Sophronia Pauline White

Notes:

Sophronia was born during an auspicious month. On November 13, 1833, between midnight and dawn, thousands of meteors showered the sky over North America. To the native peoples of the land, it appeared that the stars were falling out of the heavens. Some thought it was the judgment day. Others called it "The Night the Stars Fell".

A young girl who was a slave at the time of the event said "Somebody in the quarters started yellin' in the middle of the night to come out and to look up at the sky. We went outside and there they was a fallin' everywhere! Big stars coming down real close to the groun' and just before they hit the ground they would burn up! We was all scared. Some O'the folks was screamin' and some was prayin' we all made so much noise, the white folk came out to see what was happenin'. They looked up and then they got scared too."

The celestial phenomenon called "the most impressive and awesome display ever recorded" was, in fact, the Leonids meteor shower seen in one of its most impressive years. Viewers witnessed 50,000 to 150,000 meteors per hour, only equaled by the November 17, 1966 display, when the Leonid shower brought 150,000 meteors per hour. Debris from the comet Temple-Tuttle that orbits the sun every 33 years causes the shower.

She was born and raised in Amite County, Mississippi, and can be found on the 1850 census with her parents. Sometime after that, the family moved to Sabine County, Texas.

After her husband's death, she lived with her oldest son, William Hardy Travis. She can be found living with he and his wife, Grace Ener, at the time of the 1900 and 1910 Sabine County census.

Sophronia married James Cannon Travis on 5 Dec 1850 in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. James (son of William Harrison Travis and Nancy B. Hurst) was born about 1826 in Amite County, Mississippi; died on 20 Apr 1897 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.

Notes:

According to the MINUTES 1858-1890 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HEMPHILL, TEXAS, Theodosia Travis was received by experience and baptized by Minister J.J. Rountree on July 26, 1879.

Elder Rountree apparently had more than Bible Study on his mind. In April, 1883, he was investigated for, and found guilty of "gross unchristian conduct. Guilty of Seduction and adultery...all the churches of which Eld. Rountree was Pastor of to be notified of the meeting and invited to send deligates to said meeting to participate inthe investigation and deliberations...Resolved further that this Church withdraw fellowship from Theodosia Travis for gross unchristian conduct." The charges against Rountree were sustained and fellowship was withdrawn from him in June 1883. No mention is made of the charges against Theodosia.

(Note: These references might instead be to Theodosia's older cousin, also named Theodosia Travis, the daughter of R.H. and Ruth (White) Travis who was born in 1858. As is appears that the R.H. and Ruth Travis family moved from Sabine County prior to 1880, they are most likely about this Theodosia).

Yvonne Parish Kattawar--Family Researcher (470 Piney Point, Sour Lake, TX 77659) reports that Theodosia married Milton Anthony.

Notes:

Called "Mausa."

Notes:

Larry Crocker shows that she married (1) Elbert Dean SIMMONS, and they were the parents of Marvin Dean (b. 4 Aug 1936 in Newton County) and Betty Jean SIMMONS (b. 14 Sep 1939); (2) Joseph Johnson POLLARD, Jr., and they were the parents of Carolyn Ann POLLARD (born 4 Dec 1947 in Pineland, Sabine County, Texas); and (3) John William COTTEN.

Mary "Alif" Cotten, by some, fondly remembered as "Puddin", went to be with Jesus on Sunday, November 15, 2015 at the age of one hundred, six months, and one day. She was born on May 14, 1915, in Sabine County to Frances Edward "Edna" Ener and James Anderson Clark.

Mom learned to sew at a very young age and this benefited her greatly throughout her life. She sewed for family, friends, and was a seamstress at a cleaners for part of her working career. Her nieces, Edna Earl and Francis , who grew up with her, shared that she not only made her own clothes but also made theirs as well. I as her youngest daughter always had pretty clothes, bed spreads and curtains, a beautiful wedding gown, and finally, children who always looked adorable in their clothes Grandma made them. This could have been the beginning of always doing for others. While attending and completing high school in Pineland, she enjoyed playing on the basketball team.

Mother lived in Beaumont for most of her adult years and held several jobs as she provided for her three children with support from the family who were always there for each other with love. While working at Montgomery Wards as a receiving clerk, she met and later married John William Cotten in 1954. They were married for thirty-two years before he passed on September 18, 1986. After his death, mother moved to Lumberton just down the street from me, her youngest daughter, where my family enjoyed many happy times and much love and support in sorrowful and difficult times. The legacy that began many years before with Grandma and Grandpa Clark, of family always helping one another, continued on. In her mid-eighties, she moved back to Beaumont living in two retirement homes and finally settling at Serenity Assisted Living where she resided till she went home peacefully.

