2. | George Washington Conn (1.James1) was born on 18 Feb 1821 in Mississippi; died on 6 Feb 1888 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Charter member of the Gravel Hill Antioch Baptist Church, also gave land for the Church. His tombstone reads "Father Married To Mariah A. Mulford 19 Sept 1847, Kind father of love thou are gone to thy rest, Forever to bask in the joys of the blest." Kay Parker McCary shows him as a son of James CONN and Martha A. GIBSON.
He donated the property used to establish the Gravel Hill Cemetery. A deed to the property where the Church and cemetery are now located was given by Mr. George W. Conn, in August, 1875, but the Sabine County Court House burned in November and all records were destroyed, including the deed to the property. For some reason the deed was not refiled, but 97 years later, in 1972, a copy was found by a daughter-in-law looking through Mr. Conn's old trunk. Mrs. Allie Conn promptly filed the old deed.
The church was organized on January 3, 1876, under the direction of Elders J. S. Lambert and J. J. Roundtree. Thirteen other men and women went into the organization, including George Conn, John Anderson, J. S. White, Hosie Baldaree, Ann Mason, M. A. Conn, T. D. Burkhalter, John Deweese, L. S. Hoard, Mary E. White, Sophie H. Wallace, Mrs. C. A. Hoard, and C. Baldaree. In their preamble to organization, signed by each member, the church stated that they had "been regularly baptized on the profession of our faith"..."under the name of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Christ holding to the doctrine contained in the sacred Scriptures to be predicated on republican principles..." On May 18, 1991, the new sanctuary was dedicated. In July, 1997, the church became incorporated under the name Gravelhill Antioch Missionary Baptist Church to distinguish it from another church in the state with the name Antioch.

Obituary

Submitted to US Genweb Archives by Frederica Wyatt
Copy for these files courtesy of Martha Ann White, granddaughter
(Name of paper not given)
For the second time within a week death entered the Boyett home and
claimed Mrs. R. E. Boyett just three days after her beautiful little
granddaughter Bobby Louise Coon had died. Pneumonia was the cause of
the death of both. Mrs. Boyett was critically ill when little Bobby
Louise was called to her Heavenly Home. Mrs. Boyett died Thursday
afternoon, March 7 and the body was buried in the Junction cemetery
by the side of her little granddaughter late Friday afternoon, Rev.
R. Elmer Dunham, pastor of the Baptist Church officiating.
Mrs. R. E. Boyett was born in Sabine county on July 22, 1877, and
spent all her life in Texas. When 15 years of age she was married to
R. E. Boyett and to this union were born seven children--five daughters
and two sons. The surviving children are Mrs. L. H. Cordray, Lakeside;
Mrs. Clarence Holbert and Mrs. Jas. Nobles of Beaumont; Mrs. Willie
Coon and Miss Annie Laurie Boyett of Junction; A. P. Boyett, Corpus
Christie; and Ernest Boyett, Austin. Two sisters, Mrs. Abbie McGown
and Mrs. J. O. Boyett, both of Bronson and about 11 grandchildren and
4 great grandchildren besides many other relatives who also survive.
She moved to Junction four years ago to be with her son Ernest who
was employed here. During her residence here she made many close friends.
Early in life she was converted and united with the Baptist Church.
She lived a consecrated Christian life. Her life was a benediction to all
who knew her. She lived only 57 years but her life was one of service.
It was marked with deeds of kindness and cheer. She scattered flowers
and sunshine wherever she went. She loved her home, her children and her
friends and in her homegoing her children have lost a devoted mother,
her neighbors a true and faithful friend, and the community a loyal citizen.
It can be said of her that she was a woman of strong Christian character--
patient, loving and self-sacrificing.

