Elizabeth Wooldridge

Notes:

Said to be the sister of ex Mayor A. P. Wooldridge of Austin, Texas. He lived at 3122 Wheeler Street, Austin. If she is related, she is more likely an Aunt or Cousin, as Alexander Penn Wooldridge, mayor of Austin, was born on 1847 in New Orleans, and therefore would be much younger than Elizabeth.

Elizabeth married Thompson Allen on 8 Feb 1821 in South Carolina. Thompson (son of Arva Allen and Polly Clarke) was born on 22 Dec 1802 in Abbeville County, South Carolina; died on 17 Dec 1870 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She was known by her middle name of Cornelia. Sometimes also shown as Cassie or Kennelia. At the time of the 1880 and 1900 Sabine County, Texas census, she lived alone.

Ludeshia married Annanias Oliver in 1840 in Sabine County, Texas. Annanias (son of Nancy (The Widow) Oliver) was born in 1822 in Tennessee; died before 1860. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Said to have been born in the Old District 96 of South Carolina.

Per FIRST SETTLERS OF SABINE COUNTY he received 320 acres of land on March 4, 1844

It is currently not known where he was located in 1840. There is a John W. Allen listed on the Carroll Parish, Louisiana census at that time. However, that John Allen was born sometime between 1800 and 1810, and has two daughters over the age of 10. It is not currently known if they are the same man.

On the 1854 Scholastic Census, his children Jas T. and Martha (s/b Margaret Elizabeth) were shown as being enrolled

In YELLOWED PAGES: VOLUME XXIV, No. 1, Spring, 1994, page 43, a list of Sabine County Voter's registrations are shown. Information about J.W. Allen is shown as follows:

January 29, 1868: 478 J.W. Allen Pct. Mi3, Years in State--27, Years in County--27, Years in Pct--27, Native of South Carolina.

According to the book "Selected Tax Rolls of Shelby County, Texas 1837,1845,1855,1865,1875,1885," a J.W. Allen paid taxes in Shelby County in 1885.

In her notes, Kate Allen Tirado erroneously list her uncle as John T. Allen, and shows his place of death as Sabine County.

*Jane is the daughter of J.W. Allen by wife Caroline. Jane was born in December 1850, and the 1850 census was taken in October 1850. Therefore, Caroline would have been between 6 and 7 months pregnant at the time of the census. The 1860 census was taken in June, before Jane had reached her 10th birthday.

#The mother of Susan Allen is not known. It does not seem likely that she is the daughter of John's second wife, Margaret Harvey Allen, who had moved back home with their one year old daughter, Mary Allen. Did John have a daughter by a woman other than his then wife, perhaps leading to their separation? Or is Susan perhaps a niece or other family member? Or are Mary/Susan the same child, listed in both households?

His former wife, Margaret, and his daughter Mary are living in another household in 1860, as follows:

Myrtle Springs receives marker

An official Texas Historic Cemetery Marker was dedicated April 28, at Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery. The day was also the cemetery's annual homecoming......

The newly placed marker reads:
GENEVA MYRTLE SPRINGS CEMETERY

Situated North of the small, rural community of Geneva, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery serves as the primary resting place for pioneers, settlers of the area, and their descendants. Originally granted to Juan Ignatino Pifermo in 1794, the town of Geneva grew in the 1820s when pioneers began to settle there from the east. Geneva was first known as Shawnee village and later as Jimtown, after two early settlers of the are, Jim Halbert and Jim Willis. Originally surveyed for Daniel F. Renfro in 1838, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery is comprised of land granted by Levi T. ALLEN in 1879 for use as a church and cemetery. The Geneva Baptist Church was first located on the present day cemetery site, but later moved south of the area. In addition, a school was once located near the cemtery near Myrtle Springs, organized by William Thomas Arnold.

The general landscaping of the cemetery is traditional with brick, marble, sandstone, grantie, wood, and metal grave markers. The first marked grave is that of William J. JONES from 1888, but Bible records indicate that there were earlier unmarked graves, including that of Wiley William CROW (1845-1877). Among the many pioneer families interred at this cemetery, there are veterans of the Civil War, including Wiley CROW, Seth Marion LAYFIELD (1833-1906), and James T. MEADOR (1845-1933), as well as veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Iraq War. Burials for members of the fraternal organizations such as Woodmen of the World are present. Today, the Geneva Myrtle Springs Cemetery Association maintains and cares for the cemtery, while also serving the community of Geneva. Historic Texas Cemetery -2010.

