Descendants of Matthew Pickens Young
Generation No. 1
1. Matthew Pickens9 Young (John8, Matthew7, Matthew6, James5, John4, Andrew Lamont3, John2 Lamont,
Gilbert Lamont Baron1 McGorrie)1,2,3 was born Abt. 1805 in Kentucky, and died in Alabama. He married
Martha McDonald 26 Jul 1822 in Warren County Kentucky, daughter of Allen McDonald and Juditha Smith.
She was born 01 Jun 1808 in Kentucky, and died in Marion County Alabama.
Notes for Matthew Pickens Young:
1. Through the courtesy of Wanda Wells of Alton, IL we have the journals and marriage records of Rev. Joseph
P. Howe available. He was the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Mount Sterling and the Springfield
Presbyterian Church in Bath County from 1795-1830. Rev. Howe's files have the marriage of Matthew P. Young
and Patsy McDonald.
2. On the 1860 census, Marion Co. Alabama, the name looks like William. On the 1860 census the name looks
like Matthew P. Young.
3. From the McDonald Genforum, Sharon Shumate: Martha Patsy McDonald b. 6/1/1808 in KY (daughter of
Angus and Judith Young McDonald) m. Matthew Pickens Young 7/26/1822 in Warren Co., KY.
4. From Tracy Drane: Tracy's Family Tree on Ancestry.com: Birthdate for Matthew Pickens was 11 Dec 1804 in
Kentucky"
"Genealogy & Ancestry of Descendent of Tom & Martha Clark by W. S. Ross "According to Aunt Cora, wife of
Samuel Andrew Young, the older folks of the Young family came from the Carolinas. They came by boat,
carrying all their possession including the livestock, around Florida into the Gulf of Mexico and back up the coast
where they landed at Mobile, Alabama. From there they went by covered wagon to Northwest Alabama where
they settled. Aunt Cora thinks that the parents of Samuel Fletcher Young, her husband's father, were born in the
Carolinas. However, she is not sure about their birthplace. The oldest member of the family we know of is
Pickens Young, father of Samuel Fletcher Young. He married a woman by the name of McDonald, but her first
name is not remembered. They were the parents of several children including Samuel Fletcher Young and Tom
Young. There were one or more brothers lost in the Civil War, but we can find not record of their names. In the
National Archives there is a record of a Jno. W. Young serving in the same company and regiment as Samuel
Fletcher Young and this could be an indication that one of his brother enlisted and served in the war with him, but
at this time there is no proof that he was a brother." This information was shared at the Young Family Reunion in
1999 in Tupelo, Mississippi. There are several reasons this may have been possible but this seems highly
unlikely and other information has been found about the family. 1. They would have had to have a considerable
amount of money to travel by boat, especially with their possessions and livestock. 2. There are no records found
showing that they came into the port of Mobile. 3. It does not fit the migrations of the times and, 4. It doesn't
seem likely they would have traveled from Kentucky to the Carolinas and then taken a boat back to Alabama.
There are several Youngs who settled in Tennessee who came from Kentucky about the same time. Possibly
William (Matthew) Pickens and Martha came through Tennessee and then on to Northwest Alabama.
Notes for Martha McDonald:
Martha (Patsy) McDonald was a sister to Juda McDonald Turner. Juda was the mother of Lucinda Margaret
Turner who married Issac Green Young.

Civil War. He joined with his neighbors in organizing the Lebanon School and became one of its first trustees.
Tom farmed and took advantage of the wild horses and cattle that still roamed the area. He endured several
droughts and lost two children within three weeks in 1878. Another son, retarded by the salt famine and
starvation factors of the Civil War, would die at the age of twenty-five. Another son, Huston, had been blind since

Betty Holiday. After two children, Betty died in 1885. He remarried and had fourteen children, including two sets
of twins, but four died in infancy. One set of twins were born in in a covered wagon that was parked on the
Weed's place near a creek. Mrs. Weed delivered Velma and Thelma before the doctor could arrive. Like his
father, A. J. was a staunch Methodist and up upright man, interested in his children and his community. He left
Live Oak County in 1909, going to San Patricio County, where he had a sorghum mill near the town of Gregory,
until about 1921 when he moved to the town of Sinton and became the Justice of the Peace"

Notes for Thomas Howard Clark:
Excerpts from "Genealogy and Ancestry of Descendants of Tom and Martha Clark" by W. S. Ross (1980):
Page 6: "Thomas Howard Clark was the only child of Nicholas A. Clark and an immigrant girl names
______Miles from Ireland. He was evidently raised in the southern tradition as Clovis Mitchell Clark, his oldest
son, recalls him telling stories of how his mother had to whip the slaves to get them to work, and how she used
her Irish ability to manage the plantation after her husband disappeared during or after the war. Thomas Howard
Clark was a farmer by occupation and a shrewd trader according to his son, C. M.. Clark. About 1895 he moved
his family to Monroe, Oklahoma, in the southeast part of the State where they lived for about two years. The first
year the crop was good, but the second year the crop failed and they moved back to Mississippi. Mr. Clark
bought a farm a few miles east of Mantachie, Mississippi, where he lived the rest of his life and raised his family.
Thomas Howard Clark was twice married. His first wife was Rachel Elvira Young, but she died in childbirth, the
first year of their marriage. His second marriage was to Martha Elizabeth Young, the next older sister of his first
wife. They were the parents of nine children. "
Page 9 Section i: When Thomas Howard Clark died on February 20, 1917, (tombstone record) his daughter Ethel
Sims was bedfast recovering from the birth of her daughter Nannie Mae. In order that she might have a last look
at her father before he was buried her brothers brought the pine-board coffin to her house, carried it inside where
it was opened that she might have that final look. (This information was told to W. S. Ross by Ethel (Clark)
Sims).

Notes for Charles Owen Cherry:
These are some of the stories that were in the family and some of the information found in newspaper articles.
1. Information from family indicate that he was shot to death at his home after an argument over money. Story
from family says that his son, Newell, who was approximately three years old at the time, was found crawling
over his father's body in the yard.
2. In a conversation with Dewdrop Clayton on March 30, 2006 she said her mother told her this story about the
death of Charlie Cherry. Charlie had a small cotton patch near the house and was plowing it when a Mr. Blaylock
came up. Charlie spoke to him and said "Good Morning". Mr. Blaylock pulled a pistol and shot Charlie. Loamie
and the boys were on the porch (at another time she said they were playing in the yard) and saw the shooting.
Dewdrop said that her mother never did like the Trapp family because Mr. Trapp (Oscar) was the sheriff when
Charlie was killed. It is assumed that Kate and the family did not like the way things were handled by Mr. Trapp.
3. Nell Avery said she was told that Sam Young was with her grandfather when he was shot and that Sam had to
testify at the trial. She said she was also told that her grandfather was a surveyor and thought there was a dispute
over some land he had surveyed.
4. Roger Young told a story about the death of Charlie Cherry that was told to him by his father, Samuel Andrew
Young. (See transcript of conversation in April 2006).
5. From W. S. Ross book Page 104: ".......He was shot and killed by a neighbor, his landlord, during an
altercation between the two men in July of 1908". On Thursday, May 11, 2006 articles concerning the death of
Charlie Cherry were found in the "Tupelo Weekly Journal". These articles tell about the murder of Charlie Cherry
and the arrest and sentencing of W. W. "Will" Blaylock. (See text item at end of book.)
6. Charlie's sister, Louie, is buried at Campbelltown cemetery. Her tombstone is broken. Charlie Cherry does not
have a stone, but possibly he is buried next to his sister. Campbelltown cemetery is situated at the intersection of
Mississippi Highway 348 and County Road 833, just a few hundred yards west of U. S. Highway 45 and
bordering the Guntown city limits. New stones were purchased for the graves." In Memory of Louie Daughter of

the difference in the spelling of Sabre and Sabra was given by Avanelle since Dewdrop
pronounced it with an "e" rather than an "a" and the others must have done the same.

while nursing. Dewdrop said she was a small child and her mother told her to run and get her
daddy.

Excerpts from "Genealogy and Ancestry of Descendants of Tom and Martha Clark" by W. S. Ross (1980):
Page 6: "Thomas Howard Clark was the only child of Nicholas A. Clark and an immigrant girl names
______Miles from Ireland. He was evidently raised in the southern tradition as Clovis Mitchell Clark, his oldest
son, recalls him telling stories of how his mother had to whip the slaves to get them to work, and how she used
30
her Irish ability to manage the plantation after her husband disappeared during or after the war. Thomas Howard
Clark was a farmer by occupation and a shrewd trader according to his son, C. M.. Clark. About 1895 he moved
his family to Monroe, Oklahoma, in the southeast part of the State where they lived for about two years. The first
year the crop was good, but the second year the crop failed and they moved back to Mississippi. Mr. Clark
bought a farm a few miles east of Mantachie, Mississippi, where he lived the rest of his life and raised his family.
Thomas Howard Clark was twice married. His first wife was Rachel Elvira Young, but she died in childbirth, the
first year of their marriage. His second marriage was to Martha Elizabeth Young, the next older sister of his first
wife. They were the parents of nine children. "
Page 9 Section i: When Thomas Howard Clark died on February 20, 1917, (tombstone record) his daughter Ethel
Sims was bedfast recovering from the birth of her daughter Nannie Mae. In order that she might have a last look
at her father before he was buried her brothers brought the pine-board coffin to her house, carried it inside where
it was opened that she might have that final look. (This information was told to W. S. Ross by Ethel (Clark)
Sims).

John4, Andrew Lamont3, John2 Lamont, Gilbert Lamont Baron1 McGorrie) was born Mar 1872 in Alabama. He
married Artemas Roxie ? Abt. 1901 in Alabama. She was born Abt. 1875 in Alabama.
Notes for George Cleberne Young:
Information from Reggie Young III, descendent of Thomas Benton Young:
1st marriage before 1901, wife
died. He (George) was known to visit his first wife's grave regularly throughout his life. When he (George) was
working in the coal mine he lived in Nauvoo, Alabama. Source: Eyewitness Reggie Young Sr.
Notes for Artemas Roxie ?:
32
Information from Reggie Young III, descendent of Thomas Benton Young: 1910 Census shows that she was
married before George C. Young. It also shows that she has had five children and only two are living. However,
she was married to George in 1901 and there are three children listed, the oldest having been born in 1903. So I
assume the census is wrong.

shows Howard married to Lizzie around 1902, but the 1910 census for T. B. Young shows a "Howard Young boarder 0 unmarried". So are these the same Howard and the 1910 cemsus is wrong or they not the same Howard,
which means one isn't Tom Benton Young's son.

in Ratliff, Miss., and moved to Osceola in 1917. They are the parents of six children, 10 grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren
"Interested in family and ball games on television, was a Methodist, was a very good gardener. Dave Young was a
36
very intense family man and a well respected law enforcement officer. He moved his family to Osceola at the end
of World War One and worked for Clay Ayers as a farmer. He eventually became a town marshall in Osceola,
then a deputy sheriff for Mississippi county. He retired as deputy sheriff in 1965. He occasionally enjoyed a good
laugh, but for the most part did not put up with any foolishness from his family or those he arrested. Grandfather
was also a man of his word. He took great pride in living by his word. According to an article in the 2-824
Osceola Times, Dave Young was a candidate for city marshall. He was running against incumbent Frank Conway.
The article states that Grandfather was already a night marshall. The 4-4-24 edition stated that Grandfather was
defeated by the incumbent 182 to 106" Some of this information for David Elmer Young is from Hank Macknee

Notes for Zula Lillian Cummings:
Information from a granddaughter, posted on Ancestry.com: Grandmother Young was a highly enjoyable person.
She always made sure her children were clean and properly dressed. She always made sure one had a good meal,
but always expected one to do some work for it. I always enjoyed being around her. She ran her house like clock
work and if you wanted her to so something for you, you had to do something for her in return. Her cooking was
exceptionally good. I never knew anyone to leave her house hungry. I never knew her to say a cross word about
anything or anyone. Her family always came first.

2. From Reggie Young III: He was generally a nice person unless he was drinking. He like
to drink. He went to a high school basketball game and took a beer with him. He had already
had a lot to drink. The coach told him to get rid of the beer but he refused. He ended up
fighting the whole basketball team. He beat them. At one point someone broke a wooden
chair over him and it just made him mad. The next day, after he sobered up, he apologized to
everyone for beating them up. He was killed in WWII during the Battle of the Bulge. The
story handed down says that a German sniper shot him while he was trying to save a medic
who had been shot. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously.
(Note: there is no government record listing him as a MOH winner). He looked like an
Italian gangster.

