William Allen Walters - WWI


Yes, Daddy was in the army in WWI.  He didn’t get overseas because the war was over before he was through training.  His brothers, Charlie and Robert and cousin Watson (I think) did get overseas.  (Many years after he was gone Mama was able to get a pension for the children left at home because of his service.  This helped a lot.  She was left with 6 children at home when he died of pneumonia.  Inez had already graduated from high school and gone to Houston to secretarial school.  She had to drop out and go to work full time after Daddy died in 1940.)

Also not only did Julia and I graduate from college, so did Hollis and Ralph.  How Mama was able to provide funds, I’ll never know.  I know they did some work during and between semesters but she probably had to provide some also.

James Morgan Walters' Poem


I READ IN THE BIBLE

I read in the Bible what Jesus promised, and did both to the living and the dead.
Makes me wonder if man will ever be satisfied.
Jesus turned the water into wine, that the thirsty Jews might be satisfied.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He multiplied the fishes and bread, that the hungry multitude might be fed.
That they might be satisfied, then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He made the blind to see and the deaf to hear, and the lame to walk, and the dumb to talk.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He healed the sick, he raised the dead, and preached the gospel to the poor.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He died and rose again, that you might die and do the same.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He assended to heaven, and the angels says that he is coming back again.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He said to the dead, “I’ll open your graves, I will bring you back alive, I will place you back in your own land.”
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

He is coming back to earth again, a thousand years of peace to reign.
Oh, yes, we will have a thousand years of righteous reign, to shout and praise our Priest and King.
Then what more could he do that he might satisfy you?

Oh! Yes, he is going to take away this strong heart of mine.
He is going to give me a new heart and a new mind.
He is going to wash me in pure water, he is going to make me fit to walk the golden streets, with my friends and loved ones there to meet, and I’ll be satisfied, oh, yes, then I’ll be satisfied.

Schwab City, Texas 1931


This picture is of the school in Schwab City, Texas 1931

-------------------------------------------------------

A Big Chief tablet and a number 2 pencil
A pair of scissors and a box of Crayons
Was all that you needed to start school

A biscuit sandwich in a used syrup bucket
Sometimes a home made cookie for a treat
On rare occasions a half of an apple or orange

Pack a hole in a biscuit and fill it full of syrup
Or maybe a cold, left over, baked sweet potato
Whatever we could find for an after school snack

There are a few chores to do out in the country
Feed the chickens, gather the eggs, slop the hogs
Milk the cow, work in the garden, bring in firewood

A fireplace in one room and kitchen stove in another
On a cold winter’s night you ran to get in bed
You woke up quickly when bare feet hit cold floor

Summer times were not any better for sleeping
Raise all the windows and hope for a good breeze
Misquito netting would add to the misery of the heat

Abraham Lincoln studied by the light of a fire
We did a little better with light from a coal oil lamp
No wonder that home work was so hard to get done

William Fussell


This information below from a Walters-Oliver-Tolar Reunion notice mailed in September 2002 by Patsy Ann Jackson. The picture is of the Findley Family from the 1953 W-O-T Reunion.
-------------------------------------------------------

I have written about John Phillip Tolar and his wife Canzetta Fussell in a previous newsletter. This letter will be about Canzetta Fussell’s parent’s - William Fussell Jr. and his wife Mary B Morris.
William Fussell is the son of William Fussell, Sr. born July 26, 1755 in NC and Mary Wilson born Dec 25, 1762. William Fussell, Jr. was born 1798 in georgia and married Mary B. Morris, born in 1802 in Georgia, on September 1821 in Washington, Parish, LA.
William enlisted in the War of 1812 on December 23, 1814 at Covington Louisiana and served under Captain William Beekam Company, Colonel Thomas Warner Regiment and was discharged at Camp Navy Yard on February 24, 1815 serving a total of 64 days.. William stated on his pension application: “At the time of the Battle of New Orleans I was at Camp Navy Yard on the Chefunky about 7 miles from its mouth. Our command was then sent across the Mississippi to reinforce Gen. Morgan who was camped about 6 miles below New Orleans on the west side of the river. A few days after the Battle of New Orleans General Morgan was ordered by General Jackson to reinforce him upon a given signal by crossing the river, advance and attack the enemy below New Orleans. No signal was given and during the night I saw camp fires on the east bank of the river and carriages & cannon by the aid of the campfire and the next day learned it was the enemy.”
William applied for and received Bounty land donations (land given to soldiers for a specified time of enlistment). William’s bounty land was located in Rankin County, Mississippi. William was in Tyler County, Texas by 1874 according to the dates on his pension application. William applied for his pension and on January 30, 1875 was granted a monthly pension of $8.00 per month from February 14, 1871.
William Fussell’s will was filed on September 7, 1875 in Tyler County, Texas. The will was filed under Index Jacket Number X-359. I have been to Tyler County several times and all the County Clerks will tell me is “There is no will in the box and we can only surmise that someone took it.” John Phillip Tolar is given as administrator of William’s will.
John Findley, a descendent, told me that William Fussell, Jr. sometimes referred to as “Big Daddy Fussell” was buried in Justice Cemetery, Northwest of Warren, Tyler Co., Texas in an unmarked grave.

Menard Chapel Cemetery


The Menard Chapel is located in the southwestern part of Polk County, Texas near Menard Creek and the Trinity River. The Menard’s Mill post office was established in 1838, but the name was changed to Menard’s Chapel in 1862. The chapel from which the town took its name was the Mount Gilead Baptist Church, which had been organized in 1854. In 1906 the Menard’s Chapel had four schools, with four teachers and ninety-one students.

