Mary Ann

Abt 1823

Yes, date unknown

Scott Watkins (firedogger@gmail.com) showed that she married first a CANNON and later a CONSTABLE, an Englishman. She was NOT the Mary Ann Watkins that married Amon P. Morris. Mary Ann Watkins Morris was instead the daughter of Alfred Watkins.

Scott notes that on the 1850 Sabine County, Texas census Mary Ann and Daniel Cannon are listed. Mary Ann is shown as age 28, born ca 1822. Their son, Green B. Cannon is enumerated with them. In 1860 Mary Ann can be found in Sabine Parish, Lousiana, age 28, and living with her second husband, Thomas Constable. Her son, now listed as Greenbury, is living with them at age 11.

Mary Ann

Abt 1828

21 Nov 1892

In Kathy Casagranda's 1850 Sabine Parish Census, she cites Mary Watkins as being the daughter of Joseph W. Watkins and Mary Smith of Sabine County, Texas on page 79 of her book. Later, on page 87, she indicates that she was likely a daughter of G. B. Watkins and his wife, Elizabeth, and that Mary Ann later married into the Constable family (sic).

Tim Willingham and Bettye Wagstaff don't think this is correct, nor does Scott Watkins (firedogger@gmail.com). In December, 2010 he emailed that:

"Green Berry's younger brother Alfred L, only had two daughters and no sons. The oldest daughter was Mary Ann, who married Amon P. Morris and her younger sister Drucilla Cordelia who married 1) White and 2) Partin. Both Mary Ann(s) are used back in forth between the family lines as well as William W. and Nancy. I started out to prove I was a descendant of Alfred L., only to find out I belong with Green Berry instead."

The 1840 Natchitoches Parish census shows:
J. B. Watkins 0111001000000 222001000000 1 3 1
A. L. Watkins 0000010000000 002001000000
The J. is a G. (census writers?) Both brothers are on the same page, just 10 lines apart. J. B. has 4 males and 7 females. A. L. has 1 male and 3 females. Later census shows Alfred with the same numbers and Green Berry with another daughter.

Ann McElhaney emailed, in March 2014, that "Mary Ann Watkins Morris died on November 21, 1892 and is buried on private land in Grosebeck, Limestone Co, Tx where it appears there was a small cemetery that has been hit by a small tornado. Mary Ann's grave was the only one with the stone intact and standing, I had to stoop down under trees and step over brush to get there and as I lifted my head, she was facing me as if to say, 'I'm here, I've been waiting for you to find me.' Truly there was great rejoicing on my part. "

Mary A.

Abt 1834

19 Feb 1874

According to the online trascription of the 1850 Meriwether County, Georgia census, there were two Mary Watsons living in Meriwether County, Georgia in 1850. I believe that the Mary Watson whom married John Brooks Fuller was the daughter of Arthur Watson.

1) The daughter of Arthur Watson, below, was born circa 1834. This matches the closely to her age as of the 1870 Sabine County Census (she was shown as age 36). On the 1860 Arkansas census, she is listed as age 24, which would make her year of birth circa 1836. On neither the 1860 or 1870 census, however, is she shown as being born circa 1831, as was the daughter of Robert Watson.

2) Robert Watson was born in Ireland. There is no indication that Mary Watson's father was born in Ireland. Arthur Watson was born in South Carolina, and at the time of the 1880 census, Charles H. Fuller indicates that his mother was born in South Carolina.

3) Arthur Watson has a daughter named Ophelia. This name is used in later generations of the Fuller family in Texas.

More work needs to be done to verify this, but it seems that it is a resonable hypothesis that Arthur Watson of South Carolina is the father of Mary Watson Fuller.