Levi married Talitha Halbert on 23 Dec 1857 in Sabine County, Texas. Talitha was born on 15 Jun 1832 in Alabama; died on 8 Jun 1905; was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Lampasas County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Levi married Jane C. Jones on 22 Nov 1905 in Sabine County, Texas. Jane was born on 11 Nov 1850 in Georgia; died on 11 May 1924 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Myrtle Springs Cemetery, Geneva, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Enrolled in the District 10 School in Sabine County in 1854. In a biography of his family, written by his daughter Katherine Allen Tirado, it was noted that he "was about 8 years old (when his mother died) and he had a step-mother [Jane Russell Payne] that was very severe and the loss of their mother was a great sorrow to them."

A veteren of the Civil War, per "Citizen Soldiers of Sabine County, Texas" by Robert Cecil McDaniel. His tombstone is inscribed Miss Pvt Co F 11 Regt Tx Inf CSA

In the Affidavit of Mrs. C. D. Gooch, she noted that W. W. Allen lived in Lampasas County, Texas as of 1910. Other sources list him dying circa 1900. He actually died in 1914.

Sally had notes from her her aunt Kate Mellon Allen, who married a Tirado. Kate indicated that William Washington Allen was born at the home of his parents, Thompson and Elizabeth Allen, in Noxba, Mississippi.

(Medical):yDNA results

A direct male descendant of William Washington Allen's, born with the Allen surname, volunteered to submit a yDNA sample to FamilyTreeDNA.com.

His kit number, in the name of William Allen, is 237184.

The results showed that he was in the R1b1a2a1a1b haplogroup.

He was a 37 marker match to the following :

Samual Doyle Allen Jr (Ancestor Ephraim P. Allen, b. 1820 North Carolina)
Ronald Lee Allen (Ancestor Edmond Allen)
Henry Walton Allen (Ancestor not indicated)
Jerome Brady (Ancestor Richard Brady b. ca. 1805 Co. Caven or Claire, Ireland)
Williams Adams (Ancestor William Adams b. 1816)

Bill Adams emailed the following about his "Adams" lineage: "I can trace my lineage back to William Adams born in Mecklenburg, VA in 1816 or 1820. I know his mother was Sarah/Sally "Adams". (And I think he may have had brothers Alfred and James). I cannot determine who his father was. His grandfather appears to be James Adams who fought in the Revolution. Sarah/Sally having a last name of "Adams" is weird.

Due to the exact match between us, I am wondering whether Sarah/Sally actually had a husband named "Allen" who died or something. Maybe Sarah/Sally went to live with her "Adams" dad for this or some other reason and the kids were raised with an Adams last name. I sayy this because it seems weird to me that Sarah/Sally's husband would also be the same last name of "Adams".

You show your earliest ancestor being 1820, but I do know that the "Adams" in Mecklenburg lived on "Allen's" creek. Also, one of them married an "Allen" (maybe it was William, I can't remember for sure.) I know there were "Allens" living in close proximity to the "Adams" in Mecklenburg, VA."

William married Amanda Halbert about 1858 in Sabine County, Texas. Amanda (daughter of Joel Halbert and Tabitha Elizabeth Cox) was born about 1841 in Texas; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William married Elizabeth Rebecca Maund on 21 Apr 1870 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas. Elizabeth (daughter of William Wallace Maund and Caroline Young) was born on 30 Nov 1845 in Georgia; died on 15 Sep 1929 in Temple, Bell County, Texas; was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Lampasas County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Enrolled in the District 10 School in Sabine County in 1854.

Mary married William Washington "Dick" Halbert, Sr. on 9 Sep 1857 in Sabine County, Texas. William (son of Joel Halbert and Tabitha Elizabeth Cox) was born on 17 Jul 1837 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas; died on 12 Jan 1926 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Halbert Cemetery (Joel Halbert Cemetery / Fox Hill Cemetery), Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Enrolled in the District 10 School in Sabine County in 1854. Sharon Speights Varney quotes Virgie Collier Speights as writing that when Jerusha changed religions, joining the Campbellites (forerunner of the Church of Christ), whe was denounced by family and friends as "a heathen" and "no longer a Christian."