In an article by Harry Noble about "Honky-Tonks" in the November 7, 2002 edition of the SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE, the following story appeared about the Suzy-Q, on Highway 8, halfway between Ford's Corner and Rosevine. It was operated by Lloyd Jones and his brother Bluford. "On a hot Saturday night, July 15, 1939, the jukebox was blaring, boots were scooting across the dance floor and beer caps were being popped with regularity. Rubus Price JOHNSON, thirty-one years of age and the son of E. Rufus (Bud) JOHNSON and Sally (Sumiter) JOHNSON, came in looking for his wife. He found her in a booth with Lott CONN. An argument developed and CONN, armed with a pistol, fired. JOHNSON fell, mortally wounded. During the trial for first degree murder, John WILLIAMS, who lived less than a half mile from the CONN family was called to testify. Odd as it might seem, being called as a witness for the State provided WILLIAMS an opportunity to obtain a measure of retribution. A little more than fifteen years earlier, on a Monday night in 1923, Lott C. CONN had committed aggravated assault against WILLIAMS, striking and bruising him with a hammer causing "....serious bodily injury." Evidently, Williams didn't take advantage of the situatioin, for while under cross examination he was asked what he saw, and replied that he didn't see anything. He was reminded he was in full view of the shooting, and asked again how he couhd have seen nothing. In a stentorian voice WILLIAMS replied, "I didn't see nothin' because I was drinking beer and eatin' tator slips." The courtroom buzzed with laughter. The Suzy-Q is gone now, not even a trace of foundation is left."

65. | Elisha Oliver Boyett (24.Martha3, 7.Henry2, 1.James1) was born on 3 Jan 1891 in Texas; died on 22 Feb 1958 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried on 23 Feb 1958 in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Kary Parker McCary shows he married Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964) who is also buried at Gravel Hill Cemetery. Did he also marry Nina Ethel Ludlow? She is shown as his spouse on FindAGrave, born 1894 Sabine County, died 1962, and buried int he Fairmount Cemetery. Nina Ethel is shown as a daughter of John L. LUDLOW, and she and Elisha are shown as the parents of Orval Valentine BOYETT (1919-1975), buried in Gravel Hill (Orval's Find A Grave Memorial Number is 81514854).
These families should be examined closely, as it is possible that the two Ethel's are being confused or conflated. To add to the confusion, Donley Burl Boyett, the brother of Elisha, is ALSO linked by FindAGrave to Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964).

92. | Willie Orma Boyett (27.Clarissa3, 7.Henry2, 1.James1) was born on 29 Oct 1903 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 17 Oct 1985 in Austin, Travis County, Texas; was buried in Junction Cemetery, Junction, Kimble County, Texas. Notes:
Willie was married first to Titus Coon, who was the father of her only child, daughter Bobbie. He left the family when Bobbie was born, leaving sole responsibility for raising their chid with Willie.
Both Bobbie Louise, still just a toddler, and Willie's widowed mother, Clarissa Conn Boyett, died within a few days of each other from pneumonia in March, 1935. Willie had been caring for them both.
Martha White, a niece of Willie's wrote that "Apparently Bobbie was a beloved, vivacious child adored by the whole community. Willie had saved the dress "they tore off my baby" when she was ill...and all the sympathy notes. There is a lovely story I never heard--until Mom [Annie Lora Boyett White] was in the nursing home and had dementia--and it was at a sermon Jackson [Boyett, Marti's cousin] gave. When Grandmother (who also was beloved and a popular member of the Junction community) and Bobbie died in the same week...it was rough in so many ways. She (Clarissa) had cooked for prisoners in the jail, as Ernest was sheriff then. One was financial. Times had been very, very hard for a long time and our family was poor...Anyway, Ernest went to the funeral home to make arrangements to try to pay for the funerals and was told there was no bill. What? Yes, the community thought so highly of him, Grandmother, Bobbie and the family that they had all contributed and paid off the two funerals. So, there are deep, abiding and loving roots with our family in Junction.
All are buried in the Junction cemetery.
Later in her live, Willie worked for the State and also worked at times at the Capitol.
Her husband, Sox [Hoy Reginald Smith], worked and retired from the Texas General Land Office.
The following biography, from FindAGrave, was also prepared by Martha White
Willie Orma Boyett was born to Robert and Clarissa Boyett in Sabine County, Texas on October 17, 1903. Mrs. Smith's first marriage to Titus Coon in East Texas produced one adorable child - a daughter named Bobbie Louise Coon - who passed away at age 4 of pneumonia - three days before Willie's own mother died of the same in Junction, Texas in 1935. Willie never got over the loss of her precious girl. Willie remarried Hoy Reginald "Sox" Smith in Kimble County, Junction, Texas, on Christmas Day 1939. Willie and Sox were married for 39 years until his death in January 1979. Wille is buried in Junction by her daughter, Bobbie Coon, her Mother Clarissa Conn Boyett and her husband, Hoy R. "Sox" Smith. Mrs. Smith loved to cook, can, garden and sew. She was always helping out others whether sending over food or making baby clothes for families who could not afford to buy any. She was a loving daughter, wife, sister and aunt. She is greatly missed.
Willie married Samuel Titus Coon, Sr. about 1929. Samuel was born on 15 Feb 1907 in Cass County, Texas; died on 19 Aug 1974 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Trout Creek Cemetery, Newton County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

