Notes for HIRAM "HARM" SHOCKLEY:

From Barbara Byrd:
Dear Pat,

I don't have alot of leads on Hiram Shockley.  I have the 1860 Morgan Co. Census records that lists Hiram and wife Jane, born in Tennessee.
Three children are listed: Minerva (My great grandmother), Thomas H., and Mary J.  I would appreciate any leads you may have on Hiram or Jane.
Thanks!
Barbara
---------------------------
Dear Pat,

I think I told you that I don?t have a lot on Hiram (Harm) Shockley.  A few stories my grandmother Augusta Mae Noland told me and tidbits of information from uncles.  I?ve seen has grave a number of times.  It
is just over the fence on a dirt road, and under a tree.  There?s a tombstone that reads, ?In loving memory of Hiram Shockley?, February 4, 1823 died June 25, 1893. (one of his grandchildren is buried at his
feet. (a baby of Susan?s)
Hiram H. Shockley b. Feb 4,
1823 in Bagnell, Missouri.
d. June 25, 1893 and buried on Winchester Ridge, close to the old home place at Monte Ne, Arkansas.  Married Jane R. Moore September 1828, Bagnell, Missouri. I have that Jane died 1867.
----------------------
* This information (children of Hiram Shockley) came from a family bible in possession (at one
time) of Stella Fletcher daughter of James Austin Noland and Augusta Mae Sprinkles Noland. Not sure where it is now.

Hiram had two brothers Tom and Carl Shockley - according to my aunt
Mary Julian. (daughter of James Austin Noland and Augusta Mae Noland.)

Notes for JANE R. MOORE:
Rec'd from Barbara Byrd:
Information from the memory of my grandmother Augusta Mae Sprinkles
Noland in the mid 1960?s as told to Barbara Byrd.  I wrote it down as
close to grandmother words as I could.
? Jane Moore Shockley died sometime between 1865 and 1870.  He married
a Liza.  She was hard to get along with and mean to the children.  So
Hiram (Harm) took the children left at home and came to Arkansas.  He
had a real nice place in Missouri and he was well to do, but when he
left he took very little.  Just loaded up the children and took the
wagon and left.?
I have written in my notes, about 1961, that Jane Moore weighed about
98 pounds and played the fiddle.  Probably information from Ora,
daughter of William Edward and Louisa.

Notes for MINERVA ANN FRANCIS SHOCKLEY:
Rec'd from Barbara Byrd: (barbjbyrd@yahoo.com
Thought you might enjoy my uncle Bill's memories of Manervia Ann
Francis Shockley.Manervia Ann Francis Shockley by William Tell Noland
(My uncle Bill)

She moved down from Missouri to be here with her second husband, Harve
Duffer- and all the family.  Later she divorced Harve.  He moved to
Rogers with the small girls.  She said he was mean to her boys meaning
Hi, Zeke, Damas, and Austin. I recall seeing him one time.  He was
almost deaf.  He had a horn to hold to his ear for you to talk into.

Grandma was very religious in her own way.  She lived by the old
bible.  She had two, one she recorded family history in and the other
she called Uncle Zeke?s bible.  It was to go to the youngest Noland
boy.  Mom took it later and told uncle Damas what she said. The other
one went to Stella.  Grandma was bedfast about the last eleven years
of her life.

I recall at one time a large barn door was leaned up as a gate.  All
the boys and Martha would run and climb over it, but when I tried it,
it fell on me knocking me out.  Thinking I was dead, they called
grandma.  She got out of the bed and came out and carried me in on the
porch and brought me back to life. As far as I know, this was the last
time she got up out of bed.

She had a collection of root herbs, tea leaves to make her own
medicine.  She also had money that had been put on relatives eyes when
they had died for keepsakes.   It was the custom in those days to use
coins to keep the eyelids of the deceased closed.

Some of Grandma?s Do?s and Don?ts.

Do not add or take anything out of the Bible.
Don?t ever measure corn, fruit, etc. out to your brother.
Don?t buy or sell on Sunday.
Do not steal! If you have repay them double.
Don?t eat web-footed animals.
Never plant a cedar tree.  I you do you'll die when it gets big enough
to shade your grave.