In upland South Carolina, at a place where local farmers penned their cows, an American force of 300 Continentals and 700 militia from North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia, won a brilliant victory against the British. On January 16, Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, pursued by 1,100 British under Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton, carefully picked his ground for a defensive battle. That night, Morgan personally went among the Continentals and militiamen to explain his plan of battle. Morgan wanted two good volleys from the militia, who would then be free to ride away. The next day, the battle went very much as Morgan had planned. Georgia and North Carolina sharpshooters, in front of the main body of American militia, picked off British cavalrymen as they rode up the slight rise toward the Americans. Then the deadly fire of the main body of South and North Carolina militia forced Tarleton to commit his reserves. Seeing the militia withdrawing as planned, the 17th Light Dragoons pursued, but were driven off by Morgan's cavalry. Meanwhile, the British infantry, who assumed that the Americans were fleeing, were hit by the main body of Continentals, Virginia militiamen, and a company of Georgians. At the battle's end they were aided by militia troops, who, instead of riding away as planned, attacked the 71st Highlanders, who were attempting to fight their way out of the American trap. The British lost: 100 killed including 39 officers, 229 wounded, and 600 captured. As they fled the field, Tarleton and his dragoons were pursued by Colonel William Washington's cavalry, which included mounted Georgia and South Carolina militiamen. http://www.ngb.dtic.mil/gallery/heritage/cowpen.shtml

William G.

6 May 1845

27 Apr 1927

"William's middle name is disputed. Some family oral tradition has his middle name as George, yet others suggest that it was Green. Most records simply used the initial G. as his middle name.

In his Confederate Pension Application, William G. stated that his parents were Penelope (Lott) and John Watts, both born in Georgia. He first married Mary McGrew, and she apparently died. In about 1892, he married Lizzie MOORE. He further stated that he had twelve sons and two daughters. His pension application was dated 20 Aug 1912.

The name of three sons and two daughters were indentified in the 1880 census. Aileen Watts Thames, a great-granddaughter of William and Mary, recalled the brothers and sisters of her father (Thomas H.) as Will, Annie, Susie, and a yonger brother who died young. The 1880 census listed Bobbie as two years old, yet in the 1900 census a Robert who was 18 years old was enumerated with William G. Whether these two names refer to the same person is unknown, but probably does. No other children were cited with William and Lizzie in 1900 and none in 1910, but they were living with the W. W. Watts family in Pearl River County, Mississippi in 1920. All of the known children were probably Mary Ann's, because Lizzie and William had been married eight years and had no children according to the 1900 census. The nine unknown children could have been either Lizzie's from a previous marriage, an error by the Covington County clerk who took orally and/or transcribed William G.'s Confederate Pension application, or an unintentional error by William G. when he completed his Pension application."

Donald Weaver

Don J. Weaver was born on December 10, 1929, in Duncan, Okla. to Leroy and Viola Weaver. Don graduated from Gainesville High School in 1947.

Don had an interest in the medical field and therefore went on to serve in the United States Navy in the medical field for 3 years. Upon his honorable discharge, Don chose Patricia Settle to be his wife on Feb. 24, 1952.

After serving his country, he then chose a career in the health care industry by working for the Gainesville Hospital and then took a position as the administrator for Coleman Hospital.

Don then took a position with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas in their Provider Relations Division as a Provider Relations Representative, which encompassed calling upon hospitals. Through this 23-year career, Don made many lifetime friends at Blue Cross and as well as hospital personnel. He was greatly respected by his employees and peers. You could count on Don to have all of the answers to any issues you many have. He had a wealth of knowledge about hospital billing practices along with a great memory.

After retirement, Don enjoyed his farm in Saint Jo, Texas, and invited everyone that knew him and Pat to come and visit at the farm. They hosted many cookouts which we all enjoyed and now look back on as such happy events that we shared with this couple.

Don was called home on November 30 after a 3-week stay at Presbyterian Hospital in Denton, Texas. He will be greatly missed by his family, Jim and Susan Weaver; grandchildren, Jake, Alex, and Nick; great-grandchildren, Olivia and Alexis. Don is also survived by his wonderful mother, Viola. Don's death leaves a great void in each of our lives and as we continue on with our lives, we can all stop and think of the humor Don had and enjoy a happy thought.