2. Obituary from Southwest Texas Conference Bulletin, a Methodist publication:
The Rev. J. Leonard Rea was born March 7th, 1884 near Tupelo, Mississippi. When he was five years old, his
family moved to Texas. His early childhood was surrounded with the influence of a Christian home and by the
early teens, he had decided to become a minister. He was licensed to preach by the Dublin District Conference on
June 27th, 1902. He began his ministry on the Josephine Circuit in the North Texas Conference. Later, he served
the Weston Circuit, the Britton Circuit and the Couts Memorial Church in Weatherford, TX. He attended John
Tarleton College in Stephenville and Polytechnic College in Fort Worth. During his pastorate at Weatherford, he
met Miss Vonnie Simmons of Nocona, TX. She was a student at Polytechnic College. On May 4th, 1909, Brother
Reas and Miss Vonnie Simmons were married.
During his ministry, Rev. Rea organized four churches which included Tenth Street Methodist Church and
Buchanan Street Methodist Church in Armaillo; Tyler Street Methodist Church in Dallas and Crestview
Methodist Church in Austin. Other churches included in his ministry in the North Texas Conference were Mt.
Vernon and Forney. He transferred to the Southwest Conference and was appointed to the Mercedes in the Rio
Grande Valley. In 1924, he moved to Kenedy and later served in El Campo; Los Angeles Heights in San Antonio
and Grace Methodist Church in Austin. He ministered for two years in Alice and Brownsville, four years in
Yoakum, and six years in Smithville, where he retired in 1952.
After his retirement he became a 'supply pastor' for the Executive Secretary of the Austin City Mission Board.
Soon after retirement, he became an Associate Pastor at First Methodist Church in Austin. He was serving his
thirteenth year in this appointment at the time of his death, March 27th, 1965. Brother Rea has been active in the
Methodist Ministry for more than sixty years. Even in retirement, he was about the work of the church. He was a
faithful servant of God. He was a devoted pastor and a true friend. He made a lasting impression for good upon
the lives of the people of the church and communities where he lived.
3. From Michael Rea Family History Site - Internet Article in the Wichita Daily News September 23, 1911 in a
column entitled "Burkburnett Starbeams": "Rev. J. Leonard Rea will fill his regular appointments here Sunday but
leave Monday for Electra to assist in a revival to begin Sunday. This will be the eleventh revival he has held since
53
spring"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Texas Historical Marker - Tyler Street Methodist Church - Dallas Texas
"On November 27, 1911, the North Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, appointed the
Rev. J. Leonard Rea (1884 - 1965) to establish a parish in Dallas to be known as Tyler Street Methodist Church.
The congregation was organized on January 29, 1912, with 166 charter members. A sanctuary for the new church
was built on the corner of Tyler and Sunset streets in July 1912. The Rev. Mr. Rea continued as minister, and the
first report of the congregation to the denomination Annual Conference revealed a membership of 304. By 1921
the need for a new building had arisen. A site was acquired at Tenth and Polk streets, and the congregation moved
into a partially completed building that year. Construction resumed in 1923 and a large sanctuary was completed
in 1925. During the difficult period of the Great Depression the church building was closed by creditors. The
congregation met in Sunset High School from March 1932 until they could return to their facilities in the fall of
1933. Since that time, the congregation has continued to grow, and additional buildings have been added to the
property. Tyler Street United Methodist Church remains a vital part of the community."

Notes for Vanbara May "Vonnie" Simmons:
Obituary for Vonbara May Simmons Rea:
Mrs. J. Leonard Rea, whose maiden name was Vonnie Simmons, was born at Pinson, Tennessee on July 19th,
1888, and died in Austin, Texas on November 13th, 1974. The second daughter of George and Annie Mays
Simmons, she was still a child when the family moved to Nocona, Texas. She continued to live in Texas the rest
of her life. After completing public schools in Nocona, she attended Polytechnic College in Fort Worth. Also a
student there was a young minister whom she had met earlier when he had conducted a revival in her home
church. On May 4th, 1909, Vonnie Simmons and this young minister, J. Leonard Rea, were married and thus
began her career as a Methodist minister's wife.
Their first assignment was Couts Memorial Methodist Church of Weatherford in the Central Texas Conference.
Later, a transfer to the Southwest Conference took them to pastorate in the Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, and
Austin. Included in smaller town appointments were long assignments at Yoakum and Smithville. Later, in
retirement years, their dedicated service continued when Reverend Rea was named associate pastor at First
Methodist Church in Austin, a position he held for thirteen years until the time of his death in 1965.
In their appointments, Mrs. Rea worked diligently and enthusiastically in the total program of the church. Over a
span of many years, she taught adult Sunday School classes where her thorough preparation and earnestness of
purpose left an indelible mark on the lives of many. A faithful worker in the women's work, she held life
membership in the Women's Society of Christian Service. She participated fully in its meetings and shared much
through time and talent. Having a vital interest in must, encouraged through childhood and college training, she
sang regularly for many years in the church choir and provided piano accompaniment for numerous church
meetings. She was an artist of some note. Her paintings, especially those dealing with religious subject, reflected
her strong belief in God's love and the beauty of nature in His world.
Being a pastor's wife in the fullest sense was a lifelong goal and commitment to Mrs. Rea. No one respected the
position more fully nor cherished its opportunities and challenges more conscientiously than she. Always aware
that she was working with her husband - never in place of him - she took quiet pride in fulfilling this role
sincerely, while ever mindful of her job as wife and mother. Through a tactful manner, good judgement, and keen
perception of situations she gave able support of her husband's work. Never one to pass on unkind remarks, she
was generous in praise and refrained from blaming others. To her, the place of a minister's wife was one of high
calling. Described by friends as a "gentle spirit with poise and dignity," she was humble, cheerful, patient, and
above all, kind. Her eagerness for learning kept her young at heart; her willingness to accept any circumstance of
life gave her peace of mind. She was grateful for little joys. She was a tender, loving wife and mother. She
delighted in reading the scriptures and had many favorite passages marked. Her prayer life was fervent; her
Christian witness steadfast and continuous.

Michael Rea Family Website - Internet:
1.Western Elaterite Roofing Company Building
The Ravens Nest Gallery at 1425 West 13th Avenue occupies the former Western Elaterite Roofing Company
Building, built in the early 1900s. Edward J. Yetter founded the company in 1899 and by the mid-1950s it had
grown into the largest company in Colorado specializing in roof installation and repair.
The site is important for the unusual nature of the business arrangements. That is, after 1946, following the terms
of Mr. Yetter's will, all profits from the company went into the Yetter Foundation for distribution to churches,
several Colorado colleges, and Colorado incorporated charities. The structure retains much of its original integrity
and external appearance, and has many of the original beams, walls, windows, doors and a freight elevator,
providing evidence of the manufacturing processes that occurred there. The building has long been associated
with use of adjacent railroad tracks.

A FRIEND
"Tupelo Weekly Journal" July 17, 1908 In Memoriam On June 25th, just as the beautiful sun was sending his
first golden rays over this fair land of "Dixie" one of those beautiful angels of God wended its way back to earth
and called unto its Father the sweet spirit of Prof. D. O. Hankins, and in his going away he left a wife to look and
cry, "O God, how can it be". Dee, as he was generally known had been sick only a short time; and those nearest
and dearest to him did not realize that his earthly mission must end, until a few hours before his death. He was
born Jan. 28, 1886, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Hankins. He educated himself for a teacher. The writer
had know him for a number years. A more quiet and pious young man we never knew. Striving for the upbuilding
of himself and his country, and would one day have made his mark in the world, but, God , who doeth all things
has called him from the walks of man. He was married to Miss Pearl Young on Oct. 27, 1907, and a happier
union was never consummated. What was one's the others pleasure, and in his last moments he requested his
father and brother to always see that Pearl was taken care of. He then turned to his father-in-law, J. P. Young, and
in words that would almost melt the hardest heart, gave back to him his daughter and said, "Take good care of
Pearl." Thus closed the life of one who trusted Jesus for it all, being fully reconciled and satisfied of a home
beyond. He was laid to rest in the cemetery at Spring Hill, where a very large crowd had gathered to bear
testimony to the esteem in which he was held and to express the sympathy of the community to the heart broken
ones. By request Rev. Frank Williams of Itawamba County conducted the funeral services and as a theme he used,
"When a man dies shall he live again", and with these remarks everyone was made to feel that soon we would all
pass over, under the shade of the trees and dwell forever. A. T. S.

3. Excerpts from "Genealogy & Ancestry of Tom and Martha Clark" by W. S. Ross 1980 Page 11: ",,,, During
his younger years he worked at cutting timber in what was called Twenty-Mile Bottom, a heavy timbered tract of
bottom land on the Tombigbee River, close to the mouth of Twenty Mile Creek. The logs cut were hauled to a log
yard, a bare piece of ground on the bank of the river several acres in extent, where they were stacked until the
river would rise. When the river came up, no matter what time of day or night, the men were mobilized and put to
work rolling logs into the river and fastening them into rafts of ten or twelve logs each. These log rafts were then
floated down twelve logs each. These log rafts were then floated down the river to the lumber mills at Mobile,
Alabama. ......About 1916 C. M. Clark purchased a peanut thrasher pulling it through the country-side with a pair
of mules as he custom thrashed the neighborhood farmer's peanut crop. In 1921 Mr. Clark was persuaded by his
bother-in-law Marion Tucker to move to Oklahoma where he share-cropped a farm two miles north of Stillwater,
Oklahoma. That farm is now covered by the water of Boomer Lake which was the water supply of Stillwater for a
few years. During the next few years Mr. Clark rented and farmed several farms in Payne County, .....finally
moving back to the George Fentiman farm where he lived until he bought his own farm two miles south and three
miles east of Perkins, Oklahoma. After two producing oil wells were brought in on this place he retired and
bought a home in Perkins, OK." According to the obituary dated 24 Jun 1964 in "The Stillwater Press" for
Clovis Clark found in the W.S. Ross book, Clovis died at the Hearthstone Rest Home after a lingering illness.

poetry, and that always gave her a positive outlook on life. But, she was realistic enough to know what hard

D. E. from his home at 825 Betty Lynn in Osceola to a retirement home in Little Rock. This was done without the
courtesy of telling family members residing in Osceola. this was done, using the reasoning of medical evaluation,
according to the youngest daughter, Ann. D. E.'s new residence is Riley's Oak Hill Manor South #HPR9, 8701
riley Drive Litle Rock, AR 72205. His phone number is (501) 228-2592. It should be interesting to note that none

Notes for Gratz Cummings "Billy" Young:
1. "Father was your typical average family man who only wanted to get by for himself, but always wanted the best
for his family. His great amount of common sense always left people wondering why he never went farther than
he die. He could fix just about anything. Being born into a law enforcement family, he tried his hand at it
following his discharge from the U. S. Navy afterworld War Two. He did not stay with it long because he could
not raise his family on the pay. He worked as a parts clerk for the local Chevrolet dealership and an independent
parts house, and worked for a time with the Corp of Engineers on the Mississippi river. He finally got a job as the
custodian at the local post office in the early 1950's. He always maintained his connection with law enforcement
by working part time as a patrolman and dispatcher with the Osceola Police Department. Even though he was
named "Gratz' but his mother, his father gave him the nickname "Billy" and that stuck with him throughout his
life." Information posted on Ancestry.com by his granddaughter - Contact Unknown
2. He received his GED while in the Navy during WWII.
More About Gratz Cummings "Billy" Young:
Cause of Death: lung cancer
Notes for Evelyn Marie Warner:
"Mother was a small person but very big of heart. she cared for all and highly enjoyed cooking, especially during
the Christmas season. Even after her experience of cancer that left her unable to eat normal food, she kept on
cook and baking for others. She had a natural ability for math that led her to a job as a bookkeeper for the old
Federal Land Bank System. She retired from this job due to her health. The company later became Farm Credit
Services of Northeast Arkansas. Mom married Dad on Christmas Eve 1942 while she still lived in Miami, Florida
and he was on a weekend pass from the Navy. She maintained her residence in Miami with her mother until late
fall of 1943 when she came to Arkansas, first staying with Aunt Margaret in Memphis. The whole Young family
enjoyed her and loved her very much. She was a great church person who enjoyed assisting at Calvary Episcopal
Church in Osceola wherever she could. She was highly thought of even by the state Episcopal Diocese church
officers. One of who was quoted after her death as saying "She is setting up communion for the Lord now."

FROM 1950 YEARBOOK
MANTACHIE/ITAWAMBA COUNTY MISSISSIPPI
In 1892, the Kelso School was moved from near the Center Star Cemetery to a new location near what is now
Mantachie Methodist Chur ch, to become Mantachie School. In 1925 the school was consolidated with several
other schools and became Mantachie Consolidated School. With the organization and development of a Junior
High we are looking ahead to even greater success.