She begged dad not to sell junk iron.  She said there was a war coming
and they will shoot it back at your boys.--How true this was.

As the old red rooster crowed the morning she died, Dad moved her bed
out of the back corner so they could take her out the back door to the
hearse.  This is the first time I recall this door being opened.  Her
old clock struck nine at that time and the sun was shining bright in
the back door as they took her out.  As they made arrangements for her
funeral, I was left at home.  Dad told Mom, ?Bills too young to
remember.? But I do.

This my friend is one of my secrets that has never been told.  That?s
one reason I have her clock.  It reminds me of that sad day.

Let me know what I've forgotten.  I'll get a copy of the layout of the
Hickory Creek Cemetery and send you all the names.  Take care.  Is
their anything else you want.  I'll try and get the death dates of my
aunts and uncles, and also the dates of their marriages.  I'll review
your e-mails next week and see what I need from you.  Oh, did you want
me to go back on the Noland line as far as we have.  Or maybe you'd
like to share what you have with me.

Take Care,

Barbara J. Byrd

Notes for ETTA SHOCKLEY:
Hi Pat,  Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.  I have been
working on the Shockley & Noland families who were joined to gether with
Charles Austin Shockley and Rhoda Noland.  These are the parents of Etta
Shockley who married James Key.  The following is a story or letter written
by Etta and it was passed on to me from one of her nieces that lives in
Oklahoma.  I copied it how it was written in her genealogy book with a brief
account as to where I found it.  This story is a real eye-opener as to how
they lived.  Etta names the family members and it is hard to follow all the
people with nicknames.
 

This is an account that was typed by Frankie Garner, who had collected
genealogy information about the Garner & Shockley families.

Short family history written by the former Etta Shockley.  Etta has passed
away since writing this.  She was found dead in her bed.  I am copying it as
near word for word as I can make out.  If anyone can add more to this
record, or prove some of it is wrong, we would appreciate it if you would
get in touch with any of the Earl Garner family.

My dad, Charles Austin Shockley.  His father's name was Carol (and I think
Monroe).  Dad had one brother, Monroe Shockley.  Grandpa Shockley died when
Uncle Roe was young.  Mama and Dad finished raising him.  He wouldn't go to
school, so he never learned to read and write.  Dad had a sister by the name
of Jane.  She married a man by the name of George Coffman.  She had another
man by the name of Appleton.  Our Grandma Shockley's name was Sarah Jane.
She was a McGinnis.  Aunt Jane had a daughter by the name of Wease.  Must
have been short of Louise.  Aunt Susie Perkins Girlt raised her.  Aunt
Susie's name before she married was Perkins, Susie Perkins.  Dad has a half
brother named Bill - Uncle Bill Shockley, Hady's father, and a daughter
named Della and one named Looney (I find in other documents that her name
was Leona) Jones.  Dad, Uncle Roe, and Aunt Jane were all own brothers and
sisters.  Grandpa Shockley's third marriage was to Mandy Hankins.  Aunt Ida
was the only child of Grandpa and Mandy Hankins.  She was Dad's half sister.
Mandy Hankins had three children when Grandpa married her.  They were Bill
Hankins, Mollie Hankins and Effie Ussery.  Aunt Susie Girlt is his half or
step sister.  Her name was Susie Perkins before she was married and Girlt
afterward.  She raised Wease after Aunt Jane died.  I have an enlarged
picture of Grandpa Shockley and one of Aunt Jane.  Aunt Susie insisted I
bring them back with me.  I went home with Grandma Noland and Aunt Lucy a
while before I was married.  Me and Gladys Cline stayed all night with Uncle
Bill and Aunt Susie.  I also visited Uncle Bill Shockley and Hady Shockley,
Opal Thomas's dad and I also saw Della.  Hady had two girls, Opal Thomas and
Lucille (I don't know her married name).  Pauline and I ate dinner with Opal
Thomas.  When we were down there Lucille and her husband were there.  There
was Uncle Hade Shockley, Elzer's dad.  I think he was a brother to Grandpa
Shockley.  Hady and Mary Lou.  They had several children, Charley (called
Little Charley), Bill ( saw him the last time I was there), Mary, Lizzie,
Elzer, Mamie and Mattie.  Most of them still live down in Camden County.
Elzer is dead.  Uncle Roe wife, Aunt Pearl, was a sister to Rosa's husband,
Fred.  They had three children, Bill, Edith, and Floyd.  All are dead but
Bill, he still lives at Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I guess you knew Dad and all of us (I was the baby then) went to Oklahoma in
a covered wagon in 1906.  I was three years old, had my birthday on the
trip.  It took 21 days.  We stopped in what was called then old Oklahoma.
Oklahoma wasn't a state then, it was called a territory.  We lived there a
year or more and moved on to what then was called Now (?), Oklahoma.  We
stayed two years there.  Dan was born then - out near Tuttle, Oklahoma.  We
decided to come back to Missouri.  Rosa married Fred Garner and stayed in
Oklahoma.  We came back on the train to Camden County, Missouri.  I went to
school my first year in Camden County at the Pearson Branch School.  It is
now in the Lake of the Ozarks.  Everett, Walter and I went one term there
then Dad moved to Dallas County near Buffalo, Missouri.