The family will receive friends at the Geo. J. Carroll & Son Funeral Home from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. today.

A Graveside Service will be conducted at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2007, at Fairview Cemetery, officiated by Rev. Rob Spencer. Services are under the direction of Geo. J. Carroll & Son Funeral Home.

SABINE COUNTY REPORTER 10 August 1994 page 8 (with picture) "Weems tops class at Baylor University's School of Law"

Lori Kaye Weems, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.Z. (Bill) Weems Jr of Nacogdoches received her Juris Doctor Degree from Baylor University Graduation Program for the School of Law on Saturday, July 30, at Waco Hall, Baylor University Campus.

Weems graduated summa cum laude--the highest ranking student in the graduating class of 45 students.

On Aug. 1-4 she attended a meeting of the American Bar Association held in New Orleans where she participated in the National Moot Court Competition.

In September, Weems will join the staff of Judge Sam Johnson in Austin.

Parents of Weems are Dr. Mary Kate HALBERT Weems, a member of the faculty of Stephen F. Austin University and former Hemphill High School graduate, and attorney W.Z. (Bill) Weems Jr who has law offices in Hemphill, San Augustine and Nacogdoches.

Grandparents are Mrs. Genevieve HALBERT and the late L.T. HALBERT of Milam, former faculty members of the West Sabine and Hemphill Independent School Districts.

Mr. Halbert was also later associated with Halbert's Inc. and Holly Farms, Inc.

Other grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. W.Z. Weems Sr. of Dallas.

The 2019 obituary of her uncle listed her as niece, Loria Weems EVERS.

Obituary

Lori Weems Evers (Lori Kaye Weems) daughter of the late, William Zachary (Bill) Weems and Mary Kate (Suzy) Halbert Weems, was born September 26, 1968, in Lubbock, TX and passed to life eternal the week of April 22, 2022, in her home in Mary Esther, Florida.

Lori loved her family, her friends, and her life. She lived life to its fullest. Deeply loyal, passionately loving, and fiercely caring to all she loved and the causes she supported. We will miss her but know she has been restored to eternal life because of her faith in Jesus Christ.

Lori graduated from Nacogdoches High School. She earned her BA in 1990, her Masters in English, and then her law degree in 1994 all from Baylor University. After graduating first in her class at Baylor School of Law in 1994, she clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Lori Weems Evers fought, for people in areas of Family, Criminal, Probate and Government Law. She was an experienced & accomplished Florida attorney with over 20 years' experience.

In 2017, Lori made the decision to return to her roots in the law, representing people who could not fight for themselves. An expert on the Florida Constitution and its interrelation with complex statutory and regulatory schemes, Lori could spot legal issues decisively and accurately. Most importantly, she used her experiences lobbying opinion makers and leaders to solve her client's problem as quickly, creatively, inexpensively, and painlessly as possible.

Weems

William Zachary

30 Jul 1944

9 Jun 2000

The Texas Birth Index shows him as a son of William Zachary Weems, Jr. and Dorothy Lee Cooper. There was a World War II pilot, First Lt. William Z. Weems, Jr., who was missing over Torretta, Italy in July 1944. His next of kin was his wife, living on 2259 Goldsmith Road in Houston, Texas. It is not known if this is the same William Zachary Weems Jr who had a namesake son born in Harris County.

"....Attorney W.Z. (Bill) Weems Jr who has law offices in Hemphill, San Augustine and Nacogdoches..."

Obituary, copied from Find A Grave

William Zachary ("W.Z." or "Bill") Weems, Jr., 75, died peacefully in the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 9, 2020, at his home in Nacogdoches, where he spent his final days surrounded by his close family.

