McDaniel Celebrates 90th Birthday

The family of Lodema Jones McDaniel would like to invite all friends and family to a birthday party honoring her on her 90th birthday. The party will be held at her home in Yellowpine on Sept. 13 (Saturday) from 2 to 5 p.m. No gifts please.

Lodema was born in Yellowpine on Sept. 13, 1913 to Sam and Lorena JONES. On June 3, 1933, she married Wendell McDaniel and they have three children, Frances CANNON of Hemphill, Mike of Corpus Christi, and Janice JONES of Aruba.

She has always been a big part of her church in Beaumont where they lived for the most part of their younger years, but most of all she was and still is a prayer warrior. She still takes pride in how she looks, does some housework, love to eat out and most of all, loves to have company. Her kind heart is evident as she tries to give each visitor something to take home. Lodema has six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Drop by and wish Aunt Lodemma a happy birthday. She will convince you to have a piece of cake.

THE McDANIEL FIVE (Photo submitted)

How unique is it to see siblings, five of them, all in their 80s and all still living and doing well except for the things that getting older brings to all of us? I would say it is very seldom heard of and when we do hear and see it, we need to pause and celebrate! Above are all five children of Nolan Ernest, sr. (Mac) and Ella Lee McDaniel. Seated, from left: Wendell, 89, (who will be 90 Sept. 20) of Yellowpine, Clement, 88 of Hemphill and Ernest, 85, of Yellowpine; standing: Evelyn (Easley), 80, of San Juan Capistrano, CA, and Zuda (Tinsley), 82, or Hemphill. They were all born in Sabine County and raised in the old community of Mason Town, now known as Six Mile. They were raised when times were hard ans each had to pull their own weight, when walking was something they had to do to get where they wanted to go and not for exercise. Going barefooted was something they did, not for fun, but out of necessity. Getting to school was a chore. During grade school years they walked three miles to attend school in Six Mile and as high school years approached, some stayed with friends in Hemphill and Yellowpine so they could attend school. Even with all the marks set against them, the five grew up to be fine upstanding citizens of the communities they chose as grown men and women to start and raise their families. So much could be said about each of these five people (I am the niece of Wendell, but claim them all as my aunts and uncles) and wish for each, all the blessings that only God can bestow on them in the years he chooses to give them.

Notes:

Married:
Robert Cecil McDaniel wrote, in his autobiography, that after "his grandparents married, they moved to the Bayou Community, located about four miles north of Fairdale. They lived there until Grandpa's death on December 10, 1899, at the age of fifty-five."

John married Eunice "Una" Carter White on 6 Mar 1883 in Sabine County, Texas. Eunice (daughter of Henry Strickland White, Sr and Ann Vardeman) was born on 7 Jun 1852 in Texas; died on 16 Jul 1925. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On the 1920 Sabine County census, she was living in the household of her son, John B. Walker in Precinct #1 of Sabine County, household #579/601. She was listed as a 67 year old widow.

Notes:

Married:
John Walker, a 42 year old Widower, lived next door to 28 year old Eunice White, who was living at home with her parents, at the time of the 1880 census.

Charles White also lists them as being the parents of a Emma Walker, dob unknown, who married Bence Ener. He cites Mrs. A.V. White, THEY CAME TO TEXAS. However, I was unable to locate Emma on the 1900 census with her parents. She would have had to have been under age 17 at the time (The Walker's were married in 1883) or already married. However, Bency Ener was still living at home in 1900, an 11 year old son of Mart and Harriett Ener in Precinct #7, #122/122. Additionally, in Sabine County Marriage Records 1900-1910 by Toole, it is shown that EVA Walker married Bencie Ener on 6 March 1910.

John married Lucinda Lamberth before 1875. Lucinda was born about 1857 in Texas; died about 1885 in Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