After one year there Dad decided to go back to Oklahoma in a covered wagon
and got as far as Bentonville, Arkansas.  Mother got awful sick.  He turned
around and went back to Buffalo.  Uncle Jim Belt and Aunt Milly lived in the
country near Buffalo.  We stayed.  He rented a farm and farmed near Flint
Ridge School where we went to a subscription school.  That was a three
months term of school and the parents paid 1 dollar a month per pupil.  Near
charity.  Just a store and post office.

We were again on the move in the fall.  After it began to get cold in
covered wagon, we started for Hodge, Missouri with a cow tied to the back of
the wagon.  We froze out or us kids did.  We cried we were so cold.  Dad put
mother, Walter, and me and Dan on the train at Lincoln, Missouri.  We spent
most of the night in the depot in Sedalia, Missouri.  At 2 o'clock we got a
train out.  Had to change at Myrich, Missouri.  When we got to Hodge it was
awful cold.  I was sick from riding on the train.  No one to meet us.  We
went to Walter's store.  Finally Bob Register had some men help him unload a
scalding tub and he took us to Uncle Jim Belt's in a big wagon.  Dad and
Everett made it there about three days later.  We lived in and around Hodge
for several years.  Dad and Everett went to Kansas City.  We sold all our
belongings.  They were to get a job of some kind of road work. In about ten
days they came back.  We rented a little farm for another year and then we
moved to Corder, Missouri.  Dad hauled coal there that winter for a living.
Before the winter was over, we moved back near Hodge.  Farmed and cut wood
for a couple of years, then we moved on a farm out on the prairie near
Corder.  Lived there two years.  That was when World War I started.  We
moved back to Hodge on the Ed Edwards place.  We lived there about 2 years.
Everett was in Oklahoma.  Dad sold most of our stuff.  Chartered a railroad
car and back to Oklahoma again.  I was 15 years old.  We bought a man out on
the farm about 15 miles from Blanchard, Oklahoma.  Bought team of horses,
cows, Chickens, the works and tried to farm.  Had 60 acres of cotton besides
caffee corn as they called it.  Turned dry, hot winds blew in a week.  We
scarcely had any crops at all.  We all had the flu that winter, all but Dad
and Walter and in the meantime the man Dad bought out hadn't paid the rent
and the sheriff garnisheed the feed, so Dad had a sale and moved up by
Tuttle on a cattle ranch.  He and Walter worked by the month until we had
money enough to get back to Missouri.  In the meantime Everett was back at
Hodge working on the railroad.  He rented the farm back out by Corder.  We
lived down by Hodge that winter - picked apples and cut wood.  We moved in
the spring to the Bell place out toward Corder and Grandpa Noland died.
Mother and Dad went back down there.  We lived there two years and then we
moved to the Owens place west of Hodge.
