INDEX
Notes
He lived to be 84. He was a boy of 17 when Alabama succeeded from the
Union. He enlisted at once in Shannon's scouts and for four years
followed the sword of General Wheeler in the campaign of Chicamauga,
Chattanooga and Atlanta. He was in the force that fought against
General Sherman in Georgia. After the war he settled in Gladsden, AL.
After the war he traveled selling sewing machines with his brother. I
believe he might have met his wife during his travels. He was living with
his wife's family in 1870 in Etowa County, AL, according to the census.
He and his wife had thirteen children. He worked in the lumber industry.
He had a hobby of calligraphy and wrote beautiful lettered poems to his
wife Martha. He and his wife moved to Oneonta, AL in 1875. At this
time there was only six stores, one church(Methodist), one doctor, and a
hotel there. He was a wagon maker and farmer in Oneonta. They moved
to Houston Texas from Mobile Alabama in 1906 and he opened the first
movie theater, in that city, the Crescent Theater where the State
National Bank Building was later built. After that he and his wife spent
most of their time visiting their eleven living children and their
families, coming back to Houston in the winters.
He died at age 84 in Houston on Nov. 29, 1930. He was the last of
Shannon's scouts to die. An article in the Houston Chronicle about his
death was entitled "Taps for the Last Shannon Scout."