Jerusha married Green William Speights in Nov 1865 in Sabine County, Texas. Green (son of William Myrick Speights and Rebecca Hopkins) was born on 11 Jul 1839 in Mississippi; died on 23 Oct 1922 in Texas; was buried in Speights Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Was not enrolled in school in 1854 per the school census, though his older sisters Jerusha and Mary were enrolled.

Family/Spouse: Mary E. Dorsey. Mary (daughter of James H. Dorsey and Lucinda Reeves) was born about 1846 in Alabama; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Margaret married William Morrison Fullen about 1868 in Sabine County, Texas. William (son of James C. Fullen and Rebecca Bal(L)\(Dwin)) was born on 16 Sep 1844 in County Of Sabine, Republic Of Texas; died on 28 Jul 1926 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her middle initial is shown sometimes as C and sometimes as K. It is not known what her actual middle name was.

Nina Fuller always said that her grandmother, Jane (Allen) Fullen was "half Indian." It has not been proved if this is true, or merely a legend. The name ALLEN appears to be of common use among the Cherokees, and perhaps this is where either the actual Indian blood, or legend of Indian blood, came from. The mtDNA of a child of Nina Fuller, a direct female descendant of Jane, was classified as H. This is the most common mtDNA in Europe, and not one associated with Native American lineage. If Jane was part Indian, it was through her father's family, and not in her direct maternal line.

There is a photo of Jane Fullen, presumably taken shortly before her death in 1926, in a black silk bonnet. This bonnet was given by Jane to her granddaughter Nina (Fuller) McLemore. Nina's daughter, Evon Tisdale gave the bonnet to Melinda (McLemore) Strong.

(Research):A photo of her headstone on Find A Grave appears to be incorrect in listing her birthday as 5 December 1849. Blanche Finley Toole showed this instead as 5 December 1850, supported by census records below:

*Jane is the daughter of J.W. Allen by wife Caroline. Jane was born in December 1850, and the 1850 census was taken in October 1850. Therefore, Caroline would have been between 6 and 7 months pregnant at the time of the census. The 1860 census was taken in June, before Jane had reached her 10th birthday.

#The mother of Susan Allen is not known. It does not seem likely that she is the daughter of John's second wife, Margaret Harvey Allen, who had moved back home with their one year old daughter, Mary Allen. Did John have a daughter by a woman other than his then wife, perhaps leading to their separation? Or is Susan perhaps a niece or other family member? Or are Mary/Susan the same child, listed in both households?

Notes:

His younger half-sister, Kate Allen Tirado, writes that he died of complications of pneumonia, compounded by his doctors accidentially poisoning him. She wrote "he was a beautiful young man and so good and true, he died singing "Jesus Lover of My Soul, Let Me to Thy Bosom Fly." Before dying, he regained consciousnes and told his father and loved ones to meet him in Heavan.

Notes:

Could she be the mother of Frankie Sims? In her biography of the William Washington Allen family, Katherine Allen Tirado, a younger half sister of Abbie Tabitha Allen, writes that "Little Frankie Sims died March 12, 1884 age 4 years old. He was a little curly head darling, the most precious little boy. Nephew of Frank D. Allen." Abbie would have been old enough to have a son born in 1880, none of her younger half sisters would have been. Also, Frank and Abbie were the only two known children born to William Washington Allen and his first wife, Amanda Halbert.

Notes:

His sister, Kate Allen Tirado wrote that he was not quite five years old when he died. "He was considered a perfect child, so good that the neighbors would tell my mother he was not for this world. At 4 he would ride with his Uncle Levi to Church and it was many miles and he didn't eat a bit while there; and would sit in the chair and bow his head as though a Man. He was very religious so young. And in the yard he would pick up every nail and save, he was so smart. He died in a few days from conjestion. Had three doctors with him. He would pull his sister in a little red wagon."

Notes:

The information which I have on this line was provided by Virginia Meador Cox LeMay. Unfortunately, I have lost contact with Virginia and cannot provide you with a means to contact her.

Her parents were Lonzo Horne Meador, b: 1888 and Jeanne Glynn McMurtry [adopted name of Wiseman] b: 1892

Lonzo Horne Meador's parents were: Martha Ann Oliver and James Thomas Meaodor. She listed no information on the Meadors beyond her father, Lonzo's birth year 1888 as he abandoned his family.