On Friday, April 7, 2006, Nell Cherry Avery, Jon Bellman, Roger Young, Paul and Laura Young, Robin and
Madelyn Young, J. D. and Janice Young, Carolyn Young Davidson, Bill and Ann Young Sterling, Euple Blackburn
Walker met at the Fairlie Community Center in Fairlie, Hunt County, Texas for a conversation about the Young
Family.
Paul Young started the conversation. He had a list of questions.
Paul: Ask Roger and Nell about growing up on the farm. Tell us about your life after moving to Texas (in summary
form).
Nell laughed
Euple: That was before her time.
Paul: I realize she was born in Texas.
Roger: Well, I don’t know where you want me to start. It was a rough life part of the time, but a good life.
Paul: Now you were about eight or nine when you moved out here.
Roger, Yes, eight.
Euple: You might name who all was in your family at that time. Aunt Jane was still around.
Roger: Yes, she was still here. Well, we moved around several different places.
Paul: Did you own your land at that tim e.
Roger: No, we did not own any land
Ann: Did you already have relatives here when you came here?
Roger: The Blackburns were here, part of them.
Euple: Now Roger did you’all move here after we did? I thought we all came together.
Roger: I think we came later, a year later.
Euple: I think somebody said that but I couldn’t remember. You’all lived at Gober.
Roger: Yeah, Gober.
Ann: Cause I was wondering where you knew where to go. If you had friends and relatives.
Roger: There was a family that had a grocery store at Wolfe City that was almost kin to us. They were Turners.
Euple: Will and Jud Turner
Nell: I always heard they were kin to us, but I never knew how.
Roger: Well, it goes back to Mississippi, but I don’t know how.
Paul: Itawamba County is full of Turners.
Nell: I know that when we were in Mississippi in 1949, Daddy said something about the Turners. They walked
around the corner. They were up here visiting, I don’t know who they were visiting. I knew that I had heard that we
were almost kin, but I never knew how. I never knew that.
Roger:I don’t know exactly how that come about, but some of the Turners married some of the Youngs or
Blackburns or somebody. I don’t know exactly.
Euple: I don’t think it was a Blackburn. But we lived on the Turner Place.
Roger: The old Turner Place.
Euple: Grandpa and them lived on the old Turner Place.
J. D.: Right in Shiloh
Euple: Ah, yes
Roger: Toward Shiloh and Mantachie.
Euple: An old log house of a things, the old Turner Place.
Laura: Juda McDonald, who married Lorenzo Dow Turner, was a sister to Patsy McDonald, wife of Matth ew
Pickens Young. Lorenzo gave the land for the Shiloh Church and Cemetery. Lorenzo and Juda had a daughter
named Lucinda Margaret Turner. Lucinda married Isaac Green Young, a son of Matth ew Pickens Young and Patsy
McDonald Young. Isaac Green was a brother to Samuel Fletcher.
Paul: Did Uncle Sam ever buy any land out here.
Roger: No. He never bought any land
Paul: Well, that’s interesting
Euplo: He bought him a house here in Fairlie.
Roger: Yes, he bought him a house here in Fairlie. It was standing over there. It burned down several years ago.
Paul: Well, that’s kind of interesting. He bought 180 acres over in Shiloh and then sold it. It was 160 acres, and then
he sold 80 of it to Grandmother and Granddaddy Young.
Roger: Well, he sold what he had left when he came to Texas.I don’t know how much it was, but I was under the
impression that it was around 100 acr es.
219
Paul: Yeah, he sold that to Jack Kelso, but it was real interesting on what he had in Itawamba County, cause he
bought that 160 and sold half of it to Grandmother and Granddaddy Young. Couple of years later, he turned around
and bought 20 of it back, and that’s how he ended up with 100 to s ell to Jack Kelso. And then Grandmother Young
sold the 60 that s he had left in 1939, I am assuming not too long after moving in with us. She sold that to a P ierce, I
believe. (Actually, she sold the property to H. B. Smith) So I thought Uncle Sam had bought land when he moved
out here.
Roger: No
J. D.: He may have decided he did not want to own any more land.
Paul: Cau se we have deeds to all the stuff he bought. We were looking for stuff that related to our family and
property in Itawamba County and we came across all that. How many acres did you’all work out here in terms of
cotton and corn? Do you remember?
Euple: How many acres did you work on the Grissom place? That was about the biggest one.
Roger: That was the biggest one there.
Euple: It might have been about 300 acr es wasn’t it?
Roger: No, The farm that we worked had abo ut 140 acres.
Paul: Nell, your father, Newell, farmed didn’t he?
Nell: Yes, we were always within hearing distance, you might say, of the Youngs.
Roger: We could holler at one another every day.
Nell: Yeah, and I was kind of like the first grandchild but I really wasn’t a grandchild but I was always in their
household.
Paul: Did you have to pick cotton?
Nell: Yes. When I was nine I had rheumatic fever so I had to stay in bed for three or four months.In the summer or
spring when I didn’t have to stay in bed anymore the doctor told me I could hoe cotton. I was so mad. (Laughter)
He said the exercise would be good for me.
Roger: Do you remember the time you got the splinter in you?
Nell: Yes I do. You had to s it on me but you were the only one I would let take the splinter out. I didn’t trust
anybody else.
Paul: Nell, what did Littie do?
Nell, Well, she was a housewife, but she worked in the fields also. But when they retired from farming then she went
to work at the nursing home.
Euple: Well, she taught some school.
Nell: She taught school before she and Daddy married.
Roger: She was teaching school when she and your daddy married
Nell: At one time she and daddy talked about him going to school and her teaching, about him going to college, but
it never happened.
Paul: She was from Texas wasn’t she?
Nell: Yes.
Euple: Newell Cherry was an educated man. He read a lot. He educated h imself. He was a smart guy.
Nell: Th ank you. I thought so.When he retired from farming. He went to work as a security guard at th e Library at the
University. And he read all the time. He read sociology books and all kinds of things. People would go by and
wonder why in the world he was reading. He thought he had found a gold mine.
J. D.: Was he a big farmer?
Nell: The most he ever farmed at one time was about 500. Toward the last. He really didn’t farm a lot.
J. D.: Guess you’all eventally ended up with tractors and things like that.
Roger: Yeah, we went with tractors in ‘37.
Nell: Daddy also worked at th e Gin. He kept books at the Gin. He worked as a cotton buyer at the cotton gin office
in Commerce. He milked cows. Of course, mother did that too.
Paul: Was the gin over in Wolfe City?
Nell: No, here.
Paul: Well, there’s huge old grain storage over in Wolfe City.
Roger: Fairlie used to be a thriving little p lace at one time. Three grocery stores, I believe, a garage, a bank, post
office, a cotton gin. In fact, the old gin is still down there. You can see where it was. They just ceased operation last
year.
Nell: One of the few gins left.
Roger:The school sat just across the street here. A two story brick buildin g. A six teacher school at one time wasn’t
it?
220
Euple: It was a part of the college at one time or another. They had a training school here.
Roger: That was before I came.
Euple: Well, it was about the time we came.
Well, it might have been about the time y ou’all moved down here.
J. D.: Are you talking about Texas A&M down here?
Euple: Yes
J. D.: Oh, it has been here that long?
Euple: Oh yes
Jon: For over one hundred years.
Euple: It hadn’t been Texas A&M but a few years.
Roger: It was Texas State Teacher’s College.
Nell: It too k me 53 years to graduate, so I graduated from A&M. (Laughter)
Paul: Did you’all have a good bit of contact with other families that came from Itawamba County?
Euple: Sure, Sure. We always did. We would go visitin g. Roger, you know how we would go on Sunday evening and
visit those people up around Piney Grove and Pecan Gap. The Duvall lived up that a way.
Nell: That was your aunt. It was my understanding that daddy came on the train with them to Texas.
Paul: Duvalls?
Ann: I went to school with some Duvalls.
Nell: Daddy farmed, the first place was at Gober. I don’t know why they settled in Gober.
Euple: Well, they came and got th eir farms before they moved out here. They knew where they were going to go.
J. D.: Did Uncle Clovis Hendrick drive Uncle Sam, your daddy, and someone else out here one year?
Roger: I think there was ten or twelve of them. I don’t know who all. Grandpa Blackburn was one of them and
Euple, I think your dad was one of them wasn’t he?
Euple: Probably
J. D. : Looking for better land to farm I understand.
Roger: They came to Texas in a Model T truck. Mr. Clovis was driving. Daddy, Uncle Koger Blackburn, and I don’t
know who all, rode in th e truck out here. Took them three days to come from Tupelo to Wolfe City in the Model T
truck. I don’t know the details, but th e first year we were here we lived on Will Turner’s place and worked for his
son.
Paul: Out here
Roger: Yeah, And then daddy bought this outfit out and rented the farm that went with it when it was bought out.
We lived th ere for, I guess, three years and that’s when your daddy, Nell, farmed at Gober. We were all together on
the same farm, north of Wolfe City for a while.
Nell: The Roberts place.
Roger: The Roberts place was the one your daddy was farming. But they were on the same farm with daddy for the
first year or two and then they rented this place close to Gober. We were all about three or four miles of each other.
Nell: That’s when daddy met mother, sometime around then, because she lived at Randolph. She sang, she and her
sisters sang at church, different churches.
Roger: I never knew how they met but that’s where he was living.
Laura: What about the Rapers, Annie and her family? Did you’all have any contact with them?
Roger: They lived at Hickory Creek, over west of Wolfe City. The only one of that bunch that is still living, I think,
is Vergie - the youngest girl. She is supposed to be coming to this meeting tomorrow. Her daughter lives over, well I
don’t know exactly where she lives, but Vergie lives fairly close to her. She’s coming and bringing her mother
tomorrow. Her mother is the only one of the Rapers that is left.
J. D.: I’ve got a feeling that this meeting tomorrow should have started at 9 o’clock.
(Laughter)
Paul: Well, most of them are younger than we are so they may not talk as much as we do.
J. D.: I want to go back to the Will Turner that you were talking about. Did he come from Mississippi to Texas?
Euple and Roger: Yes
Euple: He came several years before the Blackburns.
Roger: Now there was another Will, Willie, Turner.
J. D: That lived there near Shiloh? I think his son was Will Turner, Jr. That is the one I am familiar with. He lived
right across the road from where Uncle Clo vis lived.
Roger: Yeah, that was Willie Turner. He was some kin to this Will Turner who had a grocery store in Wolfe City.
Will and Jud Turner. But I don’t know what kin Willie was to them.
Euple: Weren’t they kin to the Kelsos or something or were they just friends.
221
Roger: No, they were kinfolks. They were kin but I don’t know how. Willie lived in Texas for a while and then
moved back to Mississippi.
Paul: It had me confused because I know we lived on the Will Turner place.
J. D.: That’s where Joe was born. There was a Turner store in Mantachie. Wasn’t his name Jud?
Roger: Well, this Will and Jud Turner who had the grocery store in Wolfe City came out here a long time before we
did.
Euple: Yes they did.
Laura: It could have been the same ones.
Euple: A lot of them from Mississippi came out here. Some of them talked about how black the mud was. This guy
from Mississippi was going to get out and walk. He bogged down. I’ve heard that sto ry
Roger: Well th at was Jud Turner’s boy, Yancy.
Euple: Well, he was in the grocery store by the time I got grown because we stayed there when it was muddy. We
stayed at their house when we were going to school at Wolfe City and Mrs. Jud Turner would fix breakfast for Will
and Jud and Yancy. They would come b y and eat breakfast with h er. Of course, Margaret and I were staying there
and going to school.
Paul: Some descendents of Isaac Green Young came out to Texas in the 18 90s and Carswell Air Force Base was
named after Isaac Green Young’s great-grandson. There was a Young that married a Rea and then her daughter
married a Carswell. It was her son that was a pilot in the Second World War and got killed. He wouldn’t eject
himself from the plane because there were two others in the plane that g ot tangled up in something and couldn’ t get
out. So they all three wound up getting killed. They named Carswell AFB after him. I was curious as to whether you
ever had any contact with them. Isaac Green was a brother to Samuel Fletcher.
Euple: Well, the only story I remember about the Greens was Inez - his (Roger’s) older sister. She said that one time
they were at Shiloh or somewhere having a meeting and of course they were having dinner on the ground. She said
this aunt of hers came by and said “Sam, let’s don’t ask Uncle Green to say grace because you know how long he
prays.” “We won’t ever get to eat. ” (Laughter) Inez told that. She was 6, 7,8 years old.
Roger: She is about a year and a half older than me.
Euple: And she was at least five years older than any of us.
Laura: Isaac Green Young is the one who married a Turner.
Euple: He’s the one that married the Turner! Okay. Some of the kinfolks might not like that story. (Laughter)
Robin: It’s a good story.
Paul: Okay, I been asking most of these questions. Some of the rest of you need to ask some.
Robin: You have to know enough to ask first.
Paul: Nell, is there anybody who knows anymore about the murder of your grandfather? You’ve kind of told us what
you knew. Dewdrop Clayton shared with us some information. Every story is different. I guess that is un derstandable
when you don’t know exactly what hap pened. Especially after this long period of time.
Nell: Roger told me something the other day that I had not heard before. That the Klu Klux Klan contacted his dad
and wanted to go get this man that had murdered my grandfather out of jail and lynch him or something.
Roger: I will tell you the story that daddy told. That’s all I know about it. What he told later on. That Uncle Charlie
had a farm that he rented to the guy that shot him. They had some kind of argument. I don’t know what that was all
about. But, Uncle Charlie got daddy’s gun and daddy didn’t know it. When he found it out, he went to see him, to
talk to him. This guy that was renting Uncle Charlie’s farm was working that day, out right close to the house. Aunt
Lo told him that was a good time for him to go and talk to this guy. They were having trouble and daddy was coming
up there and it would be a good time for him to go and talk to him. He went out there. He had daddy’s gun under his
shirt. He was trying to get it ou t when the guy shot him.
Paul: Ch arlie had Sam’s gun in his shirt. Was he working the land or was the other fellow.
Roger: No, he had rented the land to the other fellow. They had some kind of argument, but I don’t know what that
was all about.
Nell: I heard it was something about keeping a horse. It was in the barn and the man didn’t want him to.
Roger: They were having trouble of some kind. I don’t know what. Anyway, the guy shot him and threatened daddy.
Paul: Uncle Sam was there when he was shot?
Roger: He was there when he was shot. According to the story that I was told he was there when he was shot. They
tried the guy and sent him to the pen. Later on the Klu Klux Klan and some outfit contacted daddy and wanted him
to tell them to take the guy out of prison and hang him. He wouldn’t tell them to do it.
Laura: Do you ever remember hearing the name of the man who killed him?
Roger: I don’t remember the name.
Laura: Does Blaylock sound familiar?
222
Roger: Well, I wouldn’t say.
Nell: I have heard that name from somebody.
Paul: Dewdrop Clayton, who before she married was a Raper, shared that with Laura and I last week when we were
visitin g with her. That the man’s name was Blaylock. We have no way of verifying it.
J. D.: Was this in Itawamba County, or Lee County?
Roger: I don’t know
Nell: I know that my grandfather was a surveyor for Lee County.
J. D.: So it was in Lee County.
Laura: I think it was in Lee County because one of the thin gs Dewdrop said was that her mother never did like the
Trapps. Because Mr. Trapp was sheriff when Charlie was killed . When I looked up the census records in 1910, Oscar
Trapp was the sheriff of Lee County.
Paul: And he was killed in 1909.
Laura: Charlie Cherry was killed in 1909. It could have been 1910. Newell would still h ave been three years old.
Roger: I don’t know where they lived when he was killed but daddy’s farm, the place I remember, was right on the
line.
Paul: It threw me off when I read that was County Line Road. I wondered how that could be County Line Road. I
didn’t think Lee County went over that far.
Roger: Our house set up on the hill, right in the cor ner.
Paul: Robin, that is what you and J.D. said.
Roger: When you turned that corner, you went in to Lee County. And we were in Itawamba County. When I retired
and made my application for Social Security, I had trouble getting a birthplace authorized. Itawamba County, they
couldn’t find that there was an Itawamba County in Mississippi. (Laughter) I like to have never got it straightened
out.
Euple: They probably didn’t know how to pronounce it.
Roger: But I had trouble. It took a pretty little while to get it through. They said there wasn’t an Itawamba County
that they could find.
Ann: Wasn’t there some Blaylocks in Itawamba County?
Roger: Well, that name, I wouldn’t say one way or another.
Euple: This is just a little bit. Roger, do you remember the Ellises that lived down here? My daddy said that Mrs.
Ellis, she was a Gardner I think. That it was her brother who shot Newell’s daddy.
Nell: I hadn’t heard that.
Roger: No. Mr. George Ellis ju st lived right up here.
Euple: You know Nunan came and stayed with them and pick ed cotton the F all before we came to Texas. But I
don’t know. You know you can hear things and then you think you can remember and they don’t turn out right. So I
don’t know.
Roger: I remember George Ellis. They were real good friends.
Euple: Yes, they were real good friends. We were all friends.
Roger: They lived right up the road from here.
Euple: They were from Itawamba County.
Nell: I don’t thin k I knew that. I knew who they were but I didn’t know they were from Itawamba County.
Euple: The first year we lived in that house pretty close to the Ellis’s.
Roger: Yeah, just east o f George Ellis.
Euple: Then in the summer, Grandma and Grandpa moved to just in front of the Ellis’s, I mean in the Hodges’s
house. They were kin to those people, What was their name? I can’t think of it now, but Grandma, Grandpa was kin
to those.
Paul: Sounds like you’all had more Mississippians here in this community than you had Texans.
Euple: There;s more Itawamba County people that s ettled in Hunt County than any other part of the State. Some of
them used to fuss and say, “Please tell Itawamba County not to send any more people to Hunt County.” (Laughter)
Paul: They had enough of them didn’t they?
Roger: It was dangerous for anyone to say anything against a Young or a Blackburn, or Duvalls, or Rapers.
Everybody around Fairlie had the name of being kin.
Paul: Jon, you are learning a lot aren’t you.
Nell: Your aunt, Duvall,
Roger and Euple: Estell
Nell: Estell. It was really funny. She was a very pretty lady. A very fiesty lady. When John and I married in ‘72, my
father-in-law was talking about this very pretty lady one of his relatives had taken up with. A high stepping widow.
223
It was Estell. I started laughing and said that I was kin to her, almost.
Roger: She was a high stepper alright.
Laura: Roger, what do you remember about coming out on the train? Coming from Mississippi.
Robin: I was going to ask you what you remember about the move.
Laura: Didn’t you say you came on the train? Where did you leave from?
Roger: Tupelo
Euple: Didn’t they rent, or lease on the train? They had several cars
Roger: I don’t know about that. I don’t remember. But, one thing I do remember. We had to change trains in
Memphis. And going out of that train, I got sick at my stomach and vomited all o ver some woman. (Laughter)
Laura: Do you remember, did they sell most everything they had and start anew when they came out here? Did they
have furniture or anything?
Roger: I don’t remember exactly what they brought, but they had shipped a bunch of stuff.
Euple: They had a whole boxcar. We brought, of course, all the feather beds, the blankets and the quilts. Maybe
some furniture, I don’t remember.
Nell: Why did you’all think it was so much better than Mississippi?
Roger: That was daddy’s idea.
Nell: I know there was this boy that I grew up with who said, “I don’t know why they settled here. I guess the wheel
fell off the wagon.”
Paul: It was interesting looking at Uncle Sam’s operations there in Itawamba County. One time he needed $53.00
real bad. He mortgaged his land for a loan of $53.00. Usually, you tell th at he was borrowing money, as all farmers
did, to start the crop and then pay it back after you got the crop in. But, he needed $53. 00 for something one period
there and he just mortgaged the land.
Euple: Fifty-three dollars back then was a lot of money.
Paul: Yeah, he paid, was it $1880, Laura, for the 160 acres of land when he bought it.
J. D.: Land was dirt cheap them.
Paul: The interest was 8%, which that part surprised me because that was so much more than I thought it would
have been in th at period of time. He bought his first farm, I think two years before he married.
Euple: He was kind of old when he married.
Roger: About 30 years old.
Paul: That’s one reason I wanted to see Roger. Here, his granddaddy died in 1908. He’s still living. (Laughter)
Samuel Fletcher died in 1908 and S abra in 1910. To still have a grandson on this earth is a pretty good record.
Carolyn: When was the last time you were in Mississippi?
Roger: It was sometime in the ‘60s. Mother came back there. One of the girls carried her back there and left her. She
stayed two or three months. She got ready to come home. She called me to come and get her. That was the last, I was
out there sometime in the ‘70s. ‘71 or 2 to a, I believe it was a Hill Reunion.
Euple: We were all back there then, weren’t we?
Paul: Hill?
Euple: Yeah, Aunt Grace was a Blackburn. Aunt Grace Hill was a Blackburn. They lived down, where did they live,
down at Aberdeen. That was back there in th e summer. Did I ever tell you about that?
Roger: Yeah, you told me that. You should me a picture of uh?
Euple: ? And May.
Roger: Any way, they had a Reunion there that we went to. We went down on Saturday and came back Monday.
Euple: We were out there too. We carried Aunt Estell, I think.
Roger: You’all were out there. That is the last time I have been to Mississippi.
Euple: Daddy, I guess, he might have been out there. You know he and Aunt Cora, Aunt Estell , Libby and all. You
know Aunt Estell especially would go and stay a month at a tim e with Aunt.
Roger: Mamma did in the ‘60s. We went out there and got her. She took a notion to go after dad died. She was going
to ride the bus.
Euple: She was a Blackburn, wasn’t she?
Roger: She wasn’t able really to go.
Euple: No, she wasn’t but she went and did fine.
Roger: The girls, my sisters all come to me and they wouldn’t tell h er, but they wanted me to tell her she couldn’t
go. (Laughter) They wouldn’t do it. I wasn’t going to tell h er.
Laura: I got the impression from reading that your mother was a fairly active little lad y. I think one article I read
called her an energetic little lady.
Roger: Yeah. Anyway, I wouldn’t tell her she couldn’t go but I would tell her she couldn’t ride the bus. If one of
224
them would take her and let her stay until she got ready to come back, I’d go to get her. So that’s what happened.
One of them, I don’t remember which one now, took her. She stayed out there, I guess a couple of months.
Nell: Who did she stay with Roger?
Roger: Well, she had a sister still living. Kelso. That was her headquarters. Now who all she stayed with I don’t
know.
Paul: Kelso?
J. D.: I bet it was Miss Modena Kelso, Dan Kelso’s wife.
Roger: That was her sister. She stayed with her. That was her headquarters. She had some nieces and lot of kinfolks.
Where all she stayed, I don’t know.
Euple: Everybody.
Roger: She stayed out there, probably a couple of months. And then she called me to come and get her. So we was
going to make a weekend out of it. A couple of days. And went out on Saturday and coming back on Sunday. But
when we got out there they had a big family reunion planned in a par k in Tupelo.
Carolyn: Are you talking about Tombigbee State Park?
Roger: I don’t know.
J. D.: That had to be it.
Paul: Was this in the ‘70s?
Laura: She died in the ‘60s so it had to be then.
Roger: I believe it was the ‘60s.
Euple: Didn’t Sam die about ‘58 or 9?
Roger: ‘58
Nell: Grandmother died in ‘57. He died about a year later.
Paul: Do you’all remember, or were you present at th e family gathering at Overton Park in Memphis? I know we
went up there one time, and I don’t know when it was.
Nell: It could have been in the ‘50s. Mother and daddy could have gone, I don’t know.
Paul: You don’t remember it Roger? Okay.
Roger: Do we have any kinfolk, to your knowledge, that live in Memphis?
Paul: The Clarks who went to Arkansas. Dewdrop Clayton told us that one of the daughters of the Clarks operated a
restaurant in West Memphis.
Nell: They did. Because we went by there one time. I remember that.
Roger: That has been a while.
Paul: That was a long time ago. That’s the reason Laura was asking if you knew anything about them. That is the
family that we have the least information on.
Nell: That was probably when we saw them in ‘49.
Paul: When you’all went.
Roger: That was part of the Clark family. Aunt Betty Clark’s kids and grandkids.
Paul: We have very little in formation on them.
Carolyn: Aunt Burvil’s children live there now. Smith. They live in Memphis. Betty, Kenneth, Gary.
Roger: My son-in-law is working for a Power Plant there now. A branch of TVA. He has an apartment over in
Southaven, Mississippi. My daughter goes out there once in a while.
Euple: Does she still bake him a cake? What was his favorite cake? Was it German Chocolate?
Euple: What happened to my information I had a while ago? I’ve gotta go.
Paul: We’re glad you came.
Nell: Are you comin g tomorrow?
Euple: Tomorrow?
Nell: Ryan’s Steakhouse at one o’clock.
Euple: Good gracious.
Roger: You need to come and bring those other two (sisters).
Euple: Well, I’m by myself. It’s according to what my sisters want to do.
Roger: You need to come and bring them with you. They are just a part of family.

