Notes:

Per OLDTIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS "he was known as the Daniel Boone of his day, never tiring of being in the woods. He hunted wild game at every opportunity, and never was his larder empty of venison, turkey and squirrel. A nephew, A.V. White recalls seeing John and his brother-in-law, George Morris, coming home with two large turkey gobblers, with their feet tied together and a pole between their legs and their heads dragging.

He loves to tell tall tales and was known as somewhat of a joker. He tells of the time his uncle, Jack White, shot a deer and thinking it was dead, ran up and grabbed it by the horns. The deer came up stomping and kicking Jack with its sharp hoofs. "Jacks feet were in pretty bad condition" chuckled John "but he was always getting in trouble. Once he caught a fawn and tied it to a tree with his shirt. When Jack got ready to go home home, it had broken loose and fled, taking Jack's shirt along." A dead pan joker, John White had such a reputation for tall tales that Andrew Lott told a newcomer Tom Pulliam, who started to repeat something John said, "anyone repeating anything John White says has to shell a a half a bushel of peanuts. Once when someone was bragging about his corn harvest, Johh said "Oh that's nothing. I had to haul half of mine into have room to windrow the rest."

The Whites have lived all their married life on their farm in the Pinehill community where they raised their children and where they now have retired in their pleasant little house surrounded by tall pines and beautiful scenery.

There are 23 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren (circa 1964).

Mr. McDaniel died September 12, 2012 at the age of 98.

Clement McDaniel, known to many as "Mac", was born in Bayou, Texas on November 3, 1913, the son of Nolan Earnest McDaniel and wife Ella Walker McDaniel. In 1933, he married Ardell Brittain, the daughter of Docia Latham Brittain Easley and Penn Brittain. They were married 73 years and had a strong, lifelong love affair, from which came five children. His beloved wife preceded him, as did two daughters, Ether Murl (Merrill) Perry and Joyce McDaniel. Surviving children and spouses are: Barbara and Wilbur Smith of Gainesville, Texas, Carlin and Mary Ann McDaniel of Hemphill, Texas, and Glen and Dee McDaniel of Lufkin, Texas.

Mr. "Mac" was proud of his family, which he considered the most important thing in his life. His Christian faith and affiliation with the Baptist Church since 1946 were also important to him, guiding him through many trials and tribulations in life.
When he was 15, "Mac" left his cocoon in East Texas and joined the Citizens' Military Training Camp, where he served for four summers, earning an officer's commission in the United States Army. He went on to become what would now be called a disc jockey at Radio Station KRIC in Beaumont. In 1941, he began his career as an air traffic controller. He was very proud of his work and remembered well the many times he helped the famous and not so famous, one of the famous being then Vice-President Lyndon Johnson, as he would fly into and out of the Austin airport.

Mr. McDaniel was an avid and expert gardener, and many people were the recipients of his garden produce. He loved people, and spent a lifetime giving to others. He will be sorely missed by many.

Obituary

Zuda Lee McDaniel Tinsley 95, after a gracious journey down this last difficult portion of life's path, Zuda died on April 30, 2016 just hours after the birth of a new baby girl in the family.

Zuda was born in Yellowpine on August 14, 1920. After high school, she rode the train alone to the California/Oregon border to join her newly wedded husband, Edgar Tinsley. During their 57 years of marriage, they had two daughters.

Zuda worked for the school district in Redding, California as the manager of food services. She retired prematurely from those responsibilities to join Edgar in Alaska to manage a remote fishing lodge for many summers. Those were halcyon days for the both of them.

Zuda was preceded in death by her husband Edgar and their daughter, Sharon. She leaves her daughter, Carolyn and four beloved grandchildren, Adam, Allison, Kirsten, and Justin and their loved ones.

Son-in-law, Reverend Richard Pearson will conduct services at the graveside at Oak Hill Cemetery. Graveside will be at 2:00PM, May 7, 2016, in the Oakhill Cemetery. To all who claim a friendship or kinship, a heartfelt thanks for enriching her life.