Martha Ann Oliver, who married James Thomas Meador, daughter of Anenias G. Oliver [DRT], born in 1822, TN. and Cassie Kennelia Allen, born 1822/24 Meridian MS, died April 7, 1910 in Geneva, TX, married ca 1838 in Milam, TX.

Cassie's parents were: Thompson Allen [DRT], b: Dec 22, 1802 in Elbert County, GA, d: Oct 18, 1870 in Geneva, TX, came to TX 1841 [see DRT], married Feb 8, 1821 [location not stated] to Elizabeth Wooldridge [DRT], b: March 7, 1804 in Abbeville Dist. S.C., d: Nov 25, 1847, Pendleton, TX, Sabine County.

Elizabeth's parents were:
John Wooldridge, b: 1776 in Surry Co. NC, d: March 7 1817 in Abbeville Dist. SC, married 1803 [location not stated] to Martha "Patsy" Ellington, b: 1770 in Amelia Co VA, d: Sept 5, 1825 in Abbeville Dist SC

John Wooldridge's parents:
Gibson Wooldridge b: ca 1755 in Chesterville Co VA
d: Oct 1816 in Abbeville Dist SC, married 1775 to

#1 Lucy Elizabeth Hudspeth, b: 1760, d: before 1815 Abbeville Dist SC
#2 Mrs. Lees Irby Meriwether [1775-1816]

Gibson Wooldridge [DAR] was the son of:
William Wooldridge [DAR] b: ca 1728 in Henrico Co. VA, d: July 25 1798 in Elbert Co GA, married 1750 in Chesterfield Co to
Sarah Flournoy, b: ca 1732 in Henrico Vo Va, d: May 25 1806 in Elbert Co GA

Martha "Patsy" Ellington was the daughter of:
Jeremiah Ellington [DAR] b: ca 1731 in Amelia Co VA
d: 1801, Abbeville Dist SC, married 1767 to
Frances "Fanny" Jones, b: 1737, d: Nov 9 1801

The fact that Virginia has noted DRT [Daughters of the Republic of Texas] and the DAR [Daughters of the American Revolution] would suggest you might find additional material with these two organizations.

Notes:

Not listed on the 1880 census with her parents, the only child was an 11 year old Theodosia. Did she die? Marry young? Or could she and Theodosia actually be one and the same?

Notes:

Not listed on the 1870 census, though she was shown as age 11 in 1880. Could this be the same daughter as Molly, shown as age 4 in 1870?

W.A. Fullen, 72 Dies of Stroke at Newton Home: Services for Father of Three Beaumonters to be held this afternoon at Antioch Church Near Bronson (Newton, Texas, Oct 16 SPL):

W.A. Fullen, 72, father of Otis E. Fullen, W. B. Fullen and Mrs. Basil Kee of Beaumont, died of a stroke at his home on a farm near here early Saturday morning. Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the Antioch Baptist Church in Sabine county, eight miles east of Bronson with Rev. Mr. Harrell of Newton and Rev. Jack Lee of Farrsville officiating. Burial will be in the family plot in the Gravel Hill community. Mr. Fullen was married three times. His first wife was Miss Minnie Ferguson and of this marriage the following six sons and daughters survive: Ferman Fullen of Port Arthur, W. V. and Otis E. Fullen of Beaumont, Mrs. Basil Kee of Beaumont, Mrs. Kelly Fogg of New Orleans, LA, and Mrs. Charles Adkins of El Paso. Mr. Fullen was then married to Miss Nettie Weaver and four children of this union survive. They are Mrs. Ramsey Simmons, Mrs. Ramsey Smith, Mrs. J.R. Bobbitt and J. Burdis Fullen, all of Newton County. Mr. Fullen's third wife, the former Mrs. Emma Weaver, to whom he was married 20 years ago, survives, as well as a number of grandchildren. Pallbearers at the services will be five sons-in-law, Kelley Fogg, Ramsey Simmons, Ramsey Smith, Basil Kee and J. B. Bobbitt and a brother-in-law, Hampton Boyett (husband of Mittie WEAVER). (Hand written on the bottom of the clipping was Enterprise 10/17/47, however, both Pam Mahon and his tombstone confirm his date of death as 16 October 1943).

