  3. 4.  Clara Belle Gaines Descendancy chart to this point (1.Albert1) was born on 9 Feb 1910 in Altus, Jackson County, Oklahoma; died on 20 Dec 1999 in Houston, Harris County, Texas.

    Notes:

    At the time of the 1930 census, 20 year old Clara was listed as divorced, and she and her daughter Charleen were living with her parents in Austin.

    After divorcing Clara Gaines, it is possible that Jewel Hedrick remarried, and was living in Kiowa, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, listed as being age 22. His wife, also age 22, was named Effie, and they had a 2 month old son, Junior. Also living with Jewel and his second wife were his parents, Frank and Mary Hedrick of Tennessee. At the time of the 1920 census, Frank and Mollie Hedrick can be found in Damon Twp, Latimer County, Oklahoma, along with three children, Larante, Olie and Jewel. That census listing, however, shows Jewel as born ca 1908 instead of 1898. This may have been simply an error in the transcription, but should be resolved. It is possible there were two Jewel Hedrick's.

    Her second marriage was to Chapell CRUMLEY, and they had no issue.

    Notes:

    Maurine Brydson passed away unexpectedly Sunday, May 28. She was 88. Born in Crowell, Texas on January 5, 1918, she was the youngest and last surviving of the five daughters of Albert and Minnie Bell Gaines. Her family moved to Austin when she was a young girl and she resided in the Austin area until her death. Her first husband, Lee Robertson, passed away in 1969. In 1984 she married Johnnie Brydson who died in 1995. She never bore children but her niece, Charlene Ingram; step daughter, Amy Bonds and nephew's wife, Judy Bloomquist were her "daughters". Her nephew, Marvin Bloomquist, was her "son". Their families were her "grandchildren".

    Maurine and Johnnie married late in life after both losing spouses to cancer. They made up for lost time with a very full life. They especially enjoyed traveling, taking numerous trips to Europe, Hawaii, and all over the US. While Johnnie's unexpected death was a crushing blow, Maurine did not let it get her down. She continued an active social life and made trips to Italy, Ireland and New York City when she was well into her 80's. In August of 2004 she walked the Golden Gate Bridge in both directions. She lived alone at her home in Oak Hill, taking care of a beautiful yard, her cats, and a vegetable garden. She was active in her church, Abiding Love Lutheran, other social organizations, played bridge and dominoes, drove her own car, and throughly enjoyed life right to the end. She never met a stranger - she made everyone feel special and after talking to her a few minutes it was like she had been your life long friend. She was an inspiration to all of us as a way to stay young at heart when the body grows old. She had a zest for life but did not fear death. She saw it as the time she would be reunited with her beloved Johnnie and all of her friends who had gone before her. Her passing leaves a big gap in the lives of many but we were all blessed by her time on this earth.

    Her friends are invited to join her family in a celebration of her life at Weed-Corley-Fish funeral home, 3125 North Lamar, at 11 AM Thursday June 1. Internment will be at Forest Oaks Memorial Park. A reception will follow at Abiding Love Lutheran Church, 7210 Brush Country Road. There will be a visitation Wednesday, May 31 at the funeral home from 6:30 to 8 PM. The family suggests donations to the Seton Heart Transplant Fund or a charity of your choice in lieu of flowers.

    Maurine married Lee Allen Robertson on 11 Apr 1936 in Austin, Travis County, Texas. Lee was born on 4 Nov 1913 in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas; died on 5 Dec 1969 in Austin, Travis County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
