Caroline Lightfoot

Caroline married Basley Broach on 19 Dec 1844 in Henry County, Tennessee. Basley was born about 1818 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Robert Cecil McDaniel, in his autobiography, wrote that his Broach grandparents owned a boarding house located near the railroad depot in Crawford. His grandfather had a state license to practice law, but McDaniel didn't believe he ever followed the legal profession. He may have published a weekly newspaper in Crawford, and before the Model T days, he owned a livery stable. McDaniel's impression was that his grandfather was more of a "dreamer" than a "doer" and that his grandmother probably made the living.

Notes:

In his autobiography, Robert Cecil McDaniel wrote that his mother was one of the teachers at Six Mile School, and that she taught in the country schools in and around Six Mile for fifteen years, her last assignment being at a one-teacher school called "Goat Town." During her lifetime she tutored several young people to help them pass the state examination and begin their own teaching careers. She brought 25 or 30 books with her to Sabine County after her marriage in 1907, and they were sometimes used as a public library as most of the other families had nothing more to read than a Bible.

Robert Cecil McDaniel

Robert Cecil McDaniel died on the 23rd day of November, 2005 at 90 years of age. Cecil was born on March 19, 1915 in Sabine County, Texas in the community of Six Mile. Sabine County has been the home of his ancestors since 1850 when Cecil's great grandfather settled in the community later to be known as Fairdale in the Southeastern part of Sabine County, Texas.

He entered the United States Army on May 5, 1941 and retired from service after having served in both World War II and the Korean Conflict. He served in the Philippines, Okinawa, Panama, and with the Army task groups in the Marshall Islands, South Pacific, which participated in the first hydrogen bomb test. He also served six years in the Pentagon, Washington, D.C., in the Office of the Adjutant General, U.S. Army.

After retiring from the military, Cecil and his wife, Loye Winona White McDaniel, returned to Sabine County. It was during this time that Cecil's love for writing, his family and the people of Sabine County resulted in his authoring 12 books, including a book of poetry and prose, When the Moon was on the Rise, an autobiography, In Search of Blue Water, a book of short essays, Come Smile with Me, and nine historical books: Citizen-Soldiers of Sabine County, Texas 1812-1991; Sabine County, Texas: The First One-Hundred and Fifty Years 1836-1986; Hemphill High School, Sabine County, Texas: The First Seventy-Eight Years 1911-1989; The 1900 Census of Sabine County, Texas; The 1920 Census of Sabine County, Texas; and A Pictorial History of Sabine County, Texas (Vols. I, II, III, and IV).

In addition to being an author, Cecil was an artist. His paintings most often depict valleys of bluebonnets and other landscapes. Robert Cecil McDaniel was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Loye Winona White McDaniel of the Gravel Hill community near Hemphill, Texas (born October 30, 1919 - died December 4, 2002), grandson, Stephen White McDaniel, II, parents, Ruben Sim McDaniel and Winifred Caroline Broach McDaniel, and brothers, Ruben Sim (R.S.) McDaniel, Jr., Norman Broach McDaniel, and Kenneth Smith McDaniel. He is survived by his sons, Dwight Patrick McDaniel and Stephen White McDaniel, daughters-in-law, Patricia Ann Tweten McDaniel and Marcia Sue Burlison McDaniel, and grandchildren, Harper Longstreet McDaniel and Erin Colleen McDaniel.

To his family, he will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather, and also as an artist, poet and historian of Sabine County. "A God who formed me from the clay, Then gave to me the sweet light of day, And one faith, one hope, one soul sure, Imperfect yes, but through Him made pure."