The family moved to Newton County circa 1925.

Notes:

On his Texas Death Certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, he is shown as an Insurance Agent, and married to a Muriel. The informant is shown as Hesta Fullen, probably his daughter Hester? It is noted, in error, that both of his parents, William Fullen and Elizabeth Allen, were born in Tennessee.

Washington and his wife and daughter were living with his parents at the time of the 1910 Sabine County census. They had been married 5 years, and were the parents of one child, still living.

(Medical):See attached sources.

Washington married Muriel C. Eppes about 1905. Muriel was born on 19 Apr 1887 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 19 Aug 1969 in Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

After Celeste's death, it appears that James and his two children moved in with his parents. Jame's Tombstone inscription reads "Teacher-Literaturen-Scripturan"

The Biennial Report of the Texas Secretary of State, 1897, lists a "James Fullen" as JP #6, Tebo (p. 180).

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Evon Tisdale gave Melinda McLemore Strong a brown dress with black ribbons that had belonged to Viola. It is in very fragile condition.

Her tombstone is inscribed "Resting in Heaven"

Viola married Joseph Thomas Fuller on 22 May 1889 in Sabine County, Texas. Joseph (son of John Brooks Fuller and Mary A. Watson) was born on 4 Nov 1869 in Malvern, Hot Springs County, Arkansas; died on 28 Nov 1950 in Rosevine, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Rosevine Cemetery, Rosevine, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On his Texas Death Certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, he is shown as a Trucker, and the son of John A. Fullen. His mother's name was listed as "not known." His death certificate shows his date of birth as June 27, 1875 instead of June 25. The informant is Mrs. Allie Miller, presumably his daughter.

(Medical):See attached sources.

John married Nora Virginia Eddings on 11 Dec 1897 in Sabine County, Texas. Nora (daughter of David K. Eddings and Sarah Geneva Fussell) was born on 14 Nov 1877 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 15 Nov 1967 in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to the following marriage information, Birdwell, R.D. to A.A. Fullen 7 Mar 1898 by W.T. Harvil, M.G. The 1900 Census shows A.A. Fullen to be named Alice A., and that she was born in approximately 1881. I am assuming she is a daughter of John and Jane Fullen, and not of William and Elizabeth Fullen, for the following reasons:

1) There appear to have been only two Fullen Household's in Sabine County in 1881; that of William Fullen and that of John Fullen. It is assumed one of these two men was her father.

2) Alice would have been too young to be listed with either Fullen family in 1880. The census for 1890, when she was age 9, was destroyed. She was married in 1898, so is listed with her husband in 1900. This is why she will not be found listed with either family on census records.

3) According to the Sabine County 1910 Federal Census, John and Jane Fullen had been married for 42 years. They had had 9 children, 7 of whom were still living. By examining other census information, eight of these nine total children can be accounted for. I believe Alice to be the ninth. William and Margaret had also been married for a total of 42 years. They had 6 children, 5 of whom were still living. By examining other census records, all six can be accounted for.

4) On the 1890 Scholastic Census, Lena, 13, Ginnie 11, and Washington 8 were recorded as attending No. 57, Bethany. Surely if Alice were one of their siblings, she would have been in attendance as well. She and Washington were both born circa 1881. By way of contrast, none of the children of John and Jane Fullen were recorded on the 1890 Scholastic Census. Presumably they were needed at home for farmwork.

Alice married Rush David Birdwell on 7 Mar 1898 in Sabine County, Texas. Rush (son of James Andrew Birdwell and Mary Alice Cogburn) was born on 19 Dec 1877 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas; died on 14 May 1966 in Weslaco, Hidalgo County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

A digital image of her actual Texas Death certificate is viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976. She was shown as a housewife, and the daughter of John W. Fullen. The informant was Beatrice Becton, presumably her daughter.

Daisie married James Levi Becton on 3 Dec 1905 in Sabine County, Texas. James (son of Levi Edward Becton and Emily A. Humphreys) was born on 25 Dec 1883 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 29 Jul 1961 in Houston, Harris County, Texas; was buried in Rosevine Cemetery, Rosevine, Sabine County, Texas.

Notes:

Wiley was a contractor for the Highway department, according to the 1920 census. Henry Wright, who also worked for the Highway department, was shown as a boarder in Wiley's home in 1920.