Born in Houston, Texas, on July 30, 1944, to the late Lieutenant W.Z. Weems and Dorothy Cooper Weems, Bill grew up moving frequently, attending high school at Hillcrest High School in Dallas, and graduating from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio, in 1962, where he was a competitive swimmer and active in Junior ROTC and Boy Scouts, earning his Eagle Scout at just 16.

Bill attended The Ohio State University and transferred to Texas Tech University in Lubbock where he graduated with a Finance undergraduate degree in 1968 and then law school in Texas Tech's second graduating class of Juris Doctorates in 1971. While an undergrad at Tech Bill roomed with the late Tom Halbert of Milam, Texas, and Bill married Tom's big sister Suzy on his 22nd birthday in 1966, a decision he called the very best and "most fortunate" of his life. Following law school, Bill served in the U. S. Army in Fort Knox, Kentucky, and then moved to East Texas where he opened law offices and title companies serving Sabine and San Augustine Counties. After joining his father for a stint in the tire business, Bill returned to East Texas to practice law in Nacogdoches, San Augustine and Sabine Counties until his retirement.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years Mary Kate "Suzy" Halbert Weems of Nacogdoches; Daughter Lori of Florida; Sons Jon and wife Amber of Marble Falls, Zac and wife Becky of Nacogdoches, and Rob of Midland; Grandchildren, Lexi, Max, Morgan, Mia, Carlie and Natalie; brother Craig and wife Pamela of Cedar Park, sister Barbara and husband Walt of Dallas; his favorite Aunt Marcie; and many nieces and nephews.

Bill loved golfing, farming, fishing, hunting, eating, travelling, living and -- most of all -- just being with his beloved family who he left with so many precious memories of laughter, love, and life. Bill's children love and remember him proudly and gratefully for his integrity, honesty, humor, humility and character and his infectious love for the people of his East Texas home. His grandchildren also will always love and remember their "Cockle" and have promised to take care of Suzy, Lori, Jon, Amber, Zac, Becky, Rob, each other and his beloved surviving service dog Buster.

Visitation will be held at Cason-Monk Funeral Home in Nacogdoches from 4 to 6 PM on Thursday evening, June 11, 2020, with graveside services to follow at Halbert Cemetery in Milam, Friday morning at 10 AM.

Honorary Pallbearers will be: Don Tucker, Richard Ahrens, Dillon Tinsley, and David Price.

Betty Alice Wehunt Will Teach in Denver

Miss Betty Alice Wehunt is spending the summer in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Wehunt. Miss Wehunt, who received her bachelor's degree in education from the Oklahoma State University at Stillwater, plans to teach in Denver, Colorado next year.

Obituary

Betty Alice Strong passed away on April 29, 2013. Betty was born in Ada OK on March 4th, 1935 to Arthur and Evelyn Wehunt and spent her childhood in Sulphur OK, graduating from Sulphur High School in 1953.

At Oklahoma A&M in Stillwater OK, Betty was an active member of Kappa Delta sorority. While at A&M she met her future husband, William R "Bill" Strong on a blind date. After receiving her BA degree in Home Economics in 1957 she started her career as a school teacher in Denver, CO and she and Bill, then a member of the US Army, were married in Colorado Springs in Feb. 1958.

Together they enjoyed living around the United States (Oklahoma, Texas, California, Louisiana, Maryland and Virginia) and Germany (Berlin and Stuttgart) for over twenty years as members of the US Army, raising four sons and making many lifelong friends along the way.

She lived in the Oklahoma City area from 1978, where she has been an active member of the Putnam City Baptist Church and a Regional Manager for Hearst Business Publications for Oklahoma and the surrounding states. After her retirement in 2004 she and Bill spent winters in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas where she was also a member of the First Baptist Church.

Always an active person, her love of learning and travel continued throughout her life. She traveled extensively with family and friends all over the U.S., Europe, China and Northern Africa, and was actively planning new travel adventures with her grandchildren at the time of her passing.

