  1. 1.  Maude Mae Tyson was born on 10 Jul 1875 in Maysfield, Milam County, Texas; died on 24 Feb 1967 in Rankin, Upton County, Texas; was buried in Sherwood Cemetery, Sherwood, Irion County, Texas.

    Notes:

    The daughter of Noah J Tyson and Sonora Clay Hanks.

    Source Nora Gentry LOCKLIN, 1987: "At Howard Payne College, Maude did not like the food in Robinett Hall, and her college days were few. Another reason was that she was in love with David Simon GENTRY, a Howard Payne student from Goldthwaite, eleven miles from Mullin. David was born 30 June 1874 in Grayson County, Texas. Before Grandaddy Tyson would give his girl away in marriage, he rode his horse, Old Button, to Goldthwaite to see what was generally thought of this boy David Gentry. One man told him David was worth a whole cow pen of other boys. Maude and Dave were married in Mullin in the Tyson Home, 7 November 1894. Granny Tyson thought that you should not bother to ice a cake, so she baked several plain pound cakes for the reception and the dance. The bride's dress was of cream colored solid cashmere, made basque style and trimmed in lace. The bride wore a beil and white gloves. The first night the couple slept in the side room of the Tyson Home."

    Notes:

    From Texas Highways, October 1994, Speaking of Texas

    In the early 1920's Frank Pickrell, vice president and general manager of Texon Oil and Land Company, found that nobody wanted to buy an oil lease in Reagan County. Though there was no sign of oil in the county, Pickrell and others were convinced it was there for the taking. The plan was to drill a "wildcat" oil well in hopes of making the venture more attractive to investors. Pickrell traveled to New York to try to raise money for his scheme. The potential backers included a Catholic women's society. Hesitant about investing, the women consulted their priest, who suggested they ask Santa Rita, patron saint of the impossible and hopeless, for guidance. They did so, decided to invest, and gave the priest an envelope full of dried rose petals. The priest blessed the petals, then gave them to Pickrell with instructions from the women to sprinkle them over the proposed drilling site. When Pickrell returned to the site, on University of Texas land between Big Lake and Rankin, he climbed to the top of the derrick as directed, crumbled the rose petals into the breeze, and declared, "I christen thee Santa Rita." The Santa Rita gusher blew in on May 28, 1923, providing the University of Texas with unexpected wealth. Of the adults who watched the liquid gold begin to flow, 96-year-old Nora Locklin of Knickerbocker, whose husband, Dee, worked for the driller, is the only living witness. --- Barbara Barton, Knickerbocker.