226
On Thursday, May 11, 2006 t hese articles from “The Tupelo Weekly Journal” were found at the
Lee County Public Library in Tupelo, Mississippi. There are several stories from the family
concerning the death of Charles Owen Cherry. These articles do not tell what the argument
between W. W. (Will) Blaylock and Charlie Cherry was about. At this time, we do not know if Mr.
Blaylock’s appeal to the supreme court of Mississippi was heard or, if it was, the date of the hearing
and the ruling. Hopefully this can be found at a later date.
Friday, July 24, 1908: C.O. CHERRY KILLED On Wednesday morning C. O. Cherry, county
surveyor of Lee county was shot and instantly killed by Will Blaylock, at the home of Mr. Cherry
seven miles east of Saltillo. The difficulty occurred near Cherry’s home,, in a field where Blaylock
was plowing. The latter being a renter from Cherry. Cherry received three wounds from a 38 calibre
revolver, one in each breast and one in the left arm. He expired instantly. The only witness to the
killing was Sam Young, Jr.; brother-in-law to Cherry. Blaylock went home and refused t o surrender
to anyone except the sheriff or magistrate. The sheriff was notified by phone and deput y sheriff
Witt and Constable John Rains and Crawford left with the dogs for the scene. In the meantime
Justice Roper and T. L. Wesson of Saltillo went out and Blaylock surrendered to Roper and went
with him and Wes. Gardener to Saltillo. They were joined by Constable Love who accompani ed
them to Tupelo where Blaylock was lodged in jail. We have not received any statement from either
side of the facts and circumstances of the killing. This will be brought out at the preliminary hearing
at Saltillo Tuesday when the case will be heard by Esquires Roper and McNeill. C. O. Cherry was a
son of the late Newell Cherry and was elected county surveyor in November last. He was a young
man with a wife and two small children, the oldest being about two years old. In the communi ty
where he was reared he was hi ghly esteemed as a good citizen, a peaceabl e upright man. The tragic
and untimely death is the source of deep regret by everyone. His bereaved wife and little children
have the sympathy of the entire county in deep sorrow and g reat bereavement. The interment took
place at Campelltown cemetery Thursday.
Friday 31, 1908: W.W. BLAYLOCK GRANTED BAIL The preliminary hearing of W. W.
Blaylock charged with the killing of C.O. Cherry last week near Saltillo was heard before Esquires
Roper, McNeill, Christopher and Ritter at Saltillo Tuesday. The state was represented by Clayton,
Mitchell and Clayton. Mr. Mitchell appearing at the hearing. The defendant by Anderson and Long.
Mr. Anderson appearing. Several witnesses were introduced on behal f of the prosecution, the
principal ones being Mrs. C. O. Cherry, the widow of deceased, S am Young, Jr., Dock Clayton and
J. R. Gladney, Jr. After hearing the testimony of the state no witness was introduced by the
defendant, the question of whether the defendant was entitled to bail being submitted after
argument by council on both sides. The court agreed to allow the defendant bail in the sum of
$7,500. He was returned to the jail by Sheriff Trapp. Up to going to press the defendant has not
made bond.
August 1908: The Grand jury returned and an i ndictment against Will Blaylock for murder.
Blaylock was brought into court and upon bei ng arraigned upon t he indictment entered a plea of
not guilty. The case will be called again Monday when the defense will be heard from as to the
position it will take to an immediate trial.
September 1908: A summary of the convictions and sent ences (of the court) is as follows: ....Will
Blaylock, murder, life imprisonment in penitentiary. ......In the case of Blaylock petition for appeal
has been filed. A supersedeas of the judgement until his appeal to the supreme court is acted on
will keep him in jail here. Blaylock was represented by Geo. H. Hill, Jr.
227
On June 11, 2006 records were found concerni ng W. W. Blaylock and his family. W. W. Blaylock
was married to Martha Maretta "Mattie" Garner in Mississippi in the year 1899. He was born in
Dec 1869 and she was born i n 1875. On the 1910 census records, W. W. Blailock was listed as an
inmate at the Mississippi Prison Farm in Brandon, Mississippi. Mattie Blaylock was listed with four
children (C. C., Iona, Raymon, Stonewall) in the Unity community of Lee County Mississippi.
Mattie Blaylock died in Nov 1914 and one son, C. C ., died in Dec 1914. There was another child
who had died in 1904. These three are buried in Saltillo cemetery, Lee County. On the 1920
census, William W. Blaylock along with wife, Maria, and three children (Iona, Raymon, Stonewall)
are listed as living in Hughes, Prairie County, Arkansas. On the 1930 census, William W. Blaylock,
along with wife, Maria and son, Stonewall are listed as living in Center, Prairie County, Arkansas.
In the Arkansas death records, Raymon Blaylock's death is listed in 1927. William Blaylock's
death is listed 30 Aug 1944 in Pulaski County Arkansas. Sometimes between 1910 and 1920,
William Blaylock was released from prison. Possibly he was released after his wife, Mattie, died
since there were three small children that needed care. Research i s ongoing.