Notes:

His Texas Death Certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, show that he was a retired poultry farmer. The informant was his daughter, Mrs. Elvin Edgar.

Evon was listed as a "sister-in-law." Could this be the same Evon? If so, how was the 32 year old Annie related to her? Could she have been a half sister? Or is she an aunt? Or are these two different Evon Allens?

Notes:

I am assuming that James Ferman Halbert was listed in the 1900 census as James T. Halbert, a son of William Washington Halbert and Mary Chambers. Per the 1900 census, he was born circa 1892, which would make him approximately two years older than his wife. The middle intial T and F could be easily confused.

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he listed his date and place of birth as 11 July 1891 in Milam, Texas. He was a farmer, employed by W. W. Halbert, presumably in father, of Milam. He had a wife and one child listed as dependants. He was of Medium heighth and build, with gray eyes and brown hair. His application was completed on June 5, 1917.

Bernie Thacker thinks that his grandfather, James Ferman Halbert, "just might be the same. In the listing that you send there was a Willie C. Halbert and I have since found out that my grandfather (James F or T) did have a brother named Willie."

This should be verified by a birth or death certificate if possible.

Notes:

Io Halbert McIlhaney, 97, of Lubbock passed away on Monday, May 3, 2004, following a brief illness at her longtime home at Carillon Village.

She was born the fifth of nine children to Levi Thompson Halbert and Mary Ann Armstrong Halbert on Sept. 23, 1906 in Milam, Sabine County. Io graduated from Milam High School in 1924 and received an Elementary Teaching Certificate from Stephen F. Austin State College in 1926. She taught school in the Houston area for several years and held a Lifetime Teaching Certificate from the State of Texas. She met Joe S. McIlhaney, owner of McIhaney Creamery in Lubbock, during one of his frequent business trips to Southeast Texas. They married in September of 1934. He preceded her in death in 1999. A daughter, JoAnne Conely, also preceded her in death.

Io was a woman of extraordinary abilities and energy. Her many activities and interests included membership in the Lubbock Women's Club, the Lubbock Women's Forum, and the Allegro Music Club. She was continually involved in the PTA while her children were in school. She served as president of Carroll Thompson PTA, president of the Lubbock City Council PTA, and received life membership in the Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers. Community activities gave her great pleasure, particularly her dedicated service to the Lubbock Well Baby Clinic and her longtime volunteer work as a docent at the Western Heritage Center.

She later received a lifetime membership in the West Texas Museum Association. Io was a faithful and involved member of the Lubbock First Baptist Church from the very beginning of her life in Lubbock. She was active in the Women's Missionary Union and taught a women's Sunday school class for many years. She was a longtime member of the church choir and in her latter years loved being a member of the church's Prime Time Singers. Above all, Io was sustained by her joyous love of the Lord and devotion to her family.

It has been said that an important part of life is just "being there," and Io was always there - for her family, for her friends, for her church, for people who needed her, and for the entire Lubbock community. In recognition of her years of interests and service she was nominated for, and given, the "Outstanding Older Texas Award" by the Governor of Texas.

Io is survived by a daughter, Nancy J. Rainwater and her husband, Clois, of Honey Grove; three sons, Joe S. McIlhaney, Jr., M.D. and his wife, Marion, of Austin, Richard G. McIlhaney and his wife, Martha, of Copper Canyon, and David L. McIlhaney and his wife, Jane, of Ventura, Calif.; a sister, Lollie Lee of Waco; 14 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Friday, May 7, 2004, at the Ford Chapel of First Baptist Church with the Rev. John H. Ballard officiating. Interment will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park under the direction of Sanders Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 6 until 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the funeral hom e. Pallbearers will be Jason McIlhaney, Scott McIlhany, Kevin McIlhany, Mark Connell, and David Lutz. The family would like to thank the staff of Carillon Village for the love and excellent care provided to their mother during the last seventeen years, and particularly the staff of Carillon House, who cared for her during her final days. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Carillon Foundation.

Io married Joe Singleton McIlhaney, Sr. in Sep 1934. Joe was born on 18 Oct 1902 in Gholson, McLennan County, Texas; died on 28 Nov 1999 in Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas; was buried in Resthaven Memorial Park, Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
