    Notes 
    • Mose Morgan was a Carpenter for Kirby Lumber Company. He first worked in the shop at Kirby's big mill in Call, then at their front near Jackson Hole in Buna, and next at the logging front on the east side of the Neches River in Jasper County, south of Sheffield's Ferry. To supplement his income, he had a small truck and took on moving jobs on nights and weekends. He lost his job with the Kirby Lumber company after the stock market crash in 1929. He survived on odd jobs, hewing cross-ties with a broad axe to pay the doctor's fees for his son's birth. He managed to make twenty dollars to pay for a shack on Hurricane Beach, clearing enough land for a pea patch and a few chickens. He and a brother-in-law, Wallace Olds, moved to Wharton for a while to pick cotton for a dollar a day, sending the money home to their families. After moving back to Jasper, he drove a school bus.
