Elizabeth Burton Stovall

Notes:

Her FindAGrave memorial page, created by Ray and Peggy Holbrooks Pace, show her as a daughter of Thomas S. Stovall (FAG #82232361) and Sarah Day (FAG #82231992).

Elizabeth married Andrew Henderson "A. H." McGown in 1849. Andrew (son of George W. McGown and Margaret "Peggy" Sartain) was born on 9 Mar 1824 in Tennessee; died on 14 Aug 1904 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in McGown Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1870, he was listed at home with his parents and siblings, and not with (first wife?) Priscilla Jane Evans.

In 1880, he was remarried to an Ida, and living in Sabine County, Texas. The 1900 Sabien County census shows Ida as widowed, and living with son Drayton, one of her three living children. George was shown in the household--logical if Ida was a widow.

However the McGown cemetery has a double tombstone for George McGown (#27357164)and Ida McGown (# 27357205). The headstone, engraved with the words "Father" and "Mother" show that George was born 1852, and died in 1897. Ida was shown with a date of birth of 1850 (later than her birthdate per the 1900 census of Nov 1844) and date of death as 1905.

Are these discrepencies the result of errors on either/or the census and grave markers? Or could their have been two George and Ida McGown families, approximately the same age, in Sabine County.

Notes:

Kay Parker McCary shows her as the daughter of William Henry BOYD and Sarah Elizabeth McGOWN. Evon Tisdale also noted her maiden name as BOYD. The Texax Birth Index information for her son, Paul Boyd McLemore, shows his mother as Mary Frances CONN, however. Perhaps she was first married to a CONN? Or maybe the Birth Index information is simply an error.

Mary married Ernest Edward McLemore on 21 Dec 1913. Ernest (son of John F. "Finn" McLemore and Rutha Triphene White) was born on 20 May 1889 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 7 Oct 1963 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas.

San Augustine History 1929 by Harry P. Noble

November 1929

Roy Russell (30), a well-to-do Milam farmer, was stabbed in the lower stomach on the Hemphill courthouse steps by his nephew, Al HOLBERT (Halbert?), and died a few minutes later. According to M.S. MORRIS, an eyewitness, the stabbing grew out of an arguement over a pair of mules. After the stabbing, Ran Russell, a brother to Roy, attacked Holbert, but Holbert made his escape through the crowd. However, Holbert was soon found and arrested but since he had received several deep cuts on the neck and face he was taken to a hospital where he was kept under close guard.

Roy married Vergie Lorena Halbert before 1924. Vergie (daughter of William Washington "Dick" Halbert, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Smith) was born on 4 Nov 1905 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 18 Sep 1991 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Halbert Cemetery (Joel Halbert Cemetery / Fox Hill Cemetery), Milam, Sabine County, Texas.

Obituary, copied from FindAGrave memorial created by Ruth M. Brown:

Horace Burnard "H.B." Halbert Jr., M.D., 77, of Round Rock, passed away Friday, March 11, 2011, at the scene of a one-car collision near Jewett, Texas. A celebration of H.B.'s life will be 10 a.m. Thursday, March 17, at Central Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Texas.

Dr. Halbert was born in Frankston, Texas, to the late H.B. Halbert Sr. and Mattie Petri Halbert. After H.B.'s graduation from Frankston High School in 1950, an athletic scholarship led him to Schreiner College in Kerrville. Then his appointment to the United States Military Academy took him to West Point, N.Y. Deciding to pursue a medical degree, H.B. transferred to the University of Texas at Austin to complete his undergraduate studies. He graduated from UT Southwestern Medical School, and took his internship and residency at Methodist and Parkland Hospitals. His medical specialization was Family Practice. He spent the next 48 years pursuing his lifelong passion.

For over 30 years, Dr. Halbert served the community of Rosebud, Texas, providing care from cradle to grave at the facilities he established, Halbert Clinic, Halbert Hospital, and Heritage House Nursing Home. It is estimated that during this time, he delivered about 3,000 babies. Patients of this era will remember his standard wardrobe: green scrubs, red socks. After leaving Rosebud, Dr. Halbert practiced in Whitney, Burkburnett, Frankston, Huntsville, Sealy, and Pasadena. Highly competitive, H.B. took pleasure in many sports and games. Although an avid fan of the Longhorns and the Cowboys, he always held a keen interest in high school football as well. H.B. was deeply honored when Rosebud-Lott asked him to return as team doctor for their state championship game in 2002, which the Cougars won. An enthusiastic hunter, he typically had a bird dog. Anyone who played bridge or "42" with him soon learned that he could count cards and see through dominoes.

H.B. was preceded in death by his brothers, Eddie Halbert and Gaylon Halbert; and sisters, Irene Tatum, Virginia Saunders, and Jean Baron.

He is survived by his wife, DeAnn Halbert, of Round Rock; children, Leslie Higgins and Laura Halbert, of Austin, Robin Polk, of Rosebud, Adrianne Charfoos, of Chicago, Ill., Richard Halbert and Elizabeth Thigpen, of Chilton, Kristen Ryder, of Oakwood, and Will Halbert and Kirill Halbert, of Trinity; eight grandchildren; sister, Lynne Orr, of Jacksonville; and scores of nieces and nephews.
