Referred to by his friends as "Long Charlie", he was vitally interested in the growth and economy of Sabine County. He was a merchant, farmer and owned a sawmill. His interest in the growth of Sabine County was such that he personally hired a geologist to come from Pennsylvania to test for oil, gas and other minerals. He hired politicians to attend and speak at his annual July 4th picnics, which were held at his old home in Isla. These picnics were open to the public and were always well attended. His aim in thi was to improve the knowledge and friendship between the politicians and the people they represented. Charles lost heavily in the depression, and also in the Texas Land Bank, so much in fact, that on Feb. 9, 1930, he suffered a stroke, from which he died two days later. He was buried at the old Vickers Cemetery. His beloved Wife, Kate...was buried beside her husband. their children were also buried in the same cemetery except when stated otherwise. (White and Toole, p 38).

The only possession we (the family) have of Harrision Vickers, Jr. and his son, Charles Harris Vickers, is a piece of gold. This money was given to Charles by his father when he was seven years old, in exchange for a 'prize pig' of which Charles was overly fond, and more than a little reluctant to part with. He was so grieved over the exchange that he never spent the money, and when my mother, Hazel, was seven years of age, he gave her this little gold piece" writes Mrs. R.G. Sherrod, a member of the JFG Chapeter of the DRT. (White and Toole, p 39)

Mrs. Mollie Mason Jones Wright

Mrs. Mollie Wright celebrated her 98th birthday on May 2, 1863, with members of the family present. Last year there was a big celebration with friends and neighbors from far and near wishing her well. This celebration was quiet because of her failing health. A year ago Aunt Molly, as practically everyone calls her, was in excellent health, able to do light housework, and attended church regularly. Now she is still mentally alert, still able to get around and still enjoys having company, but her steps are a wee bit feebler. Sometimes she does not feel quite like attending services and housework is a little bit beyond her capabilities. Her eyesight is failing and when told that her photograph was good, she said, "I wish I could see that."

From CARTER CEMETERY, Sabine Parish, LA. Transcription

http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/sabine/cemeteries/carter.txt

This cemetery is located north of Hwy 6 just east of the Pendleton Bridge. From the bridge go about 1 mile to Merritt Mtn. Road. Turn north and follow the road to the end. From this point you will have to climb the hill. The cemetery is about 200 yds. west of where the fire tower used to stand.

Most of these graves were marked with wooden plaques which have since faded away, but at the time transcribed were still readable. Lily Thurman knew where they were buried.
