Lived i 2 CONC n Schertz till 5 or 6 years old, when the family moved to San Antonio, Patterson Avenue in Al 2 CONC amo Heights. His father became a prominent surgeon, known world wide, with offices in the Med 2 CONC ical Arts Building. Christian Jr., "Sonny", "Malford", "Chris" in later years, loved the outd 2 CONC oors, swimming in the river at Kerrville, playing football at Alamo Heights, driving cars a b 2 CONC it too fast, racing small boats with dual outboard motors on Lake Medina, and then flying i 2 CONC n pre-World War II Texas. Once pushed his sister Virginia into a water well in Schertz as a p 2 CONC rank. One of his favorite stories from football was as a running back, getting knocked out an 2 CONC d then running almost for a touchdown in the "other" direction. Luckily enough he went in th 2 CONC e right direction often enough to earn him the name "Star" by his team mates. The dual outboa 2 CONC rds were frowned upon as unnecessary excess at the time, but have found favor in modern boati 2 CONC ng. The "natives" in Bermuda scoffed at the yank with this boat arrangement in 1952, but line 2 CONC d up to be first to buy it when the family moved back stateside in 1955. 2 CONT 2 CONT He graduated from Schreiner College, Kerrville, Tx. in 193? and then received his BA from U 2 CONC T at Austin. He was a member of Kappa Alpha Fraternity in Austin. Chris was a little on th 2 CONC e wild side, but a very devout Christian. His mother was a faithfull Baptist, and his fathe 2 CONC r attended a Presbyterian church in San Antonio, so he alternated while growing up. Chris rai 2 CONC sed his kids going to Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church in San Antonio. 2 CONT 2 CONT During College years, his flying adventures somewhat parallelled his brashness on the water a 2 CONC nd on four wheels, buzzing parties in Texas ranch country in small private planes, cruising i 2 CONC n the air between home and college in the 1930's, and running with a crowd that included th 2 CONC e afluent Coverts of Austin and such starlets as Ann Southern who married one in the group o 2 CONC f friends. He spoke of nearly "buying the farm" on a number of occassions while pushing the e 2 CONC nvelope a bit too far in his private plane. His flying skills learned during this time thoug 2 CONC h, earned him a flight instructor position for multi-engine bombers and an officer's commissi 2 CONC on in World War II in the Air Force. Toward the end of the war, he had orders to take his ow 2 CONC n crew in a B-29 bomber overseas to the Pacific theater, but the war ended before this coul 2 CONC d take place. During one of his training missions with B-29s in Texas during this time, his f 2 CONC light path took him "reasonably" close to his sister Virginia (Cotham) Carlson's family ranc 2 CONC h near El Campo. The temptation was too much and he decided to "buzz" the ranchhouse to ge 2 CONC t a reaction out of his relatives and show them a B-29 "up close and personal". He made one l 2 CONC ow pass to get them outside, which definitely worked, and then returned for the "coup de gras 2 CONC " when he flew so close to the ground that the turbulence spun the windmill violently. (Min 2 CONC d you, this was a huge four engine bomber and Definitely not a regulation maneuver!) He the 2 CONC n casually "shondelled" out and went along their way. After the war, Chris tried to keep hi 2 CONC s crew together and persuade them to join "Hurricane Hunters" with him, but the navigator bal 2 CONC ked and the idea was abandoned. 2 CONT 2 CONT Before the war Christian met and married Jeanne Elizabeth Kagay, an Alamo Heights girl that h 2 CONC e had met through friends. Jeanne's conservative father Ray did not approve of the reputatio 2 CONC n that preceded Chris, so the couple eloped and married in Jourdanton, a preferred destinatio 2 CONC n for marriages on the hush at that time, just South of San Antonio. The "hush" was outed eve 2 CONC n before the couple got back from the honeymoon, supposedly by a resident of Jourdanton who w 2 CONC as also a patient of Dr. Cotham. Love, and the ordinance of marriage prevailed and in a shor 2 CONC t time both sides of the family embraced the marriage. Chris used to love scaring Jeanne by p 2 CONC utting the car onto the railroad tracks of the old causeway that went across Harbor Island t 2 CONC o the island