She relished spending time with her five grandchildren at every opportunity. Being with them always brought her great joy.

Always elegant, always positive, her passion for life was contagious and lives on in all who knew her, and her deep love for her family and friends will forever be a cherished memory and a comfort for all the loved ones she leaves behind.

Betty is survived by her husband, Bill Strong; her sister, Lynda Wehunt Soady of Washington DC and her husband Bob Soady and son Rick Lewis; her son Richard Strong of San Francisco, CA; her son John Strong of Winston Salem, NC and his wife Kim and son Benjamin; her son Stanley Strong of Piedmont, OK and his wife Ginger and daughters Kennedy, Brooklyn and Rayanna; her son Gregory Strong of San Francisco, CA and his wife Cecilia and son Max.

The funeral service will be held at 10am Friday, May 3rd, 2013 at Mercer-Adams Funeral Service, 3925 North Asbury Avenue, Bethany, OK.

Excerpts from her eulogy, written by son Richard Strong

Good morning everyone, thanks very much for being here. Today, I'd like to share a couple of stories that Mom and I always enjoyed remembering together.

As most of you know, ours was an Army household, and while the boys were growing up we moved every three years or so to a new place. Some folks wouldn't like that type of life, but Betty saw it as an opportunity, taking full advantage of what each new place had to offer. We had the opportunity to live in Germany on two different tours, and during the first of those tours we took a family vacation to Greece.

While in Athens, we visited the Acropolis one morning, strolling around the ruins. I was pretty young, but I could see that Mom was fascinated by the history and by the setting. Now at that time on the Acropolis there were a lot of small pieces of rock and broken marble on the ground around the Parthenon. I decided to preserve the moment (or perhaps it was just boys being boys), and I reached down and picked up a hefty specimen and said "Mom, hide this in your purse!". She took the chunk of marble, looked around, smiled conspiratorially, opened her purse and nonchalantly dropped it right in.

I still have that piece of marble today. I think it's time to have it framed with a plaque that says "My Mom stole this from the steps of the Parthenon. What a gal!".

A little later that day Mom wanted to stroll around, and she and I ended up off the normal tourist path and back in a local working class neighborhood.
Well, it was lunch time, and Mom picked this small local place on the side of a busy road ? I had no idea why and truth be told I was a little uneasy. But I tell ya, the folks at this place were very friendly and more than happy to seat us, but they didn't speak any English. And there were no English menus. So, after a couple of minutes of unsuccessful menu charades the waiter motions to Mom and I to follow him. Mom is game to see what's going on so she pops right up and says let's go. I'm thinking I really have no idea what's happening here.

The waiter leads us across the busy road and inside a small building across the street. It turns out we're in a small kitchen with several large pots simmering on the stove. The waiter says something to the cook, who smiles and motions us over. He opens each of the pots so that we can see what's cooking, and Mom tells me we get to pick which one we want for lunch. Mom is having a great time, and me, I'm just trying to see whether there is anything that I can recognize in those pots.

So we both choose our main course, the waiter escorts us back across the street and then a few minutes later he treks back across the street and returns wielding a big tray with our meals. It was delicious.

Something clicked in my mind - this is kinda fun, Mom is kinda cool, I want to do this again!

That was my first lesson in how to travel, and it came directly from my Mom - appreciate the local history, show an interest in the culture, get off the beaten path and more often than not, you'll find some locals that are excited to show you around.

As I matured I grew to admire and appreciate more and more her desire to travel, and her appetite for new experiences. Because of her example, I now have many wonderful travel memories of my own.

In fact one of those memories comes from a trip that Mom and I took together.

A few years ago when my brother John and his family were living in Nanjing, China, Mom and I paid a visit. We had a wonderful time, and Mom thoroughly enjoyed all of the cultural and historical sites, as well as the local markets and restaurants that John and Kim showed us. While we were there we had lots of fabulous meals, but Mom loved recalling a story about one of our dinners in particular.

