Notes:

"In the late 19-teens and early 1920's Rush Chambers operated the last exclusive meat market in a building in the middle of the block on the east side of the courthouse square between the county jail building and Harrision Street, what is now in the parking area. That building was the last privately owned property on the courthouse square. It was torn down before the present courthouse was built in 1927. Chambers' meat market delivered meat to the homes in town in the late 19-teens. Ed Buckalew, as a youth, delivered packages by horseback to the homes. Ed Buckalew learned the butcher trade from Chambers and pursued that trade for many years and accumulated a sizable store." From the SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE, Thursday, January 5, 2006, p. 1, "Story of Burks Closure Brings Memories From the Past" by Arlan Hays.

At the time he registered for the Draft during the First World War he was a resident of San Augustine, married, and working as a stock farmer. He was of medium heighth and build, with blue eyes.

Notes:

Caryn Getsinger was told by Leo Chambers that Robert was raised by his Uncle and Aunt, John and Mary Chambers, though he kept his birth name.

Notes:

Caryn Getsinger reports that, according to her sister Pauline, Drusilla was "slow in school," Pauline reported, however, that Drusilla "did beautiful hand work" and was a very good cook. Drusilla gave birth to a baby girl named Norma in 1938, but apparently refused to sign the adoption papers. She may have been forced to give up the baby anyway.

Notes:

Owned and operated a clothing store for children.

Pauline married Olton Lee Bell about 1934. Olton was born on 17 May 1908 in San Angelo, Tom Green County, Texas; died on 14 Feb 1978 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Caryn Getsinger reports that he changed his name to Allen Lister so he could be called Allen in the Navy. He died aboard the USS Piedmont. He was married to an Ethel Brown(?), who left her baby with Pauline as she couldn't raise the child herself. The child, Betty Jane was raised by her Uncle James Johnson in West Park, New York.

Notes:

(Research):At the time of the 1910 census, Ida Chambers Williams indicated she was the mother of 5 children in total, only four of whom were still living. Based on this response, and that fact that these were the only adult Williams buried at New Hope near Jack A. Williams, it is assumed he is the child of Ida's that died young.
