Malachi Morgan

Notes:

Kenneth Morgan reported that his grandfather, Thomas Marion Morgan, loved his "Uncle Mal" and spent much time in his household when he was growing up. He said Mal was a sleepwalker, and the boys tried to watch out for him at night to prevent him from getting hurt. Early one morning, Mal asked the boys to go with him to their field across the creek to bring a turning plow back to the garden. When they arrived at the field the plow was missing, and they began to study tracks closely in the plowed ground. They found Mal's barefoot tracks where he had picked up the plow and walked across the creek on a log. Arriving back at the garden near the house they found the plow. Mal remembered nothing about the trip in the moonlight.

RUBY L MURDY 20 Apr 1916 22 Nov 2001 (V) 75965 (PE) 75961 (Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches, TX) 460-01-3256 Texas

(Research):Mary Susan Walden Moore emailed, on August 7, 2008, that when her mother, Ruby Lee Morgan "graduated from Kirbyville High School, she was a brain, but there was no money for college in those dark days of 1934. So her Mother (Minnie) suggested that she write to her Uncle Roy, the President of Paris Junior College, and ask for assistance. He wrote back and said that she could attend PJC, but she would have to work on campus. She could live with him and his family if she would help her aunt do housework, and help with the children. Those jobs would pay her tuition, and her room and board. He also made it clear in the letter that even though he was her uncle, he would not help her with her homework...she would have to do it on her own. Also, she would have to come up with transportation to get to Paris. She found out that a one way ticket to Paris was 100 dollars. She went around to all of the businessmen in Kirbyville and stated her case, and asked for a loan. When she had nearly given up hope, she courageously went to one of the more prominent professional men in town and stated her case with great passion, I am sure, because my Mom wanted to go to school so badly. He said, "Girly, I have loaned money to other girls in this town, and they have never paid me back, because they always get married and forget that they owe me money." She promised that she would not be like those other girls...and he loaned her the money. She said that train ride was so sad for her, because she had never been away from home before, and only had a oneway ticket. Uncle Roy was true to his word, and he never helped her, even though he was also her French teacher. She made Phi Theta Kappa while she was at PJC. Her brother Julian, who was later killed in WWII, dug stumps for a dollar a day, and sent her some of his wages. After she graduated in 1936, she moved to Houston, because there was no more money for further studies. She lived with her Aunt Emily McLemore Wilkinson, and she met my Dad, Lewis Walden, at church. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, "but first I have to pay back the man in Kirbyville who loaned me 100 dollars to go to college."
And she did. She raised 3 kids, and went back to college in her forties, and earned her B.Ed. in Education when she was 49. Mom passed away in 2001."

Ruby married Lewis Mckinney Walden, Sr. before 1939. Lewis was born on 24 Jan 1915; died in Jul 1975 in Houston, Harris County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