Notes:

Neva White Alexander died peacefully on Thursday, January 6, 2022 surrounded by those who loved her dearly. She battled myriad health issues for many years, demonstrating enormous courage and will to live. She was born December 10, 1940 in the piney woods of East Texas to Bill & Abilene White. She was the only girl, sandwiched between two brothers, Kenneth & Benny. Oldest brother, Don, died as an infant during the great Depression before her birth. She was a beloved sister to both her brothers and the apple of her daddy's eye.

She married very young, at age 15 to a young sailor boy from Hemphill who had just returned from a tour of duty in Korea. She and Robert Earl Reeves had two daughters together. Their oldest daughter, Lynn, was born just two months after Neva turned 17. In spite of being a young wife and mother, she graduated top of her class from Bronson High School in 1958. Second daughter, Les, followed in the fall of 1961. Neva and Robert Earl divorced in 1963. She worked for the Starr Family in Hemphill and for Sabine County in the County Clerk's office in the 50's & 60's. She later went to work for the State of Texas doing lab work for brucellosis testing on cattle where she met a rugged cowboy named Harlan Alexander. They were married on their way to a rodeo in August of 1968. Harlan brought two daughters into the marriage, Tammy & Connie. Together, Harlan and Neva had a baby girl who was stillborn in April of 1970. They continued to work for the State of Texas testing cattle for a couple years but the relocating from county to county was hard on family life so after a stint in Crockett and then Livingston, they moved to Jasper and settled in 1970 where she lived for the remainder of her life. In 1973, another baby girl, Leah was born. Their "yours, mine & ours" family was complete with 5 daughters.

Neva worked for Sandy Roane Insurance and then for many years at the Jasper County Courthouse ? in the County Tax Assessor's office and later as secretary to the County Judge.

Her greatest joy in life came from being Gran. She was Gran to many, many young people but the official grandchildren in her life were Cody & Craig Richardson, Ross & Ryan Dickerson, Alexis Nasche, Hannah Hensarling, Jasi Shaw Worden, and Lane & Bret Shaw. Her life was surely extended by the birth of great grandson Beau Crofford Worden last March.

Neva was plagued with serious health issues for much of her adult life. She suffered for many years from chronic pain caused by scoliosis and many unsuccessful back surgeries. Additionally, she lived with a life-threatening blood clotting disorder, suffered a stroke in her mid-40's, had ovarian cancer, colon cancer before being diagnosed with lung and breast cancer in the Fall of 2018. At the time she was told to expect to live 6 months to a year. She lived 3 ? more years. Life was never easy for Neva but she was a trooper.

Neva had beautiful handwriting; folded clothes neatly and precisely; made her bed every day; was a stickler for tidiness; loved Diet Cokes, puzzles, reading and watching food shows on TV. In her final years, she loved her ipad where Facebook gave her a window to the world and allowed her to be in community with many friends. Her happiest hours were spent sitting in the bleachers at youth rodeos watching Jasi, Lane and Bret compete.

She was predeceased by her family of origin ? her daddy & mother, brothers, infant daughter Tony Deneva and grandson Ryan Hunter Dickerson. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Harlan Alexander, daughters Lynn Reeves Dickerson (Ron), Leslie Reeves Nasche (Pam Gentry), Leah Alexander Shaw (Jason), step daughters Tammy Alexander Hensarling (Jimmy) and Connie Alexander Richardson (Mike); 7 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

The family wishes to thank Harbor House Hospice and especially Kenzi, Marci and Lori for their excellent loving care.

Visitation will be Saturday, January 8, from 5pm -8pm at Stringer Funeral Home with services following on Sunday, January 9 at 2pm. Graveside following at Evergreen Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Ryan Dickerson Scholarship fund at Stanislaus Community Foundation, 100 Sycamore Suite 200, Modesto, CA 95354 or online at scf.iphiview.com.
