Isham Alford

Notes:

Paulette Gilchrist shows him as a son of Archibald and Elizabeth ALFORD of North Carolina, and as born in Tennessee.

Other sources, most notably the Family Descendancy Report titled "Known Descendants of
Isham Alford & Anne Ferrell (1755 NC - 1832 GA)" which can be found onloine here:

http://www.alfordassociation.org/GENEALOGY/ISH755NC.pdf

These other sources instead have him listed as a son of Baldy Alford and grandson of Isham Alford and Anne Ferrell. This website is maintained by Janice Smith, a descendant. She states that Isham and Sylvia Anne Alford moved their family from St. Clair County, Alabama to Texas in 1854. They went to Texas crossing the Sabine River near Milam. They traveled across the Old San Antonio Road to what was then Washington County and settle at a little village called Evergreem about 12 miles from Giddings, now in Lee County, Sometime before 1860, Isham and Sylvia sold their land and moved their family to Sabine County in the piney woods of East Texas. Janice showsn that he was born ca 1815 in Georgia.

Wm. Thos. Arnold, Hemphill,was on a list of 11 members of the Sabine County Medical Society, June 1910, in the TEXA STATE JOURNAL OF MEDICINE, published in 1911. He was the Secretary.

According to "A Pictorial History of Sabine County, Texas" the Dr. W.T. Arnold Home was built circa 1912.

In his 2002 book, THE MYSTERY OF LADY BOUNTIFUL, Bob Bowman writes that a $5,000 bond was posted for Lillian Knox, accuses of murdering her husband, timber magnate Hiram Knox. The bond was singed by five Hemphill men, including Dr. Tom ARNOLD, a witness for the prosecution. The other four were E. P PADGETT, a lawyer; J.P. (sic) FULLER, who owned a drug store; L.E. PRATT, a merchant; and John W. MINTON, attorney for the Know family. Another press report listed S.R. Williams as surety. (Bowman, p. 105).

William married Sarah Pearl Fuller on 2 Dec 1906 in Sabine County, Texas. Sarah (daughter of James Easter "Bud" Fuller and Hannah Pinkney Deweese) was born on 13 Nov 1881 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 18 Jan 1957 in Harris County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.

Timber Growers to Honor Dr. Hiram Arnold

On Saturday, March 23, 1996 the Tri-County Timber Grower's Association will meet at the Community House in Center at 11 am.

Dr. Hiram Arnold of Hemphill will be honored for his many years of dedicated service to the Association and the timber industry.

SABINE COUNTY REPORTER 15 January 1997 "Back In Time--1996 One Year Ago"

Dr. Hiram P. Arnold of Six Miles was honored as Sabine County's "Citizen of the Year" by the Sabine County Chamber of Commerce. Linda Curtis Sparks delivered the keynote address at that annual awards and installation banquet.

DR. HIRAM P. ARNOLD

The son of a country doctor, Hiram Pinckney Arnold was to follow in the footsteps of his father. Born in the small East Texas town of Hemphill on August 17, 1917, Hiram was the third child of Dr. William Thomas Arnold Sr. and Hannah Pearl Fuller Arnold. The Arnold family included sister Doris and brothers Woodrow, Hugh, and Tom. Hiram graduated in 1933 from Hemphill High School. The Depression was on and Hiram was young, so he worked as a soda jerk at Hemphill Drug before moving to Nacogdoches in 1935 to attend Stephen F. Austin College. From SFA, Hiram transferred to the University of Texas at Austin. As is well known, he was a passionate lifelong Longhorn fan. Through wars, recessions and bouts of ill health, Hiram remained a realist as well as an optimist. The only thing that could lead him to real despair was the occasional loss on Thanksgiving Day of the traditional football game with Texas A&M.

From UT, Hiram moved to Galveston to attend the University of Texas Medical School from which he graduated in 1940. After medical school, Hiram moved to Houston where he did his internship and a residency at Hermann Hospital. It was at Hermann that Hiram met the beautiful young student nurse, Gloria Jean Rickabaugh. During the Second World War, Hiram joined the Army. As a Captain in the legendary 127th General Hospital, he was stationed in England and France. After returning from overseas, the young doctor married Gloria Rickabaugh on January 28, 1946. The couple recently celebrated their 60th Anniversary. Hiram and his young bride settled in Galveston, Texas where he did a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Texas Medical School under Dr. Willard R. Cooke. While at UTMB, he had the opportunity to work with many of his close friends from the 127th General Hospital. In 1947, Hiram and his associate Dr. William R. Knight opened a medical practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology in what was then the fledgling Houston Medical Center. There he began his long-time association with The Methodist Hospital. He was for seventeen years the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology and served a term as President of the Staff. During this time, the Methodist Hospital saw tremendous growth and the development of an international reputation. In 2006, Hiram and Gloria established at Methodist the Hiram and Gloria Arnold Urogynecology Lecture Endowment Fund.

Hiram and Gloria had their first son, Frank Rickabaugh in 1947 and in 1950 their second son, Forrest Douglas. Dr. Arnold practiced medicine in Houston for almost three decades. As a physician, he worked long hours but never lost his love for Obstetrics or his personal hostility to disease. He was a beloved physician, as attested to by the many patients who chose him to deliver all their children and by the willingness of his friends to entrust their wives and daughters to his care. He was a member of the Harris County Medical Society, the Texas Medical Association, the American Medical Association, and president for a term of the Texas Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Arnold was well known as a practical man and people often sought his advice when dealing with difficult problems. He was always ready to support projects he believed in. He and Gloria participated in the building of the J. R. Huffman Public Library in Hemphill and served on the Library Board for twelve years. Hiram was a mediocre golfer but became a much feared tennis opponent. Dr. Arnold enjoyed dealing in real estate and among his investments were properties he bought and leased out for cattle grazing along the two-lane, dirt shoulder road that was then called the Katy Highway and is now I-10 in the heart of Houston. In 1976, Dr. Arnold retired from medicine and devoted himself full time to his second career as a timber farmer in his beloved East Texas. He often said that a country boy had to move to the big city to make enough money to get back to the country. Hiram and Gloria were honored in 1991 as Tree Farmers of the Year. They contributed to the establishment of an Endowment Fund supporting a professorship in the Arthur Temple College of Forestry at Stephen F. Austin. Recently, Dr. Arnold sold most of his timber acreage but continued to operate the remaining tree farm until his death, Friday, November 28. He is survived by his wife Gloria, brother Tom, sons Rick and Forrest, and grandchildren Sam and Mason.
