Mahdeen Mays - Part I

The Texas Years {1894-1922}

The anecdote my father told me about my great-grandmother, Mahdeen, eventually became an evaporative myth. I’ll come back to the details in due time.

I wasn’t disappointed to find an indomitable woman born at the turn of the 20th century who bore witness to significant historical events, surrounded by brothers, seeking independence as a creative and single parent during the ‘20s and ‘30s.

Mahdeen Mays was my father’s paternal grandmother. She was born on 22 Feb 1894 in unspecified Texas, the oldest of the three Mays children. Her parents were Walter M. and Martha Aminee (Rollins) Mays.

Walter M. Mays, the fifth child among six siblings, was the son of a Confederate Civil War soldier. Walter's father, at age 18, served as a Private in the Texas Infantry & Cavalry, Company B, (Kirby’s) 3rd Battalion, and then, at age 19, as a Corporal in the Texas Infantry, Company F, (Allen’s) 17th Regiment. The Mays family were tried and true Texans.

Martha Aminee Rollins, the eighth child among nine siblings, was the daughter of another Confederate Civil War soldier. Martha's father was 32 when he enlisted as a Private in the Mississippi Infantry, Company A, 35th Regiment. The Rollins family relocated from Kemper County, Mississippi, around 1869, after having lost and buried two children who died young. They settled in Brazos County, Texas, as evidenced by the 1870 census.

Mahdeen’s brother Walter Edgar was born on 24 Jun 1896, specifically in Caldwell, Burleson, Texas. During this period, Burleson County was renowned for ranching and cotton farming.

During the Jun 1900 census, Mahdeen, age 6, was living in Burleson with her father, Walter M., a farmer, age 27, mother Martha, who went by Mattie, age 24, and younger brother Walter, age 4.

Also living in the household was her widowed aunt by marriage, Mary Belle (Cunningham) Rollins, and her two children, Mahdeen’s cousins Mary Frances Rollins, age 14, and William Rollins, age 5. Although listed as widowed, I’ve been unable to find documentation regarding Mr. William W. Rollins’ death.

1900 US Federal Census. Justice Precinct 1, Burleson, Texas. Roll 1650. Page 22A. Enumeration District 0038. FHL microfilm 1241615.

Mahdeen’s baby brother, John Thomas, was born two months after the census on 28 Aug 1900, also in Caldwell. Their mother, Mattie, remarried in 1903, leaving a lingering question concerning the fate of their father, Walter.

Despite consulting conventional sources, information about Walter between 1900 and 1903 remained elusive and his death date was persistently left blank.

While looking for a public domain photo of Burleson County circa 1900 to add to this post, I came across a collection that included searchable Caldwell newspaper archives. I ran a search for Walter and lo and behold found his obituary.

Joiner, F. Lee. Caldwell News-Chronicle. Vol. 21 No. 44 Ed. 1. 29 Mar 1901. https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth169333/m1/9/?q=%22Walter%20Mays%22: accessed 3 Mar 2024. University of North Texas Libraries. The Portal to Texas History. https://texashistory.unt.edu. Crediting Harrie P. Woodson Memorial Library.

The 1900 census had documented his birth as "Dec 1872.” With the help of an online date calculator, the obituary helped pinpoint the precise date as 17 Dec 1872. We now know that he died on 27 Mar 1901 and was laid to rest the following day at the Masonic Cemetery. His obituary was a touching tribute to the man, Walter M. Mays, my great-great-grandfather.

My question was what would cause the death of a young man who had been "sick only a short time" and render him unable to speak? A quick search returned a heartbreaking answer, Diphtheria.

We have to keep in mind that these rural families faced the indiscriminate mortality of yellow fever, influenza, pneumonia, whooping cough, tuberculosis, measles, typhoid, and diphtheria from intimate perspectives within their communities during the mid-19th to early 20th century.

Between the ages of 19 and 25, Mattie lost one family member each year: two nieces, a nephew, her father, a brother, and now her husband. Before Mattie was born, two of her siblings died young and an aunt had died at age 16. Due to the time and place, we have little in the way of death certificates to rely on regarding these deaths.

