Well,
George used to go after his cows, and young Mrs. Searcy went for theirs,
the pastures adjoining, and the end of it was, they ran away to California.
Pretty hard on Mrs. George, with eight kids and expecting...she nearly
died. Her father and Mr. Searcy took after the runaways, and found where
they were, but George heard them coming and took out, but they got the
wife and took her home. Later George sent for his wife and kids and they
all came to California, so I never saw them, but they had thirteen kids
in all, so I heard. As that was several generations ago, am not surprised
there's lots of McCords out there. Kenneth met two of the boys, older
men then, in Healdsburg. Mr. Searcy was real well-to-do, and I heard
that she (the young wife) influenced him to leave his property to the
grandson, which they raised, instead of to Will.
Lee's father, John Morrison
McCord, married Mary Ellen Short, a school teacher. They had nine children:
Lora, Charles, Eva Alette, Bertha, Harry Lee, Frank, Estella, Ethel and
Adah.
One of Mary's (Short) sisters
married a man named Coker, and had two boys, dying when the last one was
born. Coker took one boy, Oral, with him and left the baby with Mrs.
McCord, Lee's mother. Never did come for him, so they raised him. That
was Charlie Coker.
Another of Mary's sisters
married a Skinner and had one boy Walter, and three girls: Janet, Lulu
and Avis, and she died. Granville Clark took the boy, but he was pretty
bad, and the last I heard of him, he was killed while with a circus in
Omaha. Janet, who couldn't walk, stayed with her grandparents, the Shorts.
She got a wheelchair, and education, and a job in a store keeping accounts.
Lulu stayed with another sister of Mrs. McCords, a Mrs. Willets, and married
Art James, and had two boys called them Fred and Jake. Avis married Fred
Snodderley. I think there was a brother of the mother too, for there
were two Short boys, cousins of Lee. Frank Short was secretary to Andrew
Carnegie, and Merton, who ran for President once on some minor party ticket...was
a minister too, I think.
The oldest child in the
McCord family was LORA, who married Granville Clark, and I've already
told of their family. Next was CHARLES who died when small. Next was
EVA ALETTE, who was a great help to the family, as her father was sick
so much. She did sewing. Married late in life, to Arthur Smith, who's
real name was something like Sawngris, but Smiths raised him. He wasn't
much liked by the family.
BERTHA married Marquis
DeLafayette Williams. Was called "Lafe", was real likable.
They had eight children: Faye, Alta Fern, Perry McCord, Harry, who died
when a baby, Loran (Mike), Mabel, Ralph and Pearl. Faye married--something
like Wolcott or Walcott. Her first baby was tiny and didn't live long.
When her next one was born the Doctor seeme to ignore it, but Faye prayed
so earnestly for its life and Bertha worked with it and it lived. But
maybe that was a mistake, as it was never normal, and last I knew it was
in Glenwood, Iowa (institution). Then she had Harry Lafe, who was all
right, but the next time she and the baby both died. She had T.B.
Fern married Albin Carlson
and there was several children. Virginia Russell, Viola and Paul, and
maybe more. They lived in Red Oak, Iowa and I don't know much about them.
Perry eloped with a girl,
but her father had them stopped. Later he married Roxie, who had been
married before. I heard her first man was a drunkard, and finally she
tied him up in the bedclothes and took a buggy whip to him and then left.
No children. Perry fell with the top of a windmill, and it left him a
stiff leg.
Mike married Lois Irvin, had
three children, Mike died of heart attack.
Lora Lee married a farmer
up by Clarinda, name of Pugh, or some such...Pauline married an airman,
don't recall the name. Charles, the last I heard, was still with Lois
who runs the Telephone Central in Coin, Iowa. Mable was the next of Bertha's
children. Was such a pretty little blond. Was Kenneth's favorite
cousin when they were kids. Married Kennard Meiers, had one girl, Theda,
and one boy, Leland. Don't know who Theda married, but Leland was in
the service and married a Greek girl.
Pearl was the next, married
a McGinness, had Darlene and Jimmy. This man cooked for the railroad,
and they left the children with Ralph sometimes, while she traveled around
with him. They were in Portland a while, I tried to find them, but couldn't.