HOLD SON IN FATAL SHOOTING OF MOTHER
A 21 year-old Lee County man, Tommy Raper, is being held in the Lee County jail in connection w ith the
Saturday night killin g of his mother, Sheriff Ernest Webb said Sunday night. Sheriff Webb said Raper had admitted
firing the shot that killed his mother, Mrs. Clara Lee Raper, 50, but said he was unable to explain the events that led
to the shooting. Raper also admitted he had been dr inking Saturday afternoon prior to the shooting, the sheriff said.
County Attorney Billy Shelton said Raper is being held for investigation and that formal charges will probably be
filed against him Monday afternoon. The shooting happened about 6 p. m. Saturday at Mrs. Raper's home in the
Beech Springs Community. Mrs. Raper was struck in the head by a close range blast from a 12 gauge sawed-off
shotgun which Raper had taken from a closet a few minutes earlier, officers said. According to Sheriff Webb, Raper
and his wife had arrived at Mrs. Raper's home a short time before the shooting and had gone into a bedr oom in the
house. Raper had taken the shotgun from a closet and was loading it when his mother apparently came to the
bedroom door. His wife left the room and went to the bathr oom and was in that vicinity when the shooting took
place, Sheriff Webb said. Raper told officers he did not remember anything that happened af ter he had to the
weapon and loaded it. After the shooting - Raper went to the home of a nearby neighbor, Otis Stanford, and told
him of the shooting. He also said he had called the Lee County jail before going to Mr. Stanford's. Constable Rex
Wilson said he had answered a call at the jail at that time and someone told him that a woman had been killed in an
automobile wreck in from of the Beech Springs Church which is near the Raper home. He quickly called Sheriff
Webb, deputy Mithcell Moor e and constable Robert Coley who were returning from a search in north Lee County
and they went to the scene. Raper's father, Evertt Raper, had left their home and gone to the home of J. L. Simmons
to pay the month's rent. Mr. Simmons owns the house where the Raper family lived. Witnesses at the scene of the
shooting said apparently Mrs. Raper had been cooking supper just before the fatal shooting as uncut biscuit dough
was on a table in the kitchen along with two cake layers. Raper had just recently been discharged from the U. S.
Army and had worked at Monts Tobacco Co. until a short time ago but was unemployed at the time of the shooting.

J P TRIBUNAL RULES RAPER KILLING IN SELF DEFENSE
by Mary Jo Latham Journal Staff Writer
A three-member justice of the peace court panel declined Friday to bind a Tupelo woman over for grand jury action
in the shooting death of her husband. Mrs. Jo Ann Raper, 39, of 818 Shumacola Trail was apparently cleared of all
charges in the Tuesd ay night death of Thomas D. "Tommy" Raper, 26. Third District JP Jack S. Shirley, JP James
Farrar of the Fourth District and Fifth District JP Mayo Grubbs said evidence at the preliminary hearing showed "no
crime but rather an act of self-defense." Mrs. Raper, daughter of former Police Ch ief Robert Monaghan, was charged
with manslaughter shortly after the shooting. Testifying at Friday afternoon's preliminiary hearing was Tupelo
Police Detective John Vinson who said, " I received a call from Mrs. Raper herself. She said 'Get an ambulance out
here quick. I have shot Tommy. He's in bad shape'. " Detective Vinson said that when he and two other officers
arrived at the Rap er home, Mrs. Raper and her daughter were "standing just outside the house. The body was lying
partially face down out in the hall. " He said he asked Mrs. Raper about the weapon used "and she immediately
showed us where the gun was." "The gun was in a bedroom" - and he was prompted by Mrs. Raper - "on an ironing
board, right. It had been fired one time." Detective Vinson said Raper was shot with a .22 caliber revolver "right
230
over the heart (at) close range. A guess would be no more that five feet." He testified that in th e bedroom where the
gun was found, an iron and several stuffed animals were on the floor "and the outs ide doorknob had been tor n off
and the bedroom was all tousled up." Raper was lying "immediately outside the door" of the room, he said. Mrs.
Raper testifed that her husband began drinking about 4 p.m. Tuesday and that they went to the Shangri-La
Restaurant but that she elft and returned later to pick him up. She said he was "highly intoxicated" when they go
home about 9:30 p. m. and that when she attempted to pas s by him in the kitchen, he "jerked" her back by the waist
causing her shoulder to hit the s tove and briusing both waist and shoulder. Mrs. Raper said she took the revolver
from a kitchen cabinet becaus e she did not want her husband to know where it was and put it in a desk drawer in her
daughter's room. "He had threatened a lot of time to kill me," she said, adding that when Raper was drinking
heavily, "just amy little word could set him off." She said she went into her 16-year-old daughter's room and locked
the door but "he broke in the door and I asked him to leave." Raper left the room, returned and left again. Mrs.
Raper said she made a telephon call and when her husband picked up on an extension, she hung up. She said he
returned to her daughter's room and struck her and her daughter, Robbie Chis m, "got up and pick ed up the iron and
said, 'Don't hit my mother again'." Mrs. Raper said Raper then "started" toward her daughter and said, "This time I'm
cleaning house," and she got the gun and he started toward her. "He kept coming and he said, 'That little th ing won't
hurt me' and he jus t kept coming and I pulled the tr igger. Mrs. Raper said she immediatly telephoned the police
and testified that her husband had threatened her before and had also beaten her. Miss Chism backed up her
mother's testimony and said that Raper "started comin g at her (Mrs. Raper) and she shot the gun." She also testified
that Raper had twice struck her.

SUSPECT SOUGHT IN DEATH
by Tina Burtt Starr Writer
Amy Carol Clayton had taken up jogging to lose weight. She had put on her yellow jogging suite, adjusted her
maroon socks and headed out the door of her north Tupelo home to to jogging. It was 8:50 p.m. Her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Clayton of 1401 Frances Square, became worried when she didn't return home Thursday night, so they
alerted the Tupelo P olice Department. A search for her continued thr oughout the nig ht. Then, at 6:30 a.m. Friday
about a mile away from her home on Legion Lake Road, the body of the 18-year-old Saltillo High School
cheerleader was found by an early-morning jogger. He throat had been slashed, her hands were tied in front of her
with th e shoelaces from her jogging shoes, and one of her maroon socks was used to bind and gag her mount. Slash
marks to her abdominal area showed through the yellow tank top. Lee County Sheriff Roy Sanderfer said a
suspicious person had been s een in the neighborhood by several people, and a composite drawing was made from
their descriptions. The person is described as a white man in his early 20s, 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, and with a
medium to large build. He is said to be overweight with a large stomach and dark hair, either brown or black. He was
seen wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, blue jeans, and a light bandana-style headband. Sanderfer said Miss Clayton was
last seen by her family at 8:50 p.m. Thursday when she went for a jog from her home which is less than a mile from
where the body was found. The family reported her missing to the Tupelo Police Department and a search for her
continued thr oughout the nig ht. Officials from the state Crime Lab began their investigation about noon F riday for
evidence at th e murder scene on the east end of Legion Lake Road. Miss Clayton's body was sent to Jackson for an
autopsy by the state medical examiner. Sanderfer said no more information would be available about the murder
until autopsy reports were complete, giving the exact time and cause of death. Sanderfer said Miss Clayton jogged
at night routinely although she normally jogged on Joyner Street near City Park. He said there was a strong
possibility Miss Clayton may have been bound and g agged in one area and moved to the Legion Lake location. The
sheriff said there was not doubt that she died at Legion Lake. The sheriff's department is working with investigators
from the Mississippi Highway Patrol and the Tupelo Police Department. The county sheriff's department is
heading the investigation becaus e the 10 acres surrounding the America Legion building is on county property,
with city property surrounding that area. Sanderfer said the Clayton family had offered a substantial reward for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of their daughter's killer.
VICTIM WAS GIRL EVERYBODY LIKED
by Tina Burtt Staff Writer
Amy Clayton - the girl everybody liked. Looking back on Amy Clayton's last years brought pained remembrances
and a few tears Friday to her best friend, Lisa Payne. On the day Amy's body was found near Legion Lake Road, Lisa
said the tragic and senseless loss of Amy's life will affect her friends for the rest of their lives. "Amy cared about
everybody's feelings. She always put everybody before herself," she said. Lisa and Amy met on the first day of
seventh grade, when the Clayton family moved to Saltillo . "She walked into my class that day, and we were best
friends from then on. She told me everything and I told her everything, even after she moved back to Tupelo," Lisa
said. Amy had just gotten a n ew car and was gettin g ready to go to Itawamba Junior College, where she had already
been picked as a cheerleader. She wanted to be a commercial artist. "She never was heavy, but Amy had gotten real
health-conscious lately. She had lost a lot o f weight and was jogging to lose some more," she said, her voice
cracking. "That's how it all hap pened." Three other friends of Amy remember her as having a delightful sense of
humor, with lots of friends. "Everybody liked her. You couldn't help but like her," one friend said. The three girls
wished to remain unidentified. They are afraid of the person who brutally murdered Amy on Thursday night as she
jogged near her home. "It may be a little stup id, but I'm kind of scared of whoever it was," one girl said. The girls
knew Amy through the two great passions of her life - cheerleading and softball. She was the captain of Saltillo High
School's football cheering squad last year, her senior year. Softball was her avid interest. She played with the
Birmingham Ridge Baptist Church team and a local team, sponsored by 45 Auto Sales. Her friends said she was a
pinch hitter for the local team. Sportsmanship came naturally to the pretty, good-natured girl. "That's the thin g Amy
never bothered anybody. She stayed out of other people's business," her friend said. "I mean it's terrible for anybody
to die that way, but you wonder, 'Why her', she never did anything to anybody." Another friend said she most loved
Amy's sense of humor. Although she was serious and single-minded about cheerleading, Amy liked to laugh and to
make others laugh. "She clowned around, could crack anybody up," she said. "Her laugh was kind of loud. You
232
could tell she enjoyed laughing. the friend said Amy had a lot of friends but didn't work at being popular. "Amy
didn't know how to be fake. She did n't try to get everybody to like her. But almost everybody she met was her
friend," she said. "But I could talk to her real easy...We'd ride around on the weekends. She loved listen ing to
(singer) Bryan Adams." The girls said they didn't believe the news about Amy's death at first. But as the the shock of
it set in, anger took the place of disbelief. "I just want to get revenge on whoever did this," one girl said. "Nobody
should die that w ay."
MURDER CASE
INVESTIGATORS CHECK ALL CLUES
by Tina Bu rtt Staff Writer
Monday, August 4, 1986
Law enforcement officials investigating the murder of Amy Clayton are checking out every possible clue, including
strands of hair found clutched in the victim's hand. Lee County Sheriff Roy Sanderfer said his investigators, as well
as those with the highway patrol and the tupelo P olice Department, have worked around the clock to find the person
who murdered the 18-year-old cheerleader Thursday night. "We've been all over this area, checking these out,:
Sandefer said, pointing to several pages of names written on a large note pad. The names Sandefer has been
checking out are all men who fit the description of a composite drawing of a suspect in th e killing. The man was
reportedly a prowler in the area near Miss Clayton's house and the murder scene, less than a mile away. Miss
Clayton's body was found on Legion Lake Road early Friday morning by a passing jogger. Her throat had been
slashed, and she had been stabbed more than 20 times over her torso. Strands of Hair, possibly her attacker's were
found in the dead w oman's hand. Lee County medical examiner investigator Roy Barnett said Miss Clayton died of
multiple stab wounds to the head and body . He said a report released by the state medical examiner did not mention
whether Miss Clayton had been s exually assaulted. If sexual assault had been com mitted, Barnett said the report
probably would have stated it. An auto psy was performed in Jackson by Dr. Thomas Bennett, state medical
examiner. Miss Clayton was found fully clothed at th e murder scene. Sandefer said he will ask for state crime lab
experts to return to Tupelo today to analyze more evidence in the investigation, although he could not r elease the
exact nature of it, for fear of jeopardizin g the case.
CHEERLEADER MOURNED
More than 500 people jam med into Pegues Funeral Home Chapel Sunday afternoon to mourn the death of Amy
Clayton. The brutal murder of the 18-year-old cheerleader Thursday night shocked Northeast Mississippi and has
frightened some people in n orth Tupelo enough not to go out after dark. All the pews at the funeral were crowded
an hour before the service began, and at least 200 people s tood to hear the touching service. Dozens of flower
arrangements filled the funeral home, centered by a delicately-ruffled, peach-colored heart near the casket.
Mourners sat in hushed silence before the Rev. Bert Harper began to speak. "We come here with the assurance that
Amy is with th e Lord Jesus Christ," he said; then he read the 23 rd Psalm. A wave of muffled crying and weeping
passed over the crowd. The minister recalled meeting her for the first time at a basketball game, and he recalled h er
bright smile. "Remember that smile. Remember that love. Remember that caring," he said. As "Beulah Land" was
sung, the emotion the crowd had kept in for more than an hour flowed out. Scores of teen-age girls cried into
handkerchiefs, wiping away the tears streaming down their faces. The Rev. Bobby Holland gave a personal and
emotional eulogy for Miss Clayton, at times tears choking his voice. "It's all right to cry," he told the large group of
friends and family. "It's all right to weep. When death comes, you have to deal with it..... to vent your sorrow. You
young people - it's OK, it's all right." Holland spoke directly to the Clayton family, telling them to find comfort in
the memories of their daughter, granddaughter, sister, and niece. He said the large group atten ding the funeral was
evidence of how loved Miss Clayton was. "The pity is, it takes a tragedy like this to draw us all together," he said.
"This thing our to affect us all...It makes me realize we're not going to live forever...I know for a fact Amy was a
Christian . She was saved..Thank God for the privilege of having her," he said. Neighbors of the Clayton family say
the shock of Miss Clayton's murder has caused them to take a few precautio ns. "Everybody's concerned," said one
man. "There haven't been many people out at nig ht. I don't get out all that much, but I have noticed more people
staying inside." Another man at least one neighbor, besides himself, has armed himself. "I talked with one man last
night, and he said he was keeping a pistol near his bedside, as I am," he said. "He's leaving his lights on, another lady
has too." The neighbor said, although he hopes Miss Clayton's murder was an isolated incident, police officials
should realize her death is a sign of changing times. "Tupelo has progressed way past the point of sheltered
innocence," he said. "Advanced communication and tr ansportation have changed the entire environment. I think
233
there is genuine cause for alarm. "Law enforcement needs to have more effective forms of patrolling - more visible
patrollin g. I hope it never happens, but history could repeat itself," he said. Lee County Sheriff Roy Sandefer, who is
heading the investigation into Miss Clayton's murders, said not going out after dark is a good, common-sense move.
"It's not a bad idea not to go out, at least late in th e evening," he said. One resident, who lived closer to Legion Lake
Road than Mis s Clayton's neighbors, said she did not think it necessary to disrupt her lifestyle because of the
murder. "I think what's going to happen is going to happen. There's not a lot you can do to chan ge things," she said.

