daughters lived in a rented house in Batesville during that year).
  
  George Ann could make a to-die-for German Chocolate Cake.
  
  There was a large, mature grapevine (Concord grapes, I believe) just west of Aunt Ruby’s kitchen, adjacent to the garage, which was usually referred to as the barn. One summer (when she was married but still living mostly in Newark), she made “home made” wine from some of the grapes produced from that vine. It’s possible Al was in US Air Force Reserve Officer training camp that summer.
  
  George Ann, like her father, suffered from severe arthritis during the last several years of her life. Also, she was in a near head-on automobile accident in (I believe) the late 1980s, which severely injured one of her ankles. That injury (on top of the arthritis) severely hampered here mobility during the remainder of her life).
  
  George Ann died suddenly (from a heart attack) in Arkansas around April 2003, just about 6 weeks shy of having been married 50 years. She had been a smoker for (probably) over 50 years at the time of her death.
  
  My memory (based on conversations while in Arkansas to attend her funeral) is that George Ann had a sudden heart attack and was transferred to Little Rock by helicopter. She was conscious in Batesville immediately after the heart attack, but had entered a coma by the time her husband arrived in Little Rock. When he arrived, her heart and breathing were being assisted by a machine (he had to drive to Little Rock – no room for him in the helicopter). He said that by the time he arrived, they had done some tests on her, including a scan of some type that provided an image of arterial blockage. The doctor said the arteries near (or possibly within) her heart were so severely blocked that he could not do anything for her – and that (based on whatever type of scans they had done) the blockage was more severe than he had ever seen on a person who was still alive.
  
  George Ann’s widower, Allen Ramey, visited me in South Carolina in early October 2010 (I’m writing a portion of this in early November 2010). He said that he had (earlier in 2010, I believe) gotten his two daughters together and had them go thru George Ann’s 26 photo albums, taking the photos they wanted (and trying to identify the various people in the photos – she had apparently labeled very few as to who was in photos and when and where the photos were taken. (I think “26” was the number of albums that the mentioned. I kept silent when he mentioned how few of her album photos of people were annotated, since my photo collection is in a similar state.)
  
  He said that he still hasn’t started on the “hall closet full” of 35-mm slides, all still in their Kodak Carousel cassettes. He said the slides seem to be labeled to some degree. His memory is that these tend to be scenery (rather than people) and that she did not take large numbers of slides after they retired from the Air Force around 1976.
• [S1099] Carl Fields, "Personal Recollections about Bennie Magness" :
  
  
  Bennie graduated from high school in 1952. My memory is that after than she (like George Ann) worked in Newark as a telephone operator for a time. Also, she had a job in Little Rock for a time, living in an apartment shared with several other “girls” close to her age.
  
  Bennie took me by train to California in 1953, with an overnight stay in Kansas City (staying with her Aunt Philomine). My dad paying fares for the two of us.
  
  Bennie married in early 1954. The summer after her marriage, she went to a town in the western part of the lower peninsula of Michigan to live with Paul Cummings (her husband) while he was there to pick fruit. They were living there when Billy was born. Some time after they returned, Paul got a job working on the Arkansas State Highway Department (perhaps with some assistance from Uncle Hanford, who had worked there for some time).
  
  Here are some other notes about personal recollections of Bennie that I hope to have an opportunity to expand on at some point:
  
  Salado house had outdoor plumbing for a few years after they bought it.
  
  Paul raised pigs for a time, before he started his road paving business.
  
  The also had a milk cow for a time.

• [S1180] Carl Fields, "Personal Recollections about Wynona Fields" :
  
  I met Wynona only a few times. She was Wynona Wheeler when I knew her. She had apparently married a Hansel Green in Arkansas in the early 1940s, so I guess Mr Wheeler was a second marriage (at least a second one).
  
  I was quite surprised when I saw her entry in the 1940 census (living in Newark with Uncle Orville). I thought both of them lived in Arizona continuously after the mid-1920s, perhaps moving there even earlier than that (although a hint of this is that Uncle Orville’s divorce was granted in Arkansas, in the 1930s, I believe). I was also surprised that the census entry indicated she had completed two years of college (which I speculate MIGHT have been nursing school – I SEEM to recall her mother might have been a nurse, possibly an LPN).
  
  She was in a very bad automobile accident, perhaps in the late 1950s (but it could have been the early 1960s – my memory is fuzzy; also, I have a vague recollection that her husband may have been killed in that same accident). One of her legs was badly injured, and she never fully recovered from the accident. When I last saw her (possibly around 1988, or possibly when I visited Arizona in 1977 – she died in 1989), one of her leg had been amputated. My memory (all from hearsay from my dad and stepmother, over several years) is that the amputation was actually several years after the accident. The injured leg give her problems of some type for several years after the accident. She had apparently gone into the hospital for some kind of treatment (possibly surgery) for the leg. While in the hospital, the leg became infected from some type of hospital-born contamination. I seem to recall hearing that she had contracted something like “TB of the bone” which (I imagine in conjunction with the earlier damage to the leg) eventually led to the amputation. I also heard that several other women who had been in the same ward of the same hospital contracted the same illness (the “TB” thing). All of this is, as I said, very fuzzy memories of hearsay.
  
  I have heard some someone (Bobby Brightwell, perhaps) that Wynona MAY have had a child. However, I have no memories of ever hearing of a cousin who was her son or daughter.

  Microfilm images from issues published between approximately mid-1922 to mid-1923 were examined by Carl Fields at the Independence County library around June 13, 2015. Items relating to individuals and families covered in this database were photographed. The reason Carl was examining these particular issues was that they included issues from 1923. Carl was interested in finding an obituary for Alma Childress (whose married surname was Craig). He knew (from a grave marker) that she died in 1923, but probably did not previously know her actual date of death. Digital images (from photographs) are retained in Carl Fields electronic/digital files (TMG Version 9.05 Exhibits Folder). As this is written (24 Aug 2015), Carl hopes to return to the Independence County Library some future time to examine microfilm images of additional issues of this newspaper.