The earliest death certificate I found was for Mrs. Josie Greathouse, Walter’s younger sister. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 29 in 1912, leaving a husband and 3 children.

Walter and Mattie’s children and their ages at the time of Walter’s death:

Mahdeen, age 7

Walter, age 4

John, age 7 mos.

Several family events occurred after Walter’s death and before the 1910 census. In March 1903, Mahdeen's mother, Mattie, married Andrew J. Mayberry Sr. They were likely acquainted with each other's families years beforehand.

Mattie's sister, Mary Matilda (Rollins), had previously married Andrew's brother, Seaborn Burnett Mayberry, in 1889. Their first child, Ethel Aminee Mayberry, was born in 1890 and died when “the death angel visited” in 1899. Mattie attended her niece's funeral with her husband, who, at that time, was Walter.

Bryan-College Station Eagle. 31 Aug 1899. Page 3. https://www.newspapers.com/article/bryan-college-station-eagle-ethel-mayber/81529261/ : accessed 9 Mar 2024. clip page for the Obituary for Ethel Mayberry.

Andrew J. Mayberry Sr., at the time of his marriage to Mattie, was a widower whose first wife also died in 1901. From that marriage, he had three children, Lydia Ann, age 15, Thomas Edward, age 14, and Charles Earl Mayberry, age 11.

Lydia Ann Mayberry would marry at the age of 17 in 1905.

Mattie and Andrew J. Mayberry Sr. would have four children of their own;

Andrew Jackson Mayberry Jr. - 21 Dec 1903 - Merkel, Taylor, Texas

Fred Monroe Mayberry - 1 Dec 1905 - Merkel, Taylor, Texas

William Clyde Mayberry Sr. - 2 Mar 1908 - Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas

Robert Ernest Mayberry - 14 Dec 1909 - Merkel, Taylor, Texas

Andrew and Mattie (Rollins) Mayberry’s children would be double cousins or first cousins twice over to Seaborn and Mary (Rollins) Mayberry’s children...whenever siblings marry siblings, the children are double cousins.

My great-grandmother Mahdeen would marry my great-grandfather, James William Roe Sr., in Taylor County, Texas, early in the year, on 12 Jan 1910. She was one month shy of 16 years old. James was 22. She later testified during their 1923 divorce court proceedings that they met at a school party.

Texas, Select County Marriage Records, 1837-2015. Taylor County Clerk's Office. Abilene, Texas. Taylor County Marriage Records. Volume 6. Page 94.

In the Apr 1910 census of Merkel, Taylor, Texas, Mahdeen and her husband, Jim W., a farmer, resided with her stepfather who was a carpenter, her mother Mattie, two older stepbrothers, two younger brothers, and four younger half-brothers.

1910 US Federal Census. Merkel, Taylor, Texas. Roll T624_1593. Page 5A. Enumeration District 0272. FHL microfilm 1375606.

James and Mahdeen's sons, James William Roe Jr., my grandfather, and John Ed Roe, my granduncle, were born in Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas. James was born on 29 Jul 1915, and John on 29 Oct 1919, both during the era of World War I. In the years preceding World War II, it was commonly referred to as the “War,” the "Great War,” or the “World War."

Of note: their son John's middle name was Ed, not Edward.

The only immediate family member who served in the war was her brother John Thomas Mays. He enlisted in the US Army at the age of 17 on 29 Jul 1918 and was discharged on 16 May 1921. His obituary published in Dec 1986 didn’t mention the US Army but reported that he served in the US Navy. I have yet to find proof of Naval service.

The post-war 1920s stood out as a notable decade. Prohibition, commencing in 1920, and the ratification of women's right to vote in August of the same year were pivotal historical moments. In Texas, the '20s heralded the onset of the oil boom. In the local context of Fort Worth, colloquially known as "Cowtown," an extensive network of railways from across the nation played a vital role in supporting the cattle industry centered at the Fort Worth Stockyards. The railroad infrastructure, as evidenced by the impressive 1888 map, laid the foundation for the region's visions of financial success and stability. Presently, the “stockyards" have become a cattle-free tourist destination.