His first marriage was to Sylvia Bolt and ended at her death in 1974. Ernest remarried on November 26, 1975 to Mrs. Frances Lindsey of Austin to whom he was married until his death. Mr. Boyett lived in Kimble County on his ranch that adjoined the of ranch of Coke Stevenson (Texas's World War II Governor). Boyett was the Mayor of Telegraph, Texas and in fact Boyett created Telegraph, Texas and got it on the map, literally. Telegraph consisted of Mr. Boyett's house, the Pink House, the General Store he owned and had a population high of 6! Mr. Boyett served as Governor Stevenson's Executive Secretary. Ernest was connected to a famous bit of Texas history - he was working for Gov. Stephenson when Stevenson ran for election to the United States Senate against President Lyndon B. Johnson. Gov. Stevenson was winning until Box 13 in Duvall County was found and the votes therein narrowly gave the election win to LJB. In addition, Boyett was Sargeant-of-Arms for the Texas House of Representatives. Finally, Mr. Boyett was the Public Relations Director for the Lone Star Book Depository a position he held for many years and until his death. Ernest was preceded in death by both parents, all but three of his siblings, and his first wife Sylia Bolt Boyett.
After he died there was a resolution from in the Texas Legislature honoring his years of service. This resolution can be viwed here:

An old newspaper column. Called "The Sage of the Sage Hills, TOM MARTIN, Says..."Wonder why all beauties cain't have a personality like Anne Boyett in the liquor control board. Anne is not only purty but she has a sense uv humor equal to an ole puncher. She can laugh until it is time to quit laughin'. Boy, whut a politician she's make..." (Seems to be a mainly political remarks column) -- back of print on other side is a Feb 26th date...no year. ..unfortunately, date cut off.
Martha also had a press clipping from Texas Press Association, News Herald, Kilgore, Texas dated Oct 26, 1980. Headline "Clayton will seek 4th term, Lewis says." Photo above article has group of staff and a clear photo of my Mom standing right near the Speaker.

Obituary
Beloved mother, Anne L. Boyett White, 73, went to be with Our Lord after a lengthy illness on December 10, 1995. Ms. White was a lifelong Texan born in Sabine County, the ninth and last child of Robert E. and Clarissa A. Conn Boyett. All her siblings preceded her in death. Ms. White grew up in Junction, Texas, graduating from Junction High School in 1940. She lived in Austin since 1945, where she attended the University of Texas. She was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd.
Ms. White retired in 1987 from the Texas House of Representatives after 20 years of service to the State of Texas. During her tenure as a staff member for the Texas House of Representatives, she was loved and admired for the bravery and courage she exhibited while fighting three different types of cancer over the years. She was very tenacious, often going to work on days when no one could imagine where she found the strength. She faced whatever life tossed her way with grace and a positive attitude. Ms. White always thought of others before herself. She was a caring and devoted sibling. As a mother, she set an example of how one should live life that will be difficult to follow. To describe the type of mother she was is easy - she was simply the best. No child has ever had a more loving, caring and supportive Mom.
Ms. White was never too busy to help a friend or a stranger. Animals and children gravitated towards her. She loved to work the daily crossword puzzle and has been known to play Scrabble until 4:00 a.m. when given the chance. Her motto was ''Be Nice'' and through her loving nature she earned the respect and love of all she knew. Ms. White is survived by her immediate family: Martha, Winston and Fala White.