In honor of my mother, I would like to share her testimony. Around sixty years ago, mother heard a sermon at Central Baptist regarding forgiveness. Even though she was Christian from a very young age, she often felt unworthy to serve in a leadership role in the Christian Community, however this sermon opened her eyes to the Lord's unconditional love and from that day forward, mother was able to forgive herself as well. She then sang in the church choir, became active in the WMU where she served as President for many years, and taught Sunday school classes well into her mid 80's. Upon moving into the various retirement homes and being no longer able to attend her home church services, she read her Bible daily and prayed for family and friends. For those of you who are here today, I truly believe you were in those fervent prayers. In lieu of a commemorative video, my sister and I beseech each of you to picture, remember and reflect on each special memory dear to your hearts. Part of those memories pictured are of mother's love for times spent at Grandpa Clark's, family reunions, holiday gatherings, and especially the many years our brother Marvin and his family from Tennessee spent Christmas's in our home filling it with memories that will always remain in our hearts.

Some of the happiest memories will be of the travels she made throughout the states and Europe with family and friends. Many of us who were close to Mom knew her love and passion for sitting around a table playing games such as Mexican Train, Chicken Foot, Go Fish, with the younger group, Wahoo, and most of all Skip-Bo, which led to her being affectionately known as the "Skip-Bo Queen".

May we honor a long life of one hundred years by carrying on the legacy she made for us which is to live out a strong faith in our Heavenly Father and always praying fervently for one another.

Notes:

Ernest ran for Mayor of San Augustine in 1995. He was defeated by Gertrude Lane, the first African American Mayor of that city.

The following paid political advertisement ran in the San Augustine Tribune prior to the election. (13 April 1995):

Some of you have asked "Who is Ernest Easley?" As of April 1, 1995 I have been a resident of San Augustine for eight years. During these eight years, I have been a volunteer worker with Care and Share serving as an interviewer and as president for the past two years.

Having 40 years of business experience and commited to a strong future of San Augustine, I will do my best to represent you as Mayor. My office will be open to you......

Since there are some of you I still do not know, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you something about myself. I was born March 2, 1927 in Hemphill and attended school in Hemphill, Yellowpine (two room school house), and Dallas. After graduation, I served almost two years in the U.S. Army - twelve months of this time in Italy.

After receiving an honorable discharge from the Army, I secured a position with a national finance corporation where I was employed for over 38 years; having worked in Houston, Beaumont, Harlingen, San Antonio, and Dallas. For several years I managed their bank in Dallas.

After retiring and selecting San Augustine as my new home, I cam out of retirement and was elected vice-president/manager of the First National Bank Branch in Broaddus where I served until April, 1989.

I have been married to the former Billie Sue SMITH of Center for 44 years. We have a daughter Patti Easley BOSWELL of DeSoto, Texas and a son Dr. Ernest Lee EASLEY of Odessa, Texas. Also, grandsons and two granddaughters.

After becoming a resident of San Augustine, I joined the First Baptist Church and became active in community affairs. For the past two years, I have served as your City Councilman, Place No. 1. I have served as Chairman of the Leadership Committee and Director of the Economic Development Council. Recently, I was elected Director of Tri-County Community Action, Inc. In my church I have served as church treasurer for seven years, Director of Adult 4 Sunday School Department, served as a member of the Pastor Search Committee, and a member of the Building Committee for our Christian Activities building.

In the December 19, 2002 San Augustine Tribune, p 15, an article was written updating friends on his health. He had been diagnosed with Acute Myleogenous Leukemia in January, and spent 29 days in Chemotherapy at M.D. Anderson, but had not gone into remission. His son, Earnest (sic) Lee Easley, had been pastor of Roswell Street Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia since February. Daughter Patti, and her husband Charles, had been in Hartsville, South Carolina where he was the pastor of the Lakeview Baptist Church.

His obituary (following) was in the March 7, 2007 Sabine County Reporter. A similar obituary was published in the March 8, 2007 issue of the San Augustine Tribune.

Polly was predeceased by her loving husband of 70 years, Joseph (Joe) Gerold Rhame, her parents Gay and Myrtle Easley, and an older sister, Julie Othell Solly. She is survived by a brother, Wilbern Easley of Nacogdoches, Texas. Polly will be lovingly remembered by her three daughters, SanDee Rhame Thompson of Highland Village, Sherra Rhame Van Trease and husband Garry of Highland Village, and Diane Rhame Thompson and husband Marvin of Palestine, Texas. She had nine grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren, as well as many, many nieces and nephews that she loved as her own.

Polly was born in Yellowpine, Texas on September 21, 1923. She graduated Hemphill High School in 1941, one year after her marriage (Joe signed her report card her senior year). They spent their early years in Houston and Deer Park, Texas, where Polly was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker, as well as a faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Deer Park, where she taught Sunday school for several years. She had several part time jobs, but always found time for her favorite hobbies, such as keeping an immaculate yard and growing beautiful flowers (She and Joe won "Yard of the Month" many times).

Other activities involved sewing, crocheting, needle point, and she was a prolific quilter. Her retirement years were spent in Nacogdoches, Texas, where she and her husband were also active in the First Baptist Church. She and Joe moved to Highland Village in 2000 and they became members of the First Baptist Church of Flower Mound. Polly was a fabulous cook and her made-from-scratch biscuits were renowned. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren knew her as "Granna" and "Great Granna," and she treasured each one, as they did her. A celebration of Polly's life will be held at the church of her childhood, Macedonia Baptist Church in Yellowpine, at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12, 2013.