CRIME
TRAGEDY'S LESSON
The brutal slaying of Amy Clayton late Thursday night or early Friday morning stunned Tupelo and Northeast
Mississippi. The death of the soon-to-be college freshman and the way she died caused a collective emptiness and
fear as word spread. It was as if suddenly Tupelo had changed in a vicious and most unacceptable way. Crimes of
the kind that killed Amy Clayton have been a subject of headlines from other places - the big cities and suburbs of
the country. Even the daily reports of murder in nearby metropolitan areas have seemed a world apart from
Northeast Mississippi. But the truth is that no town or small city is completely safe from the kind of violent
behavior that killed the popular 18-year-old. The quiet streets and neighborhoods of Tupelo and other towns like it
are not immune to people who kill for no reason. Contemporary American society is marked by indiscriminate
violence, and violence is mobile, like the culture in which it has taken root. Two responses are probable in the
aftermath of Miss Clayton's death. Some people will ado pt a fortress mentality and shot themselves off from the
world. The second response will be sensible caution. Thousands of people in Tupelo r un, jog or walk daily. Many
walk at dusk or after dark, especially during these hot summer months. Exercising with another person or a group
would be safer in Tupelo and any other American city. Amy Clayton's tragic death offers a lesson for Tupelo and
other communities in Northeast Mississippi. Unexpected and unthink able crimes do not always happen somewhere
else.

SLAYING SUSPECT ARRESTED
The Lee County Sheriff's Department is holding a suspect, Randy Bevill of Pontotoc County, in the brutal slaying of
Amy Clayton. the sheriff's department, however, declined to officially release the suspect's name Monday. Law
enforcement officials declin ed to release the man's name until formal charges are lodged against him. Sheriff Roy
Sandefer said the man was picked up at 11 p. m. Saturday in Pontotoc County on harassing phone call and
disturbance charges in the neighborhood where Miss Clayton lived. Additional charges are expected. Miss Clayton,
an 18-year-old who in a few weeks would have been head cheerleader for Itawamba Junior College, was found early
Friday morning, her throat slashed and her torso pecked with knife wounds. She had left her house Thursday night
to jog, and her parents became concerned when she did not return home. The cause of the young woman's death has
been given as "multiple stab wounds". Sandefer said she was "killed " by cutting wounds, probably stab wounds. He
said she could have been dead from three to eight hours when she was found on Legion Lake Road by a passing
jogger. Investigators for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, as well as the sheriff's department and the Tupelo Police
Department, are reluctant to release detailed information about the s uspect. Sandefer said he understood the
public's desire to know about the murder, but investigators must first find evidence and piece it to gether. "We've got
to make this case," Sandefer said earlier Monday. "We can't afford to tell everybody everything right now." Sandefer
said the man who was picked up closely matched the composite drawing released by the Sheriff's Department
Friday. "He matched the general description....He'd been seen in the area." Sandefer said. "I'm not going to give out
this man's name until he's more than a suspect. He hasn't even been charged at this point." One report was given by
a Lee Street resident to the Tupelo Police Department. A man reported seeing a white male in his early 20s, about 6
feet tall and 200 pounds , with a scruffy beard and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, blue jeans and a bandana headband.
The report was made at 8:15 p.m. The man walked south on Lee Street and Francis Square to Pinehurst. Miss
Clayton lived with her parents on Francis Square. Investigators are at a crucial point in the investigation. After
234
checking out dozens of leads, they are compiling physical evidence to make a case. Physical evidence, including
strands of hair taken from the victim's hands, are being processed by the state crime lab. Sandefer said a sample of
the suspect's hair will be tested to see if it matches that found in Mis s Clayton's hand. But that's only one part of the
investigation, he said. "There is so much evidence to go through. It can't be done all at once, and we have to do it
carefully." Sandefer said. He expects a report back from the state crime within th ree days. "The search is not over,"
Tupelo Police Ch ief Ed Crider said. District Attorney John Young said investigators are still searching for the
murder weapon, which is believed to be a knife. Officials have not ruled out the possibility that the 18-year-old
cheerleader was sexually assaulted. If Miss Clayton was raped, a charge of capital murder could be lodged. Capital
murder can carry the death penalty in Mississippi. One of three criteria must be met for a murder to be classified as a
capital offense: it must be premeditated, it must be committed during the commission of another felony, or if the
crime puts the lives of many people in jeop ardy. Officials are looks for the murder weapon, presumably a knife,
which was not found at the cr ime scene.

SUSPECT REMAINS IN JAIL
by Tina Burtt
Staff Writer
A suspect in the Amy Clayton murder case will remain in jail at least until a circuit judge conducts a hearing into
possible probation violations. A warrant for Randy O'Neal Bevill was issued Monday night on charges that he broke
the terms of a five-year probation sentence he received less than two week ago in Pontotoc County Circuit Court.
Bevill was sentenced July 18 - less than two weeks before Miss Clayton was murdered - on burglary and larceny
charges. Probation and par ole violations are unbondable of fenses. The violations include har assment of a Tupelo
woman and drinking alcholic beverages on July 31. Bevill, a textile worker with a local factory, was charged with
making harassing phone calls to a woman in the same neighborhood where Miss Clayton lived and with creating a
disturbance. A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 14 in Lee County Justice Court on the harassment and dis trubance
charges. An arrest warrant on the probation violations was delivered by a parole and probation officer Monday night
to Bevill an d to Lee Co unty Sheriff Roy Sandefer. The sheriff's department, Mississippi Highway Patrol
investigators and the Tupelo Police Department are compiling evidence in the case. The state Crime Lab will be
involved with the analysis of the evidence before any other charges are filed. Bevill appears to be the prime suspect
in Miss Clayton's murder. Her body was found fully clothed, bound and gagged on the shore of American Legion
Lake. Her parents missed her after she left the family's home Thursday night to jog. Early Friday morning, a jogger
found her body on Legion Lake Road. Her throat was slashed, and she had been stabbed. A preliminary autopsy
report listed the cause of death as multiple stab wounds.
--------------------------------------------------------------(Note on outcom e of trials and appeals for Randy Bevill - He had a change of venue to Monr oe County, Mississippi
where he was convicted and received the death penalty. That conviction was overturned and he was re-tried in Tate
County, Mississippi where he was convicted of kidnapping and murder and sentenced to life without parole. He
appealed to the Mis sissippi Supreme Court but they refused his appeal and let his sentence stand.)

BEVILL RETURNS TO PARCHMAN FOR LIFE SENTENCE
by Al Rogers
Daily Journal
Although the State Supreme Court reversed the 1987 capital murder conviction of Randy Bevill of Thaxton, a circuit judge ruled
Tuesday he still is guilty of a kidnapping charge in connection with the crime and faces life in prison. A ruling handed down in Lee
County Circuit Court Tuesday ordered that Bevill be returned to Parchman where he will serve a life sentence for kidnapping 18year-old Amy Clayton of Tupelo. While Bevill was convicted in Clayton's 1986 capital murder, that conviction was overturned by
the stat e Supreme Court in February on a technicality. The two-page court ruling filed Tuesday ordered that Bevill be returned to
the state penitentiary because the related charge of kidnapping was never addressed in his appeal to the state Supreme Court
235
following his capital murder convictionin April 1987. Procsecutors with the district attorney's office said Wednesday that, since the
kidnapping charge was not addressed in Bevill's appeal to the higher court, that part of the indicment remains in effect. Circuit Judge
Frank Russell agreed with the prosecution and signed the order sending Bevill back to Parchman. Bevill was convicted of capital
murder on April 17, 1987, and s entenced to death in the wake of an 11-day trial in Monroe County Circuit Court. The trial was
moved from Tupelo after defense attorneys claimed the Pontotoc County man could not receive a fair trial in Lee County. Bevill
remains under indictment for Clayton's capital murder and will be scheduled for trial again. Prosecutors and Bevill's attorneys are
divided on the outcome of the hearing held in Lee County Circuit Court Tuesday where Bevill was sent back to Parchman. Bevill's
attorney, Jackson Brown of Starkville, said the defense was not invited to participate in Tuesday's hearing, and he had not become
aware of the circuit court decision until he received word in the mail Wednesday morning. "It's our opinion that if (kidnapping) is
not appealed then it can't be reversed," District Attorney John Young said Wednesday. According to the court order, Bevill was
found guilty of capital murder on April 10, 1987, and was sentenced to be executed. He also was sentenced as a habitual offender
on the kidnapping charge. The court ruled that the sentences be served consecutively. "(Bevill) appealed his conviction for the
crime of capital murder and its consequent death sentence. The conviction for kidnapping was not appealed,:" the ruling stated.
Russell's ruling added, "In the opinion of this court, the sentence of life imprisonment without parole for the crime of kidnapping
must be enforced." Bevill's attorney said he was not pleased with the court's recent action. "I am upset that the decision was made
in a secret hearing, and I am dissatisfied with the decision that was made," Brown said Wednesday. The defense attorney said the
hearing was an ex parte hearing, in which only one side - the prosecution - was involved. Brown said the kidnapping conviction
was addressed to his client's appeal following the capital murder conviction. Bevill's conviction was reversed by the state Supreme
Court on Feb. 19 when the higher court ruled that the judge presiding over Bevill's trial erred in allowing into evidence a statement
made by Bevill after lawmen failed to advise him of his rights. The court ruled that statements Bevill gave investigators, when he
was picked up for questioning on Aug. 2, 1986 were inadmissible. While Bevill gave officers not statement about the killing of
Clayton, the defendant did admit to being in the Clayton's neighborhood at the time of the killing, the Supreme Court ruling said. In
addition, the justices siad Bevill was illegally held afte questioning was over even though he was not charged with a crime. The
conviction had been under appeal since Bevill was sentenced to die by lethal injection. Clayton's body was found Aug. , 1986 near
Americian Legion Lake, near her parent's home in north Tupelo. In addition to being bound, gagged and raped, her throat was cut
and she had been stabbed 3 times.

LEESA MARIE GRAY
"Northeast M ississippi Daily Journal" Editorial: Ju ne 27, 2000 DORSEY'S GRIEF: WIDESPREAD SUPPORT
FOLLOWS TEEN-AGER'S DEATH - Speechless shock and numbing anguish followed Friday night's announcement
that a popular Dorsey community teen-ager had been killed and was believed murdered sometime after work
Thursday night. Confirmation from experts came over the weekend. Leesa Gray, 16, would have been a senior this
fall at Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton. She was a popular, bright student, a leader among her peers, a
respected adolescent who worked in her family's restaurant. What happened to Leesa Gray should not happen
anywhere. It is perhaps most unexpected in a rural community like Dorsey; close-knit, filled with lifelong
friendships, and many family connection s. The pain of her slaying is acute; as it was for New Albany after the recent
murders of David Penell and Paul Ferguson. Violent death , especially for a young person; always is untimely. It is
excruciating in its suddenness and finality for family and friends and for an extended community across a strongly
connected region like Northeast Mississippi. Connectedness, however, also provides the tangible, visible strength
that Leesa Gray's family and inner circle needs. Outpourings of people's presence made visible the co untless prayers
and hope-filled thoughts offered by the people in and ar ound Dorsey, across Itawamba County, and in the other
counties and communities of the region. Her funeral service today at the IAHS Gymnasium undoubtedly will
overflow with people who were touched by her life and her death. The school campus was the center from which
many of her interests radiated. Her family has expressed its thanks for the expressions of support. It is their
extraordinary grace that sets the standard by which the rest of us must respond. Justice will be pursued and delivered
in this case, but today is for remembering, grieving, hoping, and holding on together, as everything about Leesa Gray
indicates she would have wanted.
“Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal” Tupelo, Mississippi June 27, 2000 (Article by Michaela Gibson Morris)
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES IN DORSEY TEEN’S DEATH: Local and state investigators on Monday were still
trying to piece together the chain of events that left a Dorsey community teen dead and a Desert Storm veteran
charged with capital murder. Gunnery Sgt. Eddie Loden, the man accused of kidnapping and strangling 16-year-old
Leesa Gray, has a decorated career with the U. S. Marine Corps spanning nearly 18 years and was the noncommissioned officer in-charge of the Corps’ Vicksburg recruiting office. A motive behind Gray’s violent death
remains elusive. “There’s no reason for it,” said Itawamba County Sheriff Leon Hayes. Gray, whose funeral will b e
today at 11 a.m. at the Itawamba Agricultu ral High School disappeared Thursday night on her way home from
Comer’s, the family restaurant where she worked. Loden, 35, who had grown up around the
Dorsey community, was seen at the restaurant Thursday night, Hayes said. Gray’s car was found a short distan ce
from the restaurant with a flat tire. Her body was discovered late Friday in the van Loden had been driving. Loden,
who was denied bond, is being held in isolation at an uns pecified facility outside of Itawamba County, Hayes
said."We don't have a maximum security facility", Hayes said. Investigators are not the only ones trying to make
sense of Gray’s death and charges against a man with no prior criminal history. “Frankly, we’re shocked,” said Capt.
Nat Fahy, public affairs officer for the U. S. Marine Corps 8th Recruiting District, which included Loden' s
office.“Our thoughts and prayers go out to both f amilies of those involved in this tragic incident.” At this point, the
Marine Corps has taken no action against Loden, Fahy said Monday afternoon. Loden was on a 10-day leave, or
vacation, when he was arrested Friday evening. “We’re awaiting a police report,” Fahy said. Because th e case is
being pursed by civilian author ities, the Marine Corps will likely convene an administrative separation board
instead of seeking a court martial, Fahy said. The administrative board would decide if a preponderance of the
evidence indicated ther e was misconduct. Loden, who is married and has a 2-year-old daughter, joined the Mar ine
Corps in November 1982 after graduating from Itawamba Agricultu ral High School. He was trained in artillery and
served in Hawaii and Japan in addition to serving in the Midd le East during the Desert Storm and Desert Shield
operations, according to his service biography. From 1995 until he began training as a recruiter in June 1998, Loden
was a weapons instructor for the Marine Co rps security force company in Chesapeake, VA. He was assigned to th e
Vicksburg recruitin g station in October 1998. Loden has several service awards including the Navy Commendation
Medal, Kuwaiti Liberation Medal, Navy achievement medals and good conduct medals. Many questions remain as
investigators build a co urt case against Loden. An object was found in the flat tire of Gray’s car, but investigators
are still trying to determine is it was placed there intentionally, Hayes said. Investigators searched the area of the
parking lot where Gray’s car was parked Friday afternoon. Hayes said he has n o information to suggest Gray was
being stalked. Investigators are waitin g for the complete autopsy report to d etermine if Gray was sexually assaulted,
Hayes said.

