Dear Joe,
Many thanks for Ronald's info on Parson Robert Bracewell, for the Joseph Benjamin B. Family Tree, which I did not have, and for Judith B. Smith phone number.
I called Judy immediately and we had a very pleasant chat. We plan to invite them down some Friday eve for dinner. Her husband is pastor of the 19th Avenue Baptist Church in San Francisco.
She had a recent letter from Byrda Lynn B. Lynn is now:
MRS. RON RATHBUN (This explains why
P. O. BOX 4223 we couldn't find her
KAILUA-KONA in L. A.)
HAWAII 96740
I will write to her re Reginald's Bracewell family papers.
The Joseph Benjamin tree needsd to be corrected. The Franklin David Higginbotham is Nona Sue's child rather than Judith's, and Judith's 3 children need to be added. Her youngest (10 mos. Old) is named Justin Bracewell Smith.
Rev. Smith is from Kentucky. He and Judy met at Baylor Univ. He went to seminary at Golden Gate our here. They are Southern Baptists.
There are some changes in the U. C. Bracewell tree:
- William Judson Isgett, b. 1889, Madison Co. died Oct 24 , 1980, at Madisonville. Would have been 91 on Dec. 10. He was Ophelia B's husband and U. C. B's son-in-law. Lived next door to Grandpa B. all of their married life of well over 50 yrs. A fine man.
- The wife of Gordon Morgan, Cisco, TX, was killed accidently by her own car 6 or 8 mos. ago. Got out to open a gate on their horse ranch and apparently the car jumped into gear. Gordon the son of Lillie B. and grandson of U. C. B.
Finished re-shingling our garage, a six week project. Am now installing a Franklin fireplace in our family room. Hope to get back to genealogy this winter.
Best wishes and again thanks! (Thanks also for the WATS call. Enjoyed.)
