Notes:

She attended Boonville Public Schools and was a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia, Mo. She did graduate work in the medical psychiatric social work at the University of Missouri, Tulane University, Washington University, American University and the University of Denver. During World War II she was in Hospital Service at the American Red Cross and served as assistant Field Director in several large Army hospitals in the southweSt Later she was a member of the professional staff in a number of Veterans Administration Hospitals. She was Chief Social Work Service at the VA Hospital in Excelsor Springs, Mo. and the VA Hospital in Fort Bayard, N.M. She then retired in Boonville where she was engaged in the restoration of her grandfathers home on High Street and lived there until moving to Lakeview Care Center in 1998.

My cousin that I have mentioned so often was Elizabeth Walther, who died a couple of years ago. She lived in my grandfather's duplex at 406 East High St in Boonville. There is a picture of it in the group of pictures I sent you. I am surprised that you did not know her, as I thought everyone in town knew "Ebe". The house next door was the original Walther family home--the one that was on the Christmas Home tour. After my Uncle Bill married, I suppose my Grandfather felt he no longer needed such a large home for himself and my Aunt Dell, so he built the duplex, and Grandpa and Aunt Dell lived on the right (facing the house) and Uncle Bill and his wife, Nettie, lived on the left side. After they divorced, Aunt Nettie continued to live there with Ebe (their daughter) until she (Nettie) passed away. By that time, Ebe was either away at college or at a job which took her out of the state. Then when my Aunt Dell died, she was working out of state and trying to keep up the duplex. After a few months she found it too much, so took retirement and moved back to Boonville and into the side where Grandpa and Aunt Dell lived. There she stayed until she passed away a couple of years ago. Some of her things were sold at auction to settle her estate, and I thought maybe that was what you were remembering.

Notes:

In 1916 the entire town of Paris burned, and my Dad moved his wife and son to paris, TX to help in the reconstruction. This was the only time he was in the Carpenter's Union, and I just recently came across his Union cards. He wife left Paris to care for her sister in Hillsboro who had contracted influenza, as her mother had passed away a few years earlier. My mother told me that her sister recovered, but Donald did not. As so, my Dad took Carl Jacob to live with his Dad and sister in booniville, as he could not take care of his business.

And in paris he met my mother who was a portrait photographer at the time.

My Dad was very devoted to his father, John Jacob and his sister, Adele. He had a very sad beginning to his life - losing his mother when he was only 10 years old and being raised by his sister, his first wife dying in the influenza epidemic of a918, and then losing his baby boy at age 10. So I imagine it was painful for him to talk of those things. I remember Carl Jacob's picture being on the dresser all of my growing up years. However he had a very happy life after he and my mother married. And he was always jolly and was full of funny stories - and he absolutely loved children - in fact, he was a big kid himself as long as he was in good health. He had many, many friends with who he fished and hunted.

He followed his father's and brother's trade of cabinet and boat builder and wood carver. His advertising always said: "Anything Made of Wood."

In 1989, I was approached by a physicianin Paris asking if I could provide information on my father's life, as he was thinking of writing a book on the furniture builders of Lamar Co., TX, as it was the furniture maufacturing capitol of Texas in the early 1900s. I was so happy to do this, and was able to collect more than 100 pages of pictures and text that I sen tto him.