John and Kim had arranged a very nice dinner for us with their colleagues from work, and we had a grand dinner in a private room. Everything smelled and tasted wonderful, and then a special dish arrived and it was placed on the table in front of Mom. John explained to Mom that as guest of honor, as his Mom and the eldest guest, she was being given the honor of having the first bite of.... an artfully plated entr?e of...

Turtle!

John continued and told Mom that the turtle's shell, which was detached and sitting on top of the rest of the turtle entree, had been slow cooked so that you could bite into it and eat the outer layers. That's apparently where she should start.

While John was explaining this. I could see Mom's eyes getting bigger and bigger, and when it was time for her to take the first bite, she looked all around the table, her gaze finally settling on me and she said "Riiiich, I think this is something that you might like to try!"

So that's how I got my first taste of turtle, and in that one bite earned a week's worth of brownie points and saved my Mom from trying to pick up an entire turtle shell with a pair of chopsticks.

You know, after I heard of Betty's passing on Monday, that evening I sat in front of my computer and looked at hundreds of pictures that I had of her. Viewing those pictures made me realize all over again what a passion she had for living, and how much she enjoyed her time with her family and friends.

I'm certain that passion for life that she had lives on in each one of us who had the privilege to know her.

In particular, as I look around and see her grandchildren, I'm thankful that each of them got to experience her generous spirit and to know how much she loved them. I look forward to hearing about their adventures and their accomplishments and thinking about how proud Betty would be of them.

Lastly, as I look at her life, and the example she set for me personally, I know I'll always tell anyone willing to listen what a wonderful woman she was, and how proud I am to call myself her son

Weiss

Joan Arlene

21 May 1930

31 Jul 2018

Joan Birdwell Bailey was my Mom, and I pray my words do her justice. Mom was summoned by the Lord on July 31, 2018. The only child of Lola and Frederick Weiss, she was born on May 21, 1930 in White Plains, New York. She joined the USAF and in 1949, while working as an air traffic controller at Keesler AFB in Mississippi, she met, fell in love with, and married a dashing young airman named Norman Birdwell of San Augustine.

They had four children together in a 14-year period. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lola and Frederick Weiss, her son, Brett Michael Birdwell, and Norman Birdwell. She is survived by a daughter, Linda Birdwell Thomson of San Augustine, two sons, Bruce Frederick Birdwell (wife Jacque) of Houston, and Barry Norman Birdwell of San Antonio, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Mom remained the glue that held the family together as she oversaw the numerous moves from one location to another as the military assigned dad where he was needed. Biloxi, Alamagordo, Tucson, Laredo, Bryan, Waco, New York, the United Kingdom, and Alexandria all come to mind. A bunch of sometimes rowdy children and numerous pets packed into a car for hours bring back fond memories.

Mom had to perform as both parents while dad spent a year in Vietnam. Only as I matured did I comprehend just how difficult that was for her. No one could have done better or with more class. Mom encouraged, inspired, guided, disciplined, tutored, bandaged, and consoled us. She loved animals, was kind, giving, and demonstrated compassion to those less fortunate. Mom passed those traits to her children. While her children were the joy of her life, she was truly the joy and inspiration of ours.

Even when she worked on what was at that time the largest off-shore submersible oil rig in the world ("New Era"), everyone on the rig referred to her as "Mom". That alone speaks volumes.

So, Mom, although I cannot see you now, I will see you again on the other side.

We love and miss you Mom, Bruce

At her request, a intimate quiet memorial service will be held.