-------------------------------------------------------
--- SOURCE UNKNOWN ---

The Menard Chapel history can be traced back to 1833.  Peter J. Menard and M. B. Menard came to Texas from Kaskaskia, Illinois.  They started a small community near Menard Creek.  Menard Chapel was near and old camp ground, in the vicinity of a road known as the Indian Trace (1)
    1.  Menard Chapel Cemetery consist of eight acres.  Polk County deed records show this land was owned by Joseph Rhoden when the first person was buried in what is now known as the Menard Chapel Cemetery. (2)  Ruth Nicholas, mother of Mary Jane Oliver, was buried there on March 1, 1876. (3)  Three known Confederate Soldiers are buried in this cemetery.  They are Matthew Franklin Oliver, John Lowe, and Samuel Wilson. (4)  Lowe, Oliver, Duff, Collins, Richardson, Bailey, Rhoden, Chambliss, Baxter and Steagall are a few of the names you will find there.
    On May 16, 1981, a Prepetual Care Fund was established for the care of the cemetery and church grounds.  A cemetery meeting is held annually in May.   The Mt. Gilliard Chruch building is used for these meetings.  The cemetery church & school is located approx. 14 miles Southwest of Livingston.  It is two miles off Farm Road 943 on the Menard Chapel Road.
    2.  The earliest history of a church being organized at Menard was in the early 1800's.  The church was a Missionary Baptist Church.  It was named Mt. Gillard Baptist Church. (1)  Minutes of the Union Baptist Association meeting at Bethel Baptist Church at Bold Springs in May, 1854 stated "The next meeting appointed at Mt. Gillard Missionary Church." (5)  The old church was a box building with the wall boards running vertically.  According to eighty year old Eddie Baxter, the present building was built in the early 1920's.  Brother Tom Lilley was the pastor at the time and helped with the construction.  This church was actively used for services until about 1983. The last pastor was Brother A. J. Castilow. Some of the previous preachers at Mt. Gilliard were three generations of the Duff Family. They were James E. Duff, Amos Duff, and Ferguson Duff. Brother W. D. Wadsworth and Tom Moye also pastored this church. Prayer was an integral part of the church. When the community was suffering from a drought, the men of the church met to pray for rain. Bro. Tom Moye ask Bro. Morgan Walters to lead the prayer. The next day a BIG, BIG rain came.
3. Menard Chapel School was organized after the Civil war. (6) Mrs. E. O. Rhoden conveyed two acres of land for the Baptist Church and School. (7) School was taught in the church building. Water was used from a spring on the property behind the church. The spring is still there today. Early records from the Polk County School Supt. office show that in 1873 Menard Creek School received $28.15 to be credited on books. In 1886, the record shows Menard Chapel School received $493.58. T.J. Franklin and B. F. Collins were trustees. (8) “In 1887, V. A. Collins took an exam to teach the school at Menard’s Chapel. He taught in the fall, after crops were gathered.” (1) Mr. Collins later became an attorney and was elected to serve as a Senator representing Polk County. A. A. Duff was another early teacher at Menard Chapel School. He taught school for forty years in Polk County. Some of the students who attended Menard Chapel School were Robert, Henry, Harren, and Watson Walters. Berry lowe Davis, Lyester, Josephine, Gabriel Collins, Willis, Patience and Dace Collins, Polk Mooore, Travie Murphy Baxter, Lizza Murphy baxter, Exer Griffin Walters, Francis Lilley Bailey, Sam Jack Murphy, Arbelia Murphy Oliver and several Duff’s.
Menard Chapel Community was a lively place to live. Dances and log-rollings were common forms of entertainment and work. “Mrs. Sam Morrison remembered that the women cooked an enormous amount of food for dinners and mid-night lunches. She saw a twelve pound cake that was left untouched from one log-rolling, dinner and dance. Mrs Matthew Oliver once cooked a barrel of flour into bread and cakes for one such occasion.” (6)
The cemetery and Church are beautiful, restful places. Green grass and beautiful flowers abound at Menard Chapel.

Menard Chapel Cemetery Marker
Texas Historical Commission
Menard Chapel Church, School, and Cemetery

Michel B. Menard, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and his brother Pierre J. settled here in 1833.  According to local tradition sometime prior to 1854 the Mt. Gileard Baptist Church built a small sanctuary here in Menard Chapel, a farm and ranch community which developed along Menard Creek.
    Shortly after the Civil War ended Mrs. E. O. Rhoden donated 2 acres here for church and school purposes.  The Baptist congregation constructed a new church building which for many decades served as a house of worship as well as a schoolhouse for the Menard Chapel School.  Early teachers A.A.Duff also served as Pastor.  Another early teacher, V.A.Collins, went on to serve Polk County as Texas State Senator.  The school was discontinued in 1935 when it was consolidated with the Livingston Independent School District.
    The cemetery was established with the burial of Rutha Nicholas in 1876.  Church and cemetery acreage was set aside in a deed executed by Eli and Unity Rhoden in 1902.  A new sanctuary, built here in the 1920s, served as a place of worship until 1983.  The cemetery is maintained with perpetual care funds by the Menard Chapel Cemetery Committee.  Veterans of the Civil War, World War I, and World War II, are buried here.