Journal new editor Ginna Parsons contributed to this story. Preliminary autopsy results show an Itawamba County
teen-ager who was the focus of a massive manhunt died from suffocation. Complete results from the autopsy on
Leesa Gray, 16, were not available Sunday, according to the Itawamba County Sheriff Leon Hayes, but are expected
to be released early this week. The State Medical Examiner's office could not be reached Sunday for further
information. Gray, who worked with h er family at Comer's Restaurant in the Dorsey community, was last seen alive
late Thursday night as she left the restaurant on Mississippi 178. Her car, with a flat tire, was found nearby, and law
enforcement officials were called in. After a massive search effort that involved scores of lawmen, firefighters,
volunteers, and bloodhounds, her body was discovered late Friday in a van in the Ballar dsville community.
Authorities have charged Eddie Loden, a military recruiter based in Vicksburg who had reportedly been driving the
van, But the tragedy with capital murder in the case. At an initial co urt appearance Saturday, bond for Loden was
denied. He is bein g held in a jail ou tside Itawamba County, Hayes said. Leesa Gray's father, John Gray, said Sunday
evening that he was extremely grateful to the Dorsey community for all its efforts in helping to locate his d aughter.
"I appreciate more than anyone will know what everybody did: law enforcement, the community. I'm so thankful for
that. Everybody did everything they could do. It's just so hard to lose a child and this was so violent." Family,
friends and community residents gathered Sunday afternoon for a memorial service for Gray at Bethel Baptist
Church, where she was a member. Services for Gray will b e at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Itawamba Agricultural High
School Gymnasium. Burial will be in the Dorsey Cemetery. McNeese-Morris Funeral Home of Fulton is in charge of
the arrangements. Visitation will be from 4 until 9 p .m. today and from 7 until 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral
home and one hour prior to services at the gymnasium. The family will also receive friends after the service.
"The Sun Herald" Biloxi, Mississippi State sectio n Sunday, August 13, 2000. Teen's Slaying cast shadow Man
with family ties in area charged by James Walker "Vicksburg Post" Dorsey - More than a month has passed since
the girl with the bright smile and the soft voice disappeared, but thin gs are different her now. Most people figure
they always will be. Bethel Baptist Chu rch, where Leesa Gray sang in the choir, has a new sign on the door: "If door
is locked, ring bell for secretary." The secretary at Bethel peered through a newly drilled peephole before unlocking
and opening the church door on a sunny afternoon. "I just don't feel safe anymore," she explained. People in
Itawamba County can count the m urders here in the 1990s without changing hands. Many people have never locked
their doors. But something happened in the dar kest hours of June 22, a crime that has destroyed two families and
torn at the soul of this northeast Mississippi community. A girl is dead, and a Vicksburg man who had been living
with his wife and daughter in a modest home on Markham Street is charged with capital murder. Thomas Edwin
Loden, a Marine recruiter in Vicksburg, owns the minivan where authorities found 16-year-old Leesa Gray's
strangled body stuffed behind the back seat a day after she disappeared. He was found a few hours later, family
members say, walking aimlessly down a Ballardsville road, bleeding after an attempt to take his life. Tragedy
began in parking lot But th e tragedy began the night before, when a sharp object punctured Gray's tire as she
pulled out of the parking lot of the restaurant where she worked with her family. She pulled off on Dorsey School
Road around 11 p. m. that night. Relatives found her car there hours later, her purse still inside, hazard lights
flashing. The spot, less than half a mile from Comer's Restaurant is marked with silk flowers. Leesa Gray would be
17 now. Her birthday was July 11, and school friends marked the date by taking presents to her grave. Eddie Loden
was born in Itawamba County. His family roots here run deep, as evidenced by Loden Road, which runs through
Ballardsville n ear where he was arrested by the Mississipp i Highway Patrol. After his arrest, he was taken directly to
a hospital in Tupelo. His aunt, Myrtle Loden, who lives a few roads over, said it was because he slashed his wrists.
Authorities wouldn't comment, but his wife confirmed the account. Loden has been charged with capital murder,
because authorities allege the killing happened dur ing the commission of another felony, kidnapping. They will not
disclose where he is in jail. Officers with th e Mississippi Highway Patrol refused to rule out the possibility of
sexual assault, and say they are still gathering evidence to present to a future grand jury. 'We just feel helpless,'
relative says "This is the worst thing that has ever happened to our family," said Myrtle Loden, who used to take in
sewing from Gray's family. "We just feel so helpless." Loden graduate in 1982 from Itawamba Agricultural High
School, where Gray was a rising junior. He took part in no sports or school organizatio ns, but those who remember
him say he was a serious student and a good young man. When he graduated he immediately joined the U. S. Marine
Corps. He served in Operation Desert Storm and went to recruiter school in 1998, hoping for an assignment close to
home. Loden was assigned to Vicksburg, where he had run the recruiting office since October 1998. He was in
Itawamba County in June visiting his grandmother, who is infirm and requires the constant care of a nurse. Mike
Comer, Gray's uncle, said he remembered Loden coming into the restaurant after closing that Thursday and ordering
a cheeseburger. Loden was not even suspected until investigators began interviewing everyone who was at the
restaurant that night and couldn't find him. Loden's wife, Kat, who lives in Vicksburg, said she is no closer to
understanding what happened than she w as a month ago. She said Loden was a good hus band and father. "I have
238
received an outpouring of support from our community here and our church," she said. "I'm just going on with my
life the best I can." She said she hasn't decided whether she would attend her husband's trial. 'Where are you
safe?' principal asks Every day, child ren go before their time. In his 28 years as a high school principal, Pete
McMurry has seen it time and again in car accidents, suicides, and tragic illn esses. But he's never seen anything like
this. Leesa Gray was abducted and killed on her way home in her own neighborhood. "We want to do everything we
can to keep our children safe, but with something like this .....Where are you safe?" McMurry said. Ministers and
counselors from Central Mississippi Medical Center were on hand when school started last Wednesday for any
students needing help to make it through the first day. "It's going to be hard; everyone knew and loved her," said
April Covington, a senior at Itawamba. During the search for Gray, students held a 24-hour vigil across the street
from Comer's Restaurant. Later, at her funeral, cars jammed the parking lot. More than 2,000 people signed the three
guest books. "Just about the whole town was there," Covington said. "I was OK until I met her mom, then I just
broke down and started crying." Gray's pastor, the Rev. Terry Coleman, said she inspired other youths by her
example and her kindness. "She had a radiant personality and a very pleasant smile that wasn't pretend," Coleman
said. In Itawamba County, restaurants close Wednesday evenings for church. On the bo rder with Alabama in th e
state's far northeast corner, the county is home to about 21, 000 people. Armor of assurance starting to crack
People here pride themselves on the small-town charm: "Where everyone knows your name," promises one
brochure. In 1997, a survey by the Itawamba County Development Council f ound that 93 per cent of the residents
were "satisfied with public safety." But that armor of assurance is beginning to crack. "I don't think it will ever be
back to normal," said Marilyn Comer, Mike's wife. "You know it's not likely to happen again, but you get this
needling feeling, this fear, and you don't know why. When employees at Comer's Restaurant take out the garbage or
walk to their cars now, they never go alone, she said. Across the county, at the Sands Restaurant in Fulton, Betsy
Thrasher agreed. She said her husband has started walking their waitresses to their cars at night. "I'm leery of
everything now," Thrasher said. "It's a sad feelin g." Mike Comer and the rest of Leesa's family, along with Loden's
family, will be looking for an explanation in the months ahead, as investigators and detectives give way to
prosecutors and defenders. "Something like this is so unnecessary," Comer said. "Maybe some information will
come out during the trial, and maybe we can get some answers then."
"Northeast Mississip pi Daily Journal" Tuesday, May 29, 2007 JACKSON - The Mississippi Supreme Court will
hear arguments today from death row inmate Tho mas E. Loden, Jr., a former marine recruiter appealing his
conviction for the murder of an Itawamba County teenager. Loden was sentenced to death in 2001 in I tawamba
County for killin g 16-year-old Leesa Gray. He was sentenced to 30 years on kidnapping and rape counts. Gray
disappeared June 22, 2000, while on her way home from work as a waitress at her family's restaurant in the Dorsey
community. She was found dead of strangulation the next day in Loden's van, according to court documents.
Defense attorneys had argued that Loden's confession was given without the benefit of legal counsel. The trial judge
ruled the confession could be used by prosecutors. Loden graduated in 1982 from Itawamba Agricultural High
School and immediately joined the U. S. Marine Corps. He served in Operation Desert Storm and went to recruiter
school in 1998. Loden was assigned to Vicksburg later that year, where he started operating the recruiting office.
"Northeast Mississip pi Daily Journal" Friday, October 5, 2007 JACKSON - Thomas Edwin Loden Jr. has lost the
latest battle in his fight against the death penalty . The Mississippi Supreme Court on Thursday rejected Loden's
claims that his sentence to die by lethal injection was wrongly handed down in 2001 in cir cuit court of Itawamba
County. Loden, now 43, waived his rights during his trial and pleaded guilty to charges of capital murder, rape and
four counts of sexual battery in the June 2000 kidnapping and strangulation of 16-year-old Leesa Marie Gray of
Itawamba County. "If you're going to have a death penalty, this is the poster child for it," said Assistant District
Attorney Clay Joyner, one of three prosecutors who worked the case. During a 2001 sentencing hearing before
Circuit Judge Thomas Gardener III, Loden told his attorneys he didn't want them to object to any evidence or
question any witnesses who said he should be put to death. He also told his attorneys not to put on any witnesses to
testify why he shouldn't be executed. After receiving the death penalty, Loden appealed, saying his attorneys didn't
explain that he couldn' t directly appeal his conviction. The Supreme Court received a series of issues raised by
Loden that he insisted were mistakes made in his sentencing. Among those: that he was denied social workers to
find mitigating circumstances to the death penalty ; that the indictment didn' t charge a death penalty offense; and
that a portion of the state law under which he was sentenced is flawed. Court records show that Loden pleaded
guilty to kidnapping the teenager and abusing her sexually. He also made a video of the rapes, which auth orities
said lasted about four hours. He dug a shallow grave in an area near where he killed th e teen. Authorities found the
former Marine lying in the road with "I'm sorry" carved into his chest with a sharp object. Later they found Gray's
body in his vehicle. Joyner said he expects Loden to use all the appeals he has . The prosecutor also said he expects
239
the courts will uphold the sentence. "All parties involved will sleep better after he's dead," Joyner said.