Last I heard they were in Omaha, and Pearl was poorly. Ralph was the
youngest Williams. The woman he lived with couldn't marry, as she couldn't
get a divorce, so I heard. They had three children: Billy, Beverly and
Della. I finally saw where they were married (in the paper) and soon
divorced. I heard Billy was sent to a home for boys. Ralph married again,
and also kept Pearl's kids, but he died of heart trouble. I heard the
girls didn't llke their stepmother, and left to go to their mother, only
to find she was a prostitute. So, came back. Too darned bad! Don't
know what they did then. End of Bertha's.
HARRY LEE was the next
McCord child. Was the only blond baby they had. Didn't get much schooling,
didn't like grammer, so his Dad told the teacher he didn't have to take
it. Got to be a steam engineer with a thrashing machine. Also did carpenter
work. Was a fine hand with horses.
FRANK was next. He took
to painting early and stuck with it. Was very neat and conventional,
and married Lillian Gibson. No children. Died of heart attack on way
to church one Sunday.
ESTELLA MAUDE married Andrew
Turner. Had six children: Marvin (Doll), Tal, Leora, Florene, Byron
and Pierce. Florene died in her teens, and I don't know where the boys
are. Think Marvin was at Fayette, Missouri. Leora married a Todd and
had several children. Seems to me she lived in Omah or Council Bluffs.
ETHEL was just a day younger
than I. Born February 5, 1883. Married Hollie Ecker. They had nine
children, and lost one at birth: Orrie, Marjorie, Pearl, Thelm and Zelma
(twins), Verlee, Grace and Geraldine. Orrie married Lola May McCumber
and had three boys, Larry, Gary and Kenneth. Lary and Gary both married,
but Kenny had something wrong with his back and died young. Marjorie
was next, but when they had measles, she had pneumonia and died. Then
Pearl, she married an Adkins, had one boy named Max. Then the twins,
Zelma and Thelma (they called them Jimmy and Sammy). I think one married
a Hull and one a Ray, but not sure, and think one of them had a child
or two. Next was Verlee, who married a Weland, I think. And Grace, who
married a Carlson. These two have families, but I don't know them. And
Geraldine, married a Richardson, who was related to the Jackson's that
I used to know, and they have one girl, Marlee.
Ethel's children were interestingly
diverse. Orrie was blond, Marjorie was brunette, Pearl was a redhead,
and the twins blond, Verlee and Grace brunette, and Geraldine had reddish
brown hair.
ADAH was the last of the
McCord children, except one baby who died at birth. Married Arthur Clark,
think I told about them.
Charlie Coker, the cousin
they raised, married Grace Carpenter. They had a girl, Anna May, who
was kinda odd and she married Charlie Turpin, who was just as odd. One
boy, Oral, married Ira Gate's grandaughter.
I have been told the McCords
were of Scotch descent, and one characteristic that happens sometimes
in the family, is that their second and third toes are slightly webbed,
a little way. Harry is the only one of our family that has this. They
used to laugh and call 'em "bogtrotters". Don't know what nationality
the Shorts were. I remember there were other relatives named Osborne
near Maryville, and Aldritghes in Elmo, but I don't know how they were
related.
If you will take note, you
will see that the McCord, Clark, Snodderley and Ecker families are pretty
well inter-married, and maybe it's a good thing we got out of the country
and got some new blood in the family.
From Federal Census
for Iowa, 1850, Page County published by the Iowa Genealogical Society,
1975: None of the McCords or Carvers or associated families are listed.
From College Springs
Iowa published by the College Springs Bicen-tennial Committee, 1976:
Austin Stanton changed the course of a creek to form a pond to have a
body of water for ice production. This became Crystal Lake with Albert
Arendsee's improvements. An early pioneer, Irvin Stanton had a meat
market. His son Milo expanded the meat market into a grocery store with
his son Warren under the name of Stanton and Son. In February 1961, Warren
and Winona Stanton sold the store to Robert and Rosemary Houchins. McCords
and Snodderlys were among those who had cafes in town. Of veterans buried
in Maple Hill Cemetery are listed Clifford, Franklin, Mellin and Niles
Carver from the Civil War; David and Oscar McCord from the Civil War;
Harry McCord from World War I; Jacob Snodderly from the Civil War; and
Warren Stanton from World War I. David Harlan McCord, Gerald's father,
died age 90 in 1957. There is a good picture of Warren and Nona Stanton.
Warren Stanton was listed in the 1976 College Springs Telephone Exchange.
There are good articles and photographs on Amity College, the Presbyterian
and Methodist churches, Crystal Lake and the Business section.
