Frank Norman Broach, Sr.

Notes:

Robert Cecil McDaniel, in his autobiography, wrote that his Broach grandparents owned a boarding house located near the railroad depot in Crawford. His grandfather had a state license to practice law, but McDaniel didn't believe he ever followed the legal profession. He may have published a weekly newspaper in Crawford, and before the Model T days, he owned a livery stable. McDaniel's impression was that his grandfather was more of a "dreamer" than a "doer" and that his grandmother probably made the living.

Notes:

In his autobiography, Robert Cecil McDaniel wrote that his mother was one of the teachers at Six Mile School, and that she taught in the country schools in and around Six Mile for fifteen years, her last assignment being at a one-teacher school called "Goat Town." During her lifetime she tutored several young people to help them pass the state examination and begin their own teaching careers. She brought 25 or 30 books with her to Sabine County after her marriage in 1907, and they were sometimes used as a public library as most of the other families had nothing more to read than a Bible.

Robert Cecil McDaniel

Sabine County has been the home of his ancestors since 1850 when Cecil's great grandfather settled in the community later to be known as Fairdale in the Southeastern part of Sabine County, Texas.

He entered the United States Army on May 5, 1941 and retired from service after having served in both World War II and the Korean Conflict.

After retiring from the military, Cecil and his wife, Loye Winona White McDaniel, returned to Sabine County.

To his family, he will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather, and also as an artist, poet and historian of Sabine County.

Dwight Patrick McDaniel

Dwight Patrick McDaniel died on the 9th day of February, 2006 at the age of 55 in Houston, Texas. Dwight was born on June 10, 1950 at Brooke Army Hospital at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. As a son of an army officer, Dwight lived on different army bases throughout his childhood including Quarry Heights in the Panama Canal Zone and Fort Myer in Washington, D.C. After graduating from Lutcher Stark High School in Orange, Texas in 1968, Dwight attended Baylor University from 1968-69 and The University of Hawaii from 1969-70 before traveling extensively in the South Sea Islands. As part of his oceanography studies at the University of Hawaii, Dwight worked on a research ship in his Spring semester that journeyed from Hawaii to New Guinea. At the end of this voyage, Dwight remained in New Guinea and spent over three years living and working in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the Fiji Islands. It was during this time that he developed a love for mountain climbing and hiking, and worked briefly as an instructor and guide. In 1971, Dwight returned to the United States, worked for Temple Industries, Pineland, and then attended The University of Texas at Austin. Dwight's love for the outdoors and mountaineering took him to Banff, Alberta, Canada in the Spring of 1976 where he met his future wife, Patricia Ann Tweten of Leader, Saskatchewan, Canada. Dwight and Pat were married two years later on June 29, 1978 in Missoula, Montana where Dwight was attending The University of Montana. Dwight graduated from The University of Montana with a journalism degree in 1979. After graduation, he worked as a reporter for a newspaper in Lufkin, and later, for a bank in Cushing, Texas. In 1985, Dwight earned his Juris Doctorate degree from Texas Southern University, Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston. Dwight practiced law in Longview, Texas with his brother, Stephen White McDaniel, from 1985-90. In 1990, Dwight moved to Hemphill, Texas where he established a private law practice, served as Sabine County Attorney for a number of years, and with his brother, built a computerized title company, Toledo Bend Title. In addition to mountaineering and hiking, Dwight was interested in history and read extensively on the American Civil War. He also authored numerous short stories and a novel, and maintained a diary to his son, Harper Longstreet McDaniel, from Harper's birth until he was eight years old. Dwight Patrick McDaniel is survived by his wife, Patricia Ann Tweten McDaniel; his son, Harper Longstreet McDaniel; brother, Stephen White McDaniel; sister-in-law, Marcia Sue Burlison McDaniel; and niece, Erin Colleen McDaniel. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Cecil McDaniel and Loye Winona White McDaniel; and his nephew Stephen White McDaniel, II. He will be remembered as an adventurer, scholar, and mountaineer. Dwight was by birth and nature a kind and generous husband, father, son, brother and uncle who will be truly missed by his family and all who knew him. Visitation will be from 4:00-9:00pm Sunday evening, February 12, 2006, at Starr Funeral Home, Hemphill, Texas.