Violence
Madelyn F. Young
When violence stretches out its ugly hand and strikes someone we love, it is always a shock. Always. For some
reason, we are never prepared to deal with it. Every day the newspapers are full of it. Television programs dramatize
it. Movies entertain u s with it. Yet the reality of violence invading our personal worlds never occurs to us. We
think we are immune-or maybe we just hope we are. Then the nightmare comes true.
* * *
Friday morning the teleph one rang at 7:00. We are retired now so any calls that early are unusual.
The bathroom door opened, and Robin stuck his head in.
“That was Jan. Marilyn called, and they think Leesa, Wanda’s daughter, was abducted last night. She was
on her way home from working at Comer’s and had a flat tire. They found her car abandoned, and they’re still
searching for her.”
My mind reeled trying to make sense of what I just heard. Leesa Gray was the teen-aged daughter of our
niece, Wanda Farris. Leesa, Wanda, and other family members all worked at the restaurant established by Robin’s
sister, Joyce, and her husband, James Comer, now both deceased. Everyone in the little co mmunity of Dorsey,
Mississippi, loved Comer’s. The food was great, and the peo ple were friendly. How could she have been abducted
right there in Dorsey? That was crazy.
I climbed out of the tub and dressed. As Robin and I ate breakfast, we talked some more.
“Is there any possibility she might be at a friend’s house?” I asked.
“I don’t thin k so. They found all her personal belongings still in the car-her keys, her purse. It doesn’t look
good.”
J.D., my brother-in-law, went over to the restaurant. When he returned, he told an emotional story. The
sheriff and other law enforcement officers had combed the woods and surrounding area all night. They had a
suspect in mind-a man in his thirties who was from the Dorsey area. After graduating from high school, he left to
join the Marines and was now a recruiter based in Vicksburg. The fellow was in the restaurant the day before,
hanging around and talking with the young women. Right before closing time, he ordered two cheeseburgers to go,
then left right after Leesa. When the officers went out to his grandmother’s house, their tracking dogs picked up
241
Leesa’s scent around his van. They left an officer there to watch the van while they went to get a search warrant. In
the meantime, the man said he was “going fishing,” and he had taken off into the woods.
Later that morning the officers returned, confiscated the locked van, loaded it onto a trailer and transported
it to the Highway Patrol Investigative Office in New Albany. There they began a slow, meticulous search inside the
van for any evidence. All day crowds of friends and family members gathered at Comer’s, keeping prayer vigils
going round the clock. Law officers continued searching for Leesa and also for the man. We talked with our grown
children and other friends and asked for their prayers.
Friday evening we received the call. Leesa was dead. The investigative team found her body inside the
van. When they worked their way to the rear, they discovered her body under the fold-down seats, put it into a bag,
and no one els e was allowed to see or touch the remains. The state medical examiner in Jackson would be the one
who would perform the autopsy.
My stomach churned. I felt weak. How could this happen to Leesa? Why would anyone single out such a
sweet, innocent person? It didn’t make sense. My head was throbbing, my heart aching for Wanda and Mike and all
the family.
The man was in custod y. There was comfort in that-in knowing. Officers picked him up earlier that
evening along another country road. He was being held in an undis closed location.
Since then, we have shed many tears with the family. Monday night we attended the visitation at the funeral
home. Tuesday morning the memorial service was held at th e local high school gymnasium. Leesa was a vibrant,
beautiful young woman, a leader of her junior class and active with her youth group at church. Hundreds of her
young friends turned out to hug her mother and cry on each other ’s shoulders.
* * *
Why did this happen? There are no good answers. Human actions and laws of nature create tragedies which
cause us to suffer. Only through the loving care of friends and family can we find our way through the anger and the
grief. The Bible says our Heavenly Father will not leave us desolate and in despair. We cling to that promise,
trusting His love will o vercome even the most gruesome circumstances. “Deliver us from evil,” we pray. “Deliver us
from EVIL!”
So be it, Lord, so be it.

HORACE SEAVER CARSWELL, JR.
From website: Members: fortunecity.com/tokenguy/tokenrales/page 36 - In the movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
the story line was about the attempts of Captain John Miller's squad to save the life of Private James Ryan. "Saving
Private Ryan" was a stirring work of fictio n, but th e following is the story of a real person, a real hero of World War
Two, named Horace Seaver Carswell, Jr. Carswell Air Force Base (now deactivated) in Fort Worth, Texas was
named for Major Horace Carswell. What kind of man gives up all of his tomorrows, all of his hopes and dreams, in
an attempt to save the life of a comrade in war? Horace S. Carswell came from a middle class family; four of his
uncles were Methodist preachers. Horace was born in Fort Worth on July 18, 1916, the son of Horace S. and Bertha
Carswell. Horace's family lived at 1614 Denver Avenue of Fort Worth's northside. Horace, or Stump as he like to be
called, attended church at Boulevard Methodist Church. His father worked at Swift's meat packing plant on the
northside. Horace and his father liked to go fishing together, and after he was big enough, Horace also worked
summers at the packing plant. Horace attended North Side High School, where he play football. He was a heck of a
football planer , saw a lot of play on the small North Side team, and scored the winning touchdown on an Armistice
Day game against the tough Wichita Falls team in 1933. After graduation from North Side, Horace attended college
at Texas A & M for a year, and then in Fort Worth at TCU (Texas Christian University) where he also played
football. At a short but stocky 165 pounds, he was light by today's standards for the fullback position he played. On
a double date at TCU, Horace met a coed featured in on the yearbook beauty pages, by the name of Virginia Ede.
Virginia was from a ranching family from the west Texas town of San Angelo. Later Horace would meet Virginia
again in San Angelo. "Stump" graduated with a degree in business administration from TCU in 1939. Horace
worked for a short time for an insurance comp any. Then in March 1940, Horace Joined the Army Air Corps. He
started as a flight cadet, and after training, graduated from flight school as a second lieutenant in November of 1940.
While statio ned at Goodfellow Field in San Angelo, Texas, Horace married Virginia Ede. Horace was a good pilot,
and a daredevil, who flew a plane down and buzzed TCU's Goode Hall, and his father-in-law's cow camp on the
Concho River. Horace and Virginia's marriage was a happy one, and their son, Robert Ede Carswell was born at
Clovis Army Field in September 1943. World War Two was raging across the world. Horace was promoted to Major
and deputy commander of the 308th Bombardment Group in the Pacific Theater. He was flying B-24 Liberator
bombers out of China by the spring of 1944. General Claire Chennault's Fourteenth Air Force was mainly known for
the shark nosed fighter, but also had a small force of B-25 and B-24 bombers. They were used mainly in solo attacks
and patrols, and also fly supplies "over the Hump" to China. In an early action, he was shot down over the
Himalayas, and was able to get back to base before the news got back to his wife and family. On Oct 15, 1944, five
months after he joined Liuchow on a solo sweep over the South China S ea, where he came upon a Japanese naval
formation. In the first attack on a Japanese cruiser, Carswell's crew made two direct hits, and blew up the enemy
ship. Three more bomb runs on a Japanese destroyer scored one direct hit that put that ship out of action also! On
the night of October 26-27, 1944, he was on a single aircraft bombing mission against a Japanese convoy in the
South China Sea. His bombing run was made at 600 feet above the waves. He made a second bombing pass over a
very alert Japanese convoy, and scored two direct hits on an enemy tanker. The B-24 had inflicted serious damage
on the enemy, but two of the four engines were knocked out. As Carswell steered the aircraft back home, the third
engine began to fail just as he managed to get the crippled warbird over land. Carswell realized the peril and
ordered the crew to bail out. Eight of the crewmen bailed out, but the bo mbardier, Lt. Walter W. Hiller of Chicago,
reported his parachute was shredded by flak. Carwell would not bail out and leav e Hiller and the wounded copilot,
Lt. James O'Neal (of Maywood, Illinois). He chose instead to stay and try to crash-land the heavy bomber. As the B24 continued to lose pow er, Carswell struggled with the contr ols, but the bomber didn't have enough power to clear
the mountains, and it slammed into a peak and exploded. The last man of the eight who parachuted safely from the
airplane, was Staff Sergeant Charlton Schnepf of Hicksville, New York, who reported th at just before he jumped, he
saw the bombardier kneeling on the flight deck, beside Major Carswell and co-pilot O'Neal. THE MEDAL OF
HONOR In 1946, Major Carswell was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on October 27,
1944. For those who may not be familiar with the hierarchy of U. S. military decoration, the Medal of Honor is THE
most highly defined award possible in military service. For his actions on the previous mission of October 15, 1944,
he was also posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Horace Carswell died in service to his country
at age 28. He was an only child. In an interview with a newsman, before that last flight, he told the reporter that his
father had wept the night before he had left for primary flight training. On February 27, 1948, the name of Fort
Worth Army Air Field was changed to Carswell Air Force Base to honor the only member of the Fourteenth Air
Force, and the first person from Fort Worth to win the natio n's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.
Throughout the 1950's and 1960's , Carswell Air Force Base was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base. Being
adjacent to th e "bomber plant" (later named General Dynamics and now Lockheed Martin), it was home to B-24's,
the B-36, F111's, F16's and most memorable the giant B-52 intercontinental bombers. the Jimmy Stewart movie
243
"Strategic Air Command" was filmed at Carswell Air Base. Carswell Air Force Base has been deactivated and is now
known as the Naval Air Station & Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Source: Michael Rea Family History:
Here is his MOH citation:
"Horace while over the South China Sea, was cited for piloting a B-24 bomber in a one-plane strike against a
Japanese convoy in the South China Sea on the night of 26th. Taking the enemy force of 12 ships escorted by
at least 2 destroyers by surprise, he made 1 bombing run at 600 feet, scoring a near miss on 1 warship and
escaping without drawing fire. He circled. And fully realizing that the convoy was thoroughly alerted and would
meet his next attack with a barrage of antiaircraft fire, began a second low-level run which culminated in 2
direct hits on a large tanker. A hail of steel from Japanese guns, riddled the bomber, knocking out 2 engines,
damaging a third, crippling the hydraulic system, puncturing 1 gasoline tank, ripping uncounted holes in the
aircraft, and wounding the copilot; but by magnificent display of flying skill, Horace controlled the plane's
plunge toward the sea and carefully forced it into a halting climb in the direction of the China shore. On
reaching land, where it would have been possible to abandon the staggering bomber, one of the crew
discovered that his parachute had been ripped by flak and rendered useless; the pilot, hoping to cross
mountainous terrain and reach a base. Continued onward until the third engine failed. He ordered the crew to
bail out while he struggled to maintain altitude. And, refusing to save himself, chose to remain with his
comrade and attempt a crash landing. He died when the airplane struck a mountainside and burned. With
consummate gallantry and intrepidity, Horace gave his life in a supreme effort to save all members of his
crew. His sacrifice. far beyond that required of him, was in keeping with the traditional bravery of America's
war heroes."
2.CARSWELL, HORACE S., JR. (1916-1944). Horace S. Carswell, Jr., Medal of Honor recipient, was born on
July 18, 1916, in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of Horace S. and Bertha Carswell. He attended Texas Christian
University in August 1939. He was appointed flying cadet in March 1940 and completed flight training and was
appointed second lieutenant in November 1940. By October 1944 Major Carswell was deputy commander of
the 308th Bombardment Group in the Pacific Theater. He was flying a B-24 on the night of October 26, 1944,
on a single-aircraft night mission against a Japanese convoy in the South China Sea. He elected to make a
second low-level run over a thoroughly alerted convoy and scored two direct hits on a large tanker. His
copilot was wounded, and his aircraft had two engines knocked out, a third damaged, the hydraulic system
damaged, and a fuel tank punctured. He managed to gain enough altitude to reach land, where he ordered the
crew to bail out. Finding the bombardier's parachute too badly damaged to use, Carswell stayed with the
aircraft and attempted a crash landing. The badly damaged aircraft crashed against a mountain, and both
Carswell and the copilot were killed.
Major Carsw ell was aw arded the Medal of Honor in 1946. He w as cited for having given "his life...to save all
members of his crew" and for "sacrifice far beyond that required of him." He was also posthumously
awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Air Medal, and the Purple
Heart. The medals were presented to his wife, Virginia, on December 20, 1944, and July 21, 1945. On February
27, 1948, Fort Worth Army Airfield was renamed Carswell Air Force Baseqv in his honor. Carswell was buried
at a Catholic mission in Tungchen, China. He was survived by his wife and one son.

REGGIE YOUNG
MEMPHIS R & B TO NASHVILLE STUDIOS
by
Guy Lee
Reggie Young is one of the most recorded guitarists in history. His tasty style has opened doors for him to play
onstage and in the studio with every style of music possible; early rockabilly, rhythm and blues, country, rock, pop,
and even jazz!
Young was born in Missou ri, grew up in Arkansas, and moved to Memphis at age 13. His father played guitar
around the ho use and Reggie received his first guitar - a National flat-top - for Christmas in 1950. He played his first
gig at age 15 and made $13. Growing up, Young was heavily influenced by the WSM radio show out of Nashville
called "Two Guitars." It featured Chet Atkins, Jerry Byrd and Ray Edenton. Young would listen and try to figure out
guitar licks.
He joined Eddie Bond and the S tompers in 1955. A local disc jockey named Sleepy Eyed John heard them play
and asked them to record the song "Rocking Daddy" at WHHM studio. Mercury Records heard the son and signed
Bond to a deal. The song charted and became a hit, so the band hit the r oad with the likes of Johnny Cash, Roy
Orbison, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Horton.
Young' s next sessio was for Mercury. He was paid union scale - $41.25 - he keeps the stub in his scrapbook. He
played with Johnny Horton throughout 1958. Every Saturday they'd play "The Louisiana Hayride." Then Bill Black
formed his combo, and asked Reggie to come aboard. That band opened for may prominent acts of the day,
including an outfit call The Beatles! Sessions in Muscle Shoals, Fame Studios and Royal Studio in Mem phis kept
him busy at the time, and after traveling to New York to work for Atlantic Reco rds, Young helped form the Memphis
Boys, which served as the house band at American Studios.
The Memphis Boys helped turn out hit after hit from 1967 to '72, including Elvis' comback hits "Suspicious
Minds," "In The Ghetto," and "Kentucky Rain."
Soon after, Young moved to Nashville and has been here since, playing on a list of who's who in the pop and
country world. He played the famous riff on "Drift Away" and the beautiful guitar part on Travis Tritt's "Anymore."
His work ethic and dedication to cr aft have earned him a listing in 1,000 Great Guitartists, selection as 1978's
"Super Picker of the Year" by The Nashville ch apter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for
playing on the most sessions, scored him a gig backing Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson at Boby Dylan's 30th
Anniversary concert, performed on the "Tonight Show," "Late Night with David Letterman," "Saturday Night Live,"
"The Nashville Network," "CMA Awards," and gigs at several Farm Aid concerts.
His playing is featured on nearly 20 movie soundtracks and if you caught VH1's "Top 100 Songs" program last
year, Young played on three of them! Twice he has performed at th e Kennedy Center Honors - for tributes to
Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. And of course, he has toured the world over.