Mary Ann

28 Dec 1840

19 Jul 1921

The death certificates of Mary's two oldest sons have seemingly conflicting information as to the name of their mother. LaVonne Bennett, an Ionia County researcher, emailed me that while at the Eaton County Courthouse, she "learned from death records of Wm Bert and Elmer that papa's name was Frank/Franklin Smith, and that mama's was either Mary (Ann?) ELVERT b in Ionia or (Mary?) Ann WELCH b Canada!" However, although William Bert Smith's death certificate shows his mother as Mary Elvert, his marriage license lists his mother as Mary Welch. Additionally, Marcus's marriage certificate list his mother as Mary Ann Welch. Samuel Lee Chapman's death certificate, a son by Mary Ann's second marriage, also lists his mother as Mary Ann WELCH. Only Marcus Chapman's death certificate shows his mother's maiden name as unknown. It was filed by the "Bureau Social Aid Records, Ionia," however, and not a relative.

In looking at a transcription of the Ionia, MI 1850 Federal Census, I discovered that a Mary Ann WELCH and William WELCH were living with the ELEVERT family. It appears likely that 30 year old Ann Elvert is their mother, the former Anna BROWN. Anna Brown appears to have first married William WELCH, and later remarried William ELVERT. It is also possible that Mary Ann and William may have been orphaned or otherwise abandoned, and were living with the Elvert family at the time of that census.

Mary did not have an easy life. At 38, she had been twice widowed, and had charge of four young sons: Elmer Smith, Bert Smith, Samuel Lee Chapman, and Marcus Chapman. Marcus was a newborn. Additionally, she had five older stepchildren, who may not have been particularly happy to have both lost their father and gained a stepmother in a relatively brief period of time.

In James Leak's 3-23-1875 petition to be named the administrator of Samuel's will, he states: ".....for the following among other reasons the widow is not able to work or take charge of her interest in said estate and the heirs are of them three minors and under Guardianship and those who are of age are not in circumstances to carry on to advantage of the whole of said real estate and further the estate has a large part of said land under a crop of wheat down by said deceased in his lifetime which will require the same care and attention necessary to protect crops on the whole of said lands."

LaVonne Bennett also located the following obituaries and will for Mary Ann:

(There was) only this very brief mention in the Grand Ledge (newspaper): "THE GRAND LEDGE INDEPENDENT, MI, Friday, July 22, 1921, front page: MRS. MARY CHAPMAN, mother of W. B, Smith of this city, who has been ill with paralysis since the latter part of May, passed away at her home near Lake Odessa, July 16, at the age of 84 years. She also leaves two other sons, Elmer Smith and Marcus Chapman, at home."

In THE WAVE-TIMES, Lake Odessa, MI, pg 5, July 22, 1921: "Woodland (News items) - FRANK SMITH and his sister Miss GERTIE SMITH were in Odessa Tuesday afternoon attending the funeral of their aunt Mrs. Mary Chapman who died Saturday from a paralytic stroke."

Probated Will #8880, Ionia County, MI, filed 8-15-1921. Mary Ann Chapman's real estate was valued at $6500; personal estate at $100. Administrator Marcus B. Chapman of Lake Odessa was also one of the heirs, along with: Elmer Smith, son, age 5(6?), of Lake Odessa; W. B. Smith, 53, Grand Ledge; Clair Chapman, nephew, 19, Grand Ledge; Herbert Chapman, nephew, 21, of Montana [in another section of the papers, they were referred to as grandchildren]; and Marcus, 46, Lake Odessa.

From her will (barely readable) made 11-14-1906: ".....to Francis Elmer Smith, son, she wanted him to have property of the east 1/2 of the south east 1/4 of Section 22, Tpw 5N, Range 7W. If he predeceased her and had no heirs, the land was to go to Marcus B., Herbert and Clare, and ______ (all the preceding were Chapmans. To William B. Smith, son, she willed the west 1/2 of the above property.

Marcus was to receive his choice of her household furniture, as was Francis Elmer. She bequeathed $100 to (Daniel or Samuel) Lee Chapman, son of Herbert.

Addendum: W. B. Smith of Grand Ledge was appointed Guardian of Clare Chapman, minor. Herbert Chapman (legalee?) NR (no record?)