Port Aransas was located on, and riding those 7 miles across the water on all th 2 CONC ose rail (only) bridges, not knowing if a train was going to be coming the other way. 2 CONT 2 CONT After the war, Chris decided to give it a go in Medical School, but after a cadaver or two i 2 CONC n Galveston, found that his heart was not in it, so he applied for and was accepted by the Ai 2 CONC rforce Reserve to study Meteorology at Rantoul Airforce Base in Illinois. He received his c 2 CONC ertificate in Meteorology and was stationed at Randolph AFB in l949 and then Shemya, Alaska i 2 CONC n l950. Tours of duty were then completed in Bermuda in 1955, Wichita Falls in 1957, Randolp 2 CONC h in 1961, Chaumont, France in 1962, and Spangdahlem, Germany in 1965, just before his retire 2 CONC ment as a Major (officially, though a Staff Seargent at the end of his last tour) in 1966. 2 CONT 2 CONT After retirement, Chris worked as a postman, fabricator for Swearingen Aircraft, hardware sto 2 CONC re clerk, and salesman for Sunset Memorial. Chris also helped as a red-cross volunteer and fo 2 CONC r rehabilitation units in Hunt, Texas. His attachment to the Texas coast and in particular th 2 CONC e barrier islands off the coast of Corpus Christi continued, as the family vacationed and fis 2 CONC hed there often, staying in the cottages built after the war by Jeanne's dad and brother, Ray 2 CONC mond Kagay and John R.

A business partner talked him into a silver mining venture in Tempe, Arizona so he sol 2 CONC d the business in 1926 and moved the family to Tempe, Arizona! He sold the house to the Alle 2 CONC n family; accepted a Cadillac and Ruby/Diamond Ring as a down payment!

Early in lif 2 CONC e (about 1850) his family moved to a wild and wooly area of North Texas near Bonham, where hi 2 CONC s father participated as an independent mounted volunteer ("Bonham Mounted Dragoons") durin 2 CONC g the Civil War, and subsequently as Sheriff of Bonham. There were family stories of close en 2 CONC counters with Jesse James (see story of brother Moses Payne hiding Jesse in a barn from his f 2 CONC ather the sheriff) and, no doubt, other encounters typical of life in small western towns o 2 CONC n the edge of civilization during that period. His house there still stands (as of 1995), nea 2 CONC r Randolph, and is covered in the front with a climbing rose. James moved his family along wi 2 CONC th some of his in-laws (Cox) to Burnet around 1888. 2 CONT 2 CONT He was a devout member of the Christian Church in Burnet, Texas, where he farmed and later ra 2 CONC n a furniture store on the town square in Burnet. His youngest daughter Mabel was afflicted w 2 CONC ith polio and crippled most of her life, and a doctor in the town had the bank foreclose on t 2 CONC he family farm to pay the medical bills accumulated for her care. This apparently caused th 2 CONC e move into town. 2 CONT 2 CONT His son, Christian Malford Cotham, was deternined to become a doctor as a result, and vowed n 2 CONC ever to do the same to anyone who needed his care. He did indeed become a doctor, graduatin 2 CONC g near the top of his class from the University of Texas medical school in Galveston at the p 2 CONC rocotious young age of 21. He followed through on his vow, giving away surgery and other medi 2 CONC cal treatment throughout his long and acclaimed career. Family members still meet people arou 2 CONC nd the world who were treated by Dr. Cotham, almost 50 years after the Doctor's death. (Dr. C 2 CONC otham also built and operated one of the first hospitals in Schertz, Texas.) 2 CONT 2 CONT Other children of James and Narcissa became high school teachers and university professors 2 CONC , a testament to the loving, and disciplined upbringing in that household. James died in 1910 2 CONC , attended by his son, Dr. Christian Malford Cotham. James Clarke's house and property in Bur 2 CONC net became part of the grounds of a public school, but the majectic oak seen in old photos o 2 CONC f his front yard is still visible on the corner of the playground of the current school. Fro 2 CONC m all accounts, James led a conservative, loving, simple, hard working and Christ centered li 2 CONC fe. 2 CONT 2 CONT Obituary and Dr. Cotham's marriage announcement (to Forrest Hudson of Caldwell, Texas) availa 2 CONC ble in archives of the Burnet Bulletin newspaper.

I don't think it is a coincidence that John names one of his kids Phinea 2 CONC s(I think that the P in John P Cox is probably also Phineas). Also descendants of John and Ph 2 CONC ineas get married! I am pretty sure now after finding a will for Mildred Estes Cox, wife of F 2 CONC rederick Cox(son of John Cox and Mary Coleman), that John P Cox is their son who is mentione 2 CONC d in the will of 1822 as living beyond Virginia. I did find a pedigree on Rootsweb that had t 2 CONC he father of Phineas as an unknown William Cox of VA. Frederick Cox had two brothers Bartle 2 CONC y and John. Both married Bouldin girls. I can find no children for Bartley, and John had tw 2 CONC o sons Richard and John. This John could also be John P COx. I can't find any record of wha 2 CONC t happened to the nephews of Frederick Cox. John P Cox named his oldest child Coleman Cox, wh 2 CONC ich has led some to include John P Cox as a son of John Cox and Mary Coleman. However, Mary w 2 CONC ould have been well past 50 at his birth in 1758 so he is much more likely to be a grandson 2 CONC .

(6,040 acres) Story involved Indian rai 2 CONC ds, sickness, and deaths, and the fact that the colonists were forced to flee the area 4 mont 2 CONC hs before the required settlement period was complete, due to a lack of food ration stores i 2 CONC n the face of constant Indian attacks. Edmiston escaped back to his family in Washington Coun 2 CONC ty, Arkansas to recuperate, and the family returned to Texas around 1844 and settled near pre 2 CONC sent day Randolph in Fannin County, Texas. 2 CONT 2 CONT Mary Cox's Autobiography 2 CONT 2 CONT The following is from a handwritten "manuscript" in the vertical file. The pages are not sign 2 CONC ed, nor does the writer identify herself in the text, other than stating who her father is--E 2 CONC dmiston Cox. The story gives us a remarkable view into what life was like for the pioneers wh 2 CONC o first came to Texas. 2 CONT 2 CONT Bertram, Burnet County, Texas 2 CONT Aug. 1, 1913 2 CONT (Author is Mary Cox, sister of Narcissus Maria Cox Cotham, JCC, 2004) 2 CONT ~~~~~~~~ 2 CONT I was born about 6 miles northwest of Van Buren, Crawford Co., Arkansas Nov. 21, 1844, on a n 2 CONC ewly settled place in a single room log cabbin. It was near the line of the Indian Territor 2 CONC y and many crimes were committed along the line, supposedly by white men, outlaws thinking i 2 CONC t would be lain on Indians. Some of these crimes were committed by men of mixed blood also, a 2 CONC nd the lawless whites and bad mixed bloods worked together and so it made things uncomfortabl 2 CONC e for peaceable people. 2 CONT Father had been to Texas twice before I was borne. I do not know the date of his first visit 2 CONC , but have heard him say he passed Mr. Dugan's house and saw the Indian's head sticking on th 2 CONC e fence stake of the field fence that Miss Kate Dugan cut off with a broad axe after he was k 2 CONC illed in her father's lot. Thus to keep her word after her brother was killed by Indians. Tha 2 CONC t was that she would cut off the head of the first Indian she got a chance at, and this was h 2 CONC er first chance. 2 CONT The history of the Dugan fight is written in the History of Fannin County, by Colonel or Judg 2 CONC e Simpson as he was called in that part of the state at the time he wrote. I was brought up w 2 CONC ithin four miles of Judge Simpson's home but strange to say, never was inside his house. 2 CONT I came with my parents to Texas an infant in the fall of 1846. Father had made his second tri 2 CONC p to Texas and spent some two years in the old unfortunate Peters Colony, sharing the privati 2 CONC ons and dangers of such a life and went home in the Spring of 1843, after the Indian raid i 2 CONC n which Dr. Caulder was killed in sight of Jonathen Allen's house, which place is now the tow 2 CONC n of Allen in Collin County. 2 CONT My father was Edmiston Cox. He and his uncle Burwell Cox of Cane Hill Arkansas raised a compa 2 CONC ny, therefor the purpose of joining Peters' Colony and had about 30 men, some of his younge 2 CONC r brothers among the number. Their old claimes are well known now in Denton County. Father' 2 CONC s claim cornered near a big spring on Little Elm Creek and their claimes were spread out betw 2 CONC een the two Elms. There was Edmiston Cox, Burwell Cox, Senior, Burwell Cox junior, Anderson C 2 CONC ox, and I think, John Cox. Father was an agent and had a lot of their duplicate certifficate 2 CONC s and I have some of them yet. There was John D. Black, Elihve Picket, ____ Fisher, J. K. Now 2 CONC elon and oh! I can't recall all the names I found among them. I was offered $20.00 each for t 2 CONC hese certifficates after Denison in Grayson County was built up. A man came there and adverti 2 CONC sed for them and that he or his partners would pay that much for them. Why did I not sell the 2 CONC m? Friends and fellow Texans, I thought if they were worth anything to them, they might be wo 2 CONC rth more to the owners or their descendants, if they could be found; besides, they were my wi 2 CONC tnesses to the fact that my father had a claim in Texas of 6040 acres of land which would hav 2 CONC e been patented to him in a few months, had not the Indian raid prevented their staying ther 2 CONC e those few months. They aimed to go back, certainly, but father was taken sick with the dise 2 CONC ase that caused his death. It was caused by the exposures to which he was subjected in camp a 2 CONC nd other frontier privations through the severe Texas winter in the rude fort. 2 CONT Those certifficates are still my witnesses that father was an agent in Peters Colony, and th 2 CONC e agents were entitled to premium lands farther west, and in as much as my father settled me 2 CONC n who kept their homes, I would like to know why he did not get his premium. His name is sign 2 CONC ed to all the papers I have. 2 CONT I would have disdained to sell those duplicates, though it was during the days of reconstruct 2 CONC ion after the war between the states and I needed money, because I could not bear the idea o 2 CONC f making money out of the misfortunes of others. That is another reason. 2 CONT But to go back to the first part of my story. When father started out calling for men, he sai 2 CONC d he would not do things by halves, so he would don the Peters' Colony uniform, which was a l 2 CONC a Davy Crocket throughout. His was made by mother's hands entirely. The suit of brown jeans 2 CONC , spun and woven by her hands and every seam stitched by her fingers, and a coonskin cap wit 2 CONC h a buckskin pouch for ammunition, ect with a powder horn attached. But he bawked at the Bui 2 CONC e knife, as did others. A compromise was made between the common butcher knife and jack knife 2 CONC , which hung in a leather scabbard to the side of the pouch. He kept his outfit for some year 2 CONC s after coming to Texas to stay, and wore it occasionally to hunt deer in. I remember how i 2 CONC t looked, I thought horrable. I remember seeing a few others dressed in that same garb. Mothe 2 CONC r said she tried to persuade him out of wearing that suit, and protested against the making o 2 CONC f it, but he said if she did not make it someone else would, so she went to work on it. 2 CONT The reaching Texas and going in to the wilderness. The work of selecting and surveying claims 2 CONC , building cabbins, digging wells was all laborious, and troublesom, and the dread of India 2 CONC n attacks kept them in a nervous strain continually. Mother said papa said he was going to Te 2 CONC xas to settle, so being young and inexperienced, thought best to send a good load of househol 2 CONC d goods ahead, so she packed box after box for that big oxwagon to carry away, none of whic 2 CONC h she ever saw again, except a large doublewoven coverlet, such as now sells at princely sum 2 CONC s for rugs and door hangings among the esthetic; (and a little sauce skillet); one smotherin 2 CONC g iron. Only what papa took for his own bedding when he went home. A large box of real good b 2 CONC edclothing, one of books, a large looking class, dishes, cooking utensils, ect. You see, whe 2 CONC n they reached Texas some of the men backed out at the fearful aspect and turned for home, ye 2 CONC t the state had young heroes dropped around without means of support, and so father and his u 2 CONC ncle put out word that they would support all that would come to them and so their little for 2 CONC t was soon filled. And out came mother's quilts, blankets and coverlets to make beds for "th 2 CONC e boys" on the cold hard ground. You see everything fitted together so nicely. The settler wa 2 CONC nted protection, "the boys" wanted a support and there it was. 2 CONT And now comes the horrorable story. The story that has been repeated at every attempt to sett 2 CONC le the country with the white races from the time the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth until now 2 CONC . They had built a double log house for a fort and supplies running low on account of the rec 2 CONC ruits coming in. Father set out for Bonham the nearest place from which anything could be obt 2 CONC ained. He had two men, I think, with him. They were with the ox wagon and he was on horseback 2 CONC . As they neared home on the last night they expected to be out, they were afraid to stop an 2 CONC d cook supper for fear the Indians would see their fire and attack them. So they traveled al 2 CONC l night, aiming to reach Johnathan Allen's for their breakfast where they had been before an 2 CONC d at whose board, many a lonely wafairer had found succor. They reached Mr. Allen's at sunu 2 CONC p but found not a soul. Breakfast was on the table, but only a few plates had been helped. Th 2 CONC e fire had been put out and the wood and fireplace was wet, the doors were all open, everythi 2 CONC ng pointing to the true state of affairs. They had been run off by Indians. They had sat dow 2 CONC n to eat when the alarm was given, and they had made for the fort (Bird's Fort) that was no 2 CONC t far away. They, the Indians, killed Dr. Caulder in sight of the house and left his corpse t 2 CONC o persue the fleeing family. But not till late in the day did father learn that he had passe 2 CONC d that corpse and learn of the trail of blood that flowed all over the settler's country. 2 CONT Peters' Colony was about broken up, and many left. Father went home that evening from Allen' 2 CONC s and found the men all barred up, scared nearly out of their wits. They had only lately stoc 2 CONC kaded their little fort. The Indians had surrounded it but feared to attack it, so crept of 2 CONC f into the woods and lay low. All the next day the little band kept watch through newly mad 2 CONC e portholes but nothing stirred till in the afternoon a lone Indian came out in the open glad 2 CONC e in sight of the fort, then another and another, and others till there was some hundred or h 2 CONC undreds bunched up in full view of the port-holes. 2 CONT Then hearts fluttered and became weak. Who knows the thoughts of those inside, barred by al 2 CONC l kinds of props were the doors and the men took turns watching at the portholes of the stock 2 CONC ade with rifles in hand. The ladders were inside which gave them some hopes of safety. The In 2 CONC dians pow-wowed, jesticulated, and cast longing eyes at the inclosure untill sundown, then al 2 CONC l took one direction and the glade was soon cleared. What a breath of freedom filled each hea 2 CONC rt! What rejoicing and giving thanks ishued from each manly heart! For their start at sundow 2 CONC n ment an all night march, they knew, for by this time they had learned much concerning India 2 CONC n tactics. It only ment they were going home to their camp on the Trinity for reinforcements 2 CONC . But there was one nights rest at the fort. One meal was eaten in peace and quiet, and the 2 CONC y viewed another beautiful sunrise, and then held a consultation themselves. They sent some y 2 CONC oung men into Collin County for corn for their teames and the settlers would not let them hav 2 CONC e it. They said, "git away from there. The Indians will come back and kill you all." So ther 2 CONC e it was! 2 CONT I heard father say the Indians could not have run him away then, but if they could not get co 2 CONC rn, they must go. Their spring crops were all up, their cabbins built and wells dug. I have h 2 CONC eard men say who have seen it long since that the spring at the forks or junction of Little E 2 CONC lm and Big Elm where father's claim cornered was strong enough to turn a mill and a woman liv 2 CONC ing near Leahanon in Collin County told me there was a cotton gin there. 2 CONT Why did the convention that framed the last constitution of Texas give it against the Peters 2 CONC ' Colony claimants concerning their rights. At anytime after the Indians were driven from th 2 CONC e counties that were organized out of Robertson Land District they could have obtained certif 2 CONC ficates, but the new constitution cut them out. Well, but I learn there is talk of a new cons 2 CONC titution for Texas, for the purpose of changing some things that are unjust. Will they overlo 2 CONC ok this unjust decision again? 2 CONT Father had to go to take Mrs. Dr. Caulder home and he and his younger brother started first e 2 CONC arly in the spring. Mrs. Caulder was the widow of the man killed at Johnathan Allen's place 2 CONC , and was left out there without kith or kin, among strangers in a strange and dangerous plac 2 CONC e. Her home was in the Cherokee nation, and this was her only way to get back at that time. M 2 CONC ost of the other men stayed till in May. When they left, their corn was knee high and prospec 2 CONC ts were promising. 2 CONT Father was taken very sick after reaching home and was never a well man again, though he ha 2 CONC d till in the year 1861 improved his place in Fannin County by hireing the hardest work done 2 CONC . But to go back. 2 CONT When father moved to his last place in Arkansas near Van Buren, he was told he had a bad neig 2 CONC hbor in the person of one Smith, but he was settling such a good place he(re) and getting suc 2 CONC h a bargain in the land that he let the warning pass unheeded. Being a very peaceable man him 2 CONC self, he had not much fears of others. So he settled there in about two miles of the Indian T 2 CONC erritory. The line, it was said, was crossed back and forth by outlaws; one doing bad deeds o 2 CONC n one side of it escaping to the other side to evade the laws that did not suit them in som 2 CONC e instances. People murdered or robbed and it would be laid on Indians, and so forth. 2 CONT But father went on and settled near, quite near the "bad neighbor", moved his wife and two ch 2 CONC ildren, the collered woman and her two children, all, into a one room log cabbin for the whit 2 CONC es, and a one room log cabbin, called the smoke house, for the blacks, aiming to keep on impr 2 CONC oving, when someone from Texas brought the call and fair offer of land in the then fast settl 2 CONC ing Republic. Then he left off improving, got one of his young brothers to stay with wife an 2 CONC d children and marshaled his band--and was gone. 2 CONT I have heard a woman who, with her father's family from Illinois, fell in with father and hi 2 CONC s comrades when they reached the banks of Red River. No one lived there, and there was no 2 CONC t a ferry boat to be seen, only several dug out canoos and there was no prospects of them bei 2 CONC ng able to cross over with all those wagons and teams. She saw the whole crowd stood awed t 2 CONC o silence. It was about noon, and some preparations were made for dinner, everyone's wits a 2 CONC t work. What shall we do? came from different directions among the crowd. This woman was Mrs 2 CONC . Dr. Rogers, who lived a few miles from us in old Fannin County and was there some years aft 2 CONC er I left there. She was only a young girl when this company met at those swolen banks. She s 2 CONC aid it came into her head that they might unload, and lash two canoos together and roll the w 2 CONC agons a wheel (or a side) in a boat and then the teams, and then the goods. This was done an 2 CONC d the tedious work took the crowd til night to get on Texas soil. But they were happy, and ca 2 CONC mped there till day. 2 CONT As before mentioned, father was sick all summer and, was never well again, but sometime tha 2 CONC t second spring, after he reached home the sad, and diabolical plot and murder of lawyer Camp 2 CONC bell took place near our home, though two families lived nearer than we did. It was only 1/ 2 CONC 2 mile of our house and father and mother heard the gun fire that killed or partly killed him 2 CONC , for he was knocked from his horse with a rock; and our collered women saw the neighbor lead 2 CONC ing his horse with the saddle and saddle pockets on round the back of our field up into a mou 2 CONC ntain, where the tracks were traced and the things found next day (in a cave), and the hors 2 CONC e trailed around the other side of our house where he met father and mother on Sunday evenin 2 CONC g as they walked to a neighbor's house. There had been a hard struggle between the man and hi 2 CONC s assailant, but he was found dead and his body wedged under a tree root in the bank of the c 2 CONC reek. His money was all gone but his costly watch being engraved was left on his person. He w 2 CONC as in that country collecting money for the eastern merchants and the plotters knew the hou 2 CONC r he started. He was going home on horseback, but had mailed money to his employers, which th 2 CONC e plotters also got. The whole thing would read like a "tale that is told" if I should writ 2 CONC e it all as my father and mother told it to me. How a young lady was sent with a man and woma 2 CONC n who were going back east and were suspicioned. How she detected the money when the man an 2 CONC d woman asked her to let them have the room a little while at Cincinnatti and she peeped thro 2 CONC ugh the key hole and saw the woman take the money out that was stitched in the false lining o 2 CONC f her corset and give it to her husband and watched him leave the house from some other angle 2 CONC , then how she went bravely to the landlord of the hotel and begging his protection, told hi 2 CONC m the whole story, gave him the number of the bills, which she had with her, the amount and a 2 CONC ll. How the man was followed by the officers out in the city of Cincinnatti where he was pass 2 CONC ing off the money and was brought back in chains in less than three hours after leaving the h 2 CONC otel, to face his accuser with his awed wife. I say it reads like a tale, but has nothing t 2 CONC o do with the history of Texas, so I desist, and leave that subject. 2 CONT But father stayed till after the trial, though the jury would not take the collered woman's e 2 CONC vidence because she was a negro. 2 CONT After all of this I was in my mothers arms as she was returning from a visit to a sick neighb 2 CONC or, when a masked man by the roadside ordered her to stop and light off her horse, which sh 2 CONC e refused to do, saying I know you sir. He threw mud all over her and the horse, and myself b 2 CONC esides. 2 CONT That fall the Ross party and the Ridge party in the Territory had one of their big rackets an 2 CONC d the Ridge party were driven out. Some of them came over the line and bought father's plac 2 CONC e and he once more made ready to come to Texas. He collected some sixty head of cattle whic 2 CONC h mother and a young cousin of his named James Morrow, and a large light collered, spotted do 2 CONC g drove all the way to Texas. What for? to have them all die the next spring with Spanish fev 2 CONC er, except a pink two year old heiffer from which to start another heard. 2 CONT I remember when we reached our destination though only one year old. Then all is blank agai 2 CONC n till grandpa Cox came with the youngest of fathers sisters, and the negroes. I had missed m 2 CONC y nurse girl, Tempy, so much since leaving her behind that I was overjoyed, and she found m 2 CONC e before she stopped to speak to anyone else. Then all is blank again till we moved into ou 2 CONC r new house. 2 CONT The Indians had full possession of their claimes on the frontier then, and his brother whom h 2 CONC e left in Texas two years before had married and settled in Fannin County. As papa could no 2 CONC t go to his claim, he stopped there, and his brother gave him a claim he had there and he bou 2 CONC ght a cirtifficate and laid it on that 320 acre tract. 2 CONT Papa built a low double long cabbin with a wide entry between the rooms, and when one room an 2 CONC d the entry was covered, and a stick chimmney built as high as the mantle place, we moved in 2 CONC . Father spent the first day working on the fireplace, filling it in with rock and black mud 2 CONC , but the next day a genuine Texas norther was up and to be able to work on the upper part o 2 CONC f the chimney a tent cloth was stretched across the north side of the entry and a fire made o 2 CONC n the ground in the center of the floor, and there the cooking was done. Mother placed two ch 2 CONC airs side by side, spread a blanket over them and sat me and my older sister on them and dre 2 CONC w the blanket around us and we sat there most of the day, our feet close enough to the fire t 2 CONC o keep them warm. She drew her spinning wheel upon another side and went to spinning wool rol 2 CONC ls. The collered woman did the cooking. By and by the wind rose higher and it began to slee 2 CONC t and papa began to pitty poor old Prince, the sick horse, then mother sat her wheel aside an 2 CONC d Prince was tied in one corner under the same shelter. The next day we had fire in the firep 2 CONC lace and papa put in sleepers for a floor. m We climed over the sleeper a day or two, then so 2 CONC me men came with puncheons and put in a floor, and soon papa made some bed scaffolds, cut ou 2 CONC t a window and put up a mantle, which held all of mama's dishes for sometime. 2 CONT By the next winter, the other room was covered over. The roofs were made of rived out four fo 2 CONC ot boards, held on with slats fastened to the laths with woden pins. Nails were so costly, th 2 CONC ey were used only for fastening boards inside over the openings between logs and so forth. Ch 2 CONC incks were put in at the outside and the little openings filled with morter made of clay. 2 CONT When the other room was made warm mother put down a carpet, on the bare ground and we boarde 2 CONC d the schoolteacher part of the time. He stayed around with the patrons. I don't think anyon 2 CONC e charged him board, they were too glad to have him there. His name was William Cowden. He wa 2 CONC s on his way home from the Mexican war, had been mustered out at San Antonio and was trying t 2 CONC o make his way through Texas as best he could, on to Kentucky, I think where he had friends 2 CONC . When he came I heard him tell that the war was over, and about some of the battles and tha 2 CONC t was my first to hear about the Alamo and old Santa Anna, but I was too young to understand 2 CONC . Mother said he was very intelligent. He was very young, only 22 or 23. Had run out of mean 2 CONC s traveling and stopped to teach school to get money to pay his way farther on his way. Stran 2 CONC ge to tell, I saw an account of this man's death in the St Louis Republic some eight or ten y 2 CONC ears ago. The paper said "An old soldier and prominant citizen of Pana, Illinois". I clippe 2 CONC d the piece out and sent it to my sister, Margaret A. Cox Lewis of Litchfield Illinois. She h 2 CONC ad attended his school in the little log shantie, the first one taught in that community, an 2 CONC d how she did regret that she did not know he lived so close to her, only 50 miles. She sai 2 CONC d she would have visited him even in his last days and talked over old times in Texas. 2 CONT The place where the little schoolhouse stood is now about overspread with graves. Schoolhous 2 CONC e after schoolhouse was built about there on a 10 acre tract deeded by Thomas Lindsey for a s 2 CONC choolhouse and graveyard. 2 CONT I remember when there was only one grave there. There was an old lady berred there next Mrs 2 CONC . McMinamy. Herse was the first funeral I remember of attending. I did not understand death a 2 CONC nd when I saw that coffin and was told about the cold, still and stiff body within my feeling 2 CONC s could not be discribed. The two graves were near a large bois d'arc tree. 2 CONT I lived on the place my father settled near there 45 years and got most of my education there 2 CONC . We had some good teachers too and some that were not good. And the old grave yard kept fill 2 CONC ing and filling with the remains of our old neighbors. Then along came the iron horse and bui 2 CONC lt up a town close to the cemetery, which town, Randolph, kept filling with strangers and ol 2 CONC d residents kept learning and dying till last summer I visited the graveyard only, for I wa 2 CONC s told I could find no friends that I knew there, and the old house that I and my brothers an 2 CONC d sisters were raised up in was gone and replaced by another. I was in an automobile as I pas 2 CONC sed the eastern end of the old field and looked across to where a high ridge yet not in culti 2 CONC vation loomed up on top of which stood papa's old Pilot tree in years ago and cast my eyes ov 2 CONC er the spot where the little double log cabbin that was our first habitation in Texas, and th 2 CONC ought of the big double elm tree in front of the entry all long gone. I did not drop a tear 2 CONC . The fence and road over which I passed and the old gate even were in the same place. The ga 2 CONC te posts looked to be the same, but the fence was of wire, whereas it was once of slipprey el 2 CONC m poles, next of rails, next bois d'arc pickets. So I saw the only natural looking side of m 2 CONC y old home, and I felt just as I often have when I was dreaming and seemed to be flying. Th 2 CONC e automobile seemed to have wings, and the view soon passed. It is just as well. 2 CONT At the cemetery I could hardly find my father's and mother's graves. The silent and lone cit 2 CONC y has spread so since I left there 22 years ago, but their modest white mansions of stone wer 2 CONC e finally reached and behold niglect was visable everywhere. The graves of my dead was overgr 2 CONC own with weeds and so were many others.