Wikimedia Commons: Paddock Fort Worth, TX, and Rail-Roads, 1888

The census dated 6 Jan 1920 in Fort Worth, Tarrant, Texas, shows Mahdeen living with her husband Jim, now a carpenter, and two sons: James, age 4, and John, age 2 months. Also, a young couple who were roomers.

1920 US Federal Census. Fort Worth, Ward 8, Tarrant, Texas. Roll T625_1850. Page 7A. Enumeration District 134. Image 168.

In July, seven months later, Mahdeen initiated divorce proceedings.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram. 28 Jul 1920. Page 10. https://www.newspapers.com/article/fort-worth-star-telegram-maude-files-for/141681011/ : accessed 23 Feb 2024. clip page for Maude Files for Divorce.

After almost two years, in Mar 1922, Judge Terrell dismissed 171 divorce cases, including hers, all of them “for want of prosecution.” At first, it sounded to me like an easy day for the Judge. Then again, I’m unfamiliar with divorce law in Texas during the 1920s. The 171 cases that were listed take up an entire column of the newspaper.

Mahdeen “ain't” givin' up just yet! Stay tuned for more...

The other Millses

This was originally part of the the third chapter in my family history on the Mills family, and published on WordPress, but has been broken up into various parts for this blog.

While I have written about Hattie, Dora, RBM I, and Joseph B. Mills, they are only four of Margaret and John’s children seem to have had. Of the remaining eight, we know only the names of six of them: Thomas, Edward E., Margaret “Maggie” E, John C., William “Willie”, and Mary J. As noted earlier, John Newton Mills could be the other child, and Benjamin W. could be another child as well.

In the previous section on Joseph B. Mills, it is clear that John C. Mills was living in Caldwell, Edward E. Mills was living in Colorado, Margaret “Maggie” E. Mills (married to Thomas G. Cosgrove) was living in Providence, Rhode Island, and a “Mrs. Packard” living in Massachusetts married to a Packard, when Joseph died in May 1900.

That still leaves four left: Thomas, Benjamin W., William “Willie”, and Mary J. From this, one could say that Mary J. married a Packard. But who? Searching the Massachusetts Marriages, 1841-1915 collection on Family Search only turns up one Mills named Dora, who is the mother of RBM II. When one searches using the surnames of Mills and Bibby in the same search engine, you only come up with one person: Hattie Belle Hammond, the daughter of John and Margaret. Perhaps this person who married a Packard is referring to the other child who is not known.

As for Thomas, he was clearly born in 1846 in Glens Falls as attested by the 1850 census. He lived with the Mills family in his movements around until 1865, as he is not listed in the 1870 and 1875 censuses. Sadly, he seems to drop off the map past that point. There is a Charles T Mills who was living in California in 1880, but it is unknown if this the same as Thomas Mills. Due to the varying dates of other individuals named Thomas Mills, it cannot be determined if any of them were him.

Then there’s Benjamin W. Mills. He is only mentioned in one census, in 1860, when the Mills family as living in Bolton and listed as 3 months old. This could mean that he died sometime before 1865 or that he moved to another household. More likely is that this individual is the same as William Mills, with his middle name being Benjamin. But this cannot be confirmed.

There are two other individuals: William “Willie” Mills and Mary J., her middle name likely being Jane. She was clearly alive in 1875, living in the household of John Mills as noted in the previous chapter. There is no doubt that she did not marry George William Simter Edgar on 15 May 1879 in Durham, Ontario, Canada. Nothing else is known.

William or Willie Mills was born in 1861 as attested by the 1865 and 1875 censuses while the 1870 census is the anomaly by saying he was born in 1863. Since the name William Mills is so common, it it is hard to know which person they are referring to!

There are undoubtedly other Millses out there, without a doubt. However, the Millses covered in this history are those we know for certain are either the children of Margaret and John, or are connected to the Mills family, living in Warren County by implication.

SIRIUS EL DOCUMENTAL Sobre EL PODER del DEEPSTATE y LOS EXTRATERRESTRE por STEVEN GREER

El prