Myrtle Springs receives marker

An official Texas Historic Cemetery Marker was dedicated April 28, at Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery. The day was also the cemetery's annual homecoming......

The newly placed marker reads:
GENEVA MYRTLE SPRINGS CEMETERY

Situated North of the small, rural community of Geneva, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery serves as the primary resting place for pioneers, settlers of the area, and their descendants. Originally granted to Juan Ignatino Pifermo in 1794, the town of Geneva grew in the 1820s when pioneers began to settle there from the east. Geneva was first known as Shawnee village and later as Jimtown, after two early settlers of the are, Jim Halbert and Jim Willis. Originally surveyed for Daniel F. Renfro in 1838, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery is comprised of land granted by Levi T. ALLEN in 1879 for use as a church and cemetery. The Geneva Baptist Church was first located on the present day cemetery site, but later moved south of the area. In addition, a school was once located near the cemtery near Myrtle Springs, organized by William Thomas Arnold.

The general landscaping of the cemetery is traditional with brick, marble, sandstone, grantie, wood, and metal grave markers. The first marked grave is that of William J. JONE from 1888, but Bible records indicate that there were earlier unmarked graves, including that of Wiley William CROW (1845-1877). Among the many pioneer families interred at this cemetery, there are veterans of the Civil War, including Wiley CROW, Seth Marion LAYFIELD (1833-1906), and James T. MEADOR (1845-1933), as well as veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Iraq War. Burials for members of the fraternal organizations such as Woodmen of the World are present. Today, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery Association maintains and cares for the cemtery, while also serving the community of Geneva. Historic Texas Cemetery -2010.

Notes:

"They made their home in Hemphill where he was engaged in the lumber business" (White and Toole)

A copy of his actual Texas Death Certificate can be viewed online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976. He was shown as a log contractor, and lifelong resident of Sabine County. He was widowed, and shown as the son of Henry Clay Maund and Patty Emma Goodloe. The informant was Thelma Maund Felts.

Harry married Anna Eltona Bennett on 13 Nov 1906. Anna (daughter of Adam Jackson "Tony" Bennett, Jr and Nancy Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jones) was born on 15 Jun 1888 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 9 Aug 1929 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Also the parents of Harry Maund? (Source: 2004 obituary of Pattie Lillian Cordray). Harry not located on the 1920 or 1930 census. Perhaps he died young? The 1910 census shows that Annie was the mother of two children, only one of them still living, daughter Pattie.

Notes:

White and Toole refer to him as Daniel Cordray, however on the 1870 Sabine County census he is listed as David, but as Daniel in 1880. His first wife died in 1878 (according to her headstone at the Cordray Cemetery), and he is listed with his second wife, Martha, age 44, born ca 1836 in Alabama, at the time of the 1880 census.

Could he have married third Dollie Wilson, sometime prior to 1884?

Dollie Cordray, a widow, age 33, can be found in the 1900 Sabine County, Texas Census with three minor children. The Texas Death certificate of the eldest son of the widowed Dollie Wilson Cordray, namely Cleveland Cordray, lists his father as Dan Cordray. Census records for the children show that their father was born in Texas, however, versus Georgia.

This does not appear likely, as at the time of the 1900 Sabine County, Texas census, Daniel and his second wife, Martha appear together.

Additionally, his widow, Mrs. Martha Cordray applied for a Civil War pension as the widow of D. C. Cordray on 8 May 1915 in Sabine County. She indicated that she married him on 10 Oct 1878 in Sabine County. Martha further indicated she was age 82, and was born in Dallas County, Alabama. having resided in Texas for 42 years. Her late husband, Daniel C. Cordray, was shown as dying on 30 Aug 1905. He was shown to have served the C.S.A. in the state of Georgia, for a period of five months, being discharged in April 1865. He was in the Infantry, Company A, Regiment 29.

On the Williams-McNaughten Tree at Ancestry.com, he is shown as the Uncle of Mary Emma Cordray McGown (1885-1973), her father John Lawrence Cordray also being a son of Jonathan Cordray and Elizabeth Tomlinson. He is likely related to her in some other fashion, perhaps a cousin, as Georgia Marriage records on Ancestry.com show that Elizabeth Tomlinson and Jonathan Cordray were not married until 2 Apr 1846 in Muscogee County, Georgia, eight years after Daniel was born. DM Veitch instead shows him as a son of Daniel and Celia Cordray of Muscogee County, Georgia. Veitch shows that his second wife was Martha Williams Honeycutt, a widow, no issue by Daniel.

Notes:

The daughter of Hillery Judge Williams.

Notes:

In a family history prepared by his niece, Katherine Allen Tirado, he was instead shown as being born on April 21, 1842 in Albany, Georgia.

White and Toole show him as a son of Rev. William Maund. "The Maund brothers, Hardie, Wm, and Matt, came to America and also rec'd Crown Grants of land in Va. Rev. Wm. Maund (the son of William) and his wife Angelina moved to Alabama then to Jasper County, Texas. He organized and was pastor of the first Baptist Church in Jasper."

They further note that he "Became active in politics and served Sabine County in the State Legislature for a number of years. He was Sabine County Judge for 17 years and postmaster of Sabinetown for 10 years."

In her annontated transcription of the Hemphill City Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary shows, in error, that he was a son of William L. and Susan J. Maund. William L. Maund was actually his older half brother, and Susan Josephine Cowart Maund his sister-in-law.

On his FindAGrave memorial, created by A. Liem, Henry Clay Maund is shown as a "Son of Rev. William W Maund and Caroline Kirksey [nee Young]. Half-brother of William Lott Maund, first Mayor of Center, Shelby Co, Texas." This corresponds with census records.

"Miss Pattie" as she was fondly called lived a life of love and service exemplifying the life of our Lord. "Who went about doing good, ministering to the sick and needy---obeying the injunctions of scripture where we are told, that pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in time of their afflictions and to keep ones self unspotted from the world and her entire life was lived in harmony with this scripture and its teachings. All her life was thusly lived in Sabine County.

The above named relatives and a host of life long friends mourn her going.
"Servant of God, well done, Thy glorious warfare is past, The battle is fought, the victory won ___And thou are crowned at last."

The funeral was conducted from the First Methodist Church, the pastor officiating. Interment was made in the Hemphill cemetery.

Sons and sons-in-law were pallbearers. Grand daughters---Grace, Thelma and Wilhemina Maund and Gladys Iles were flower girls.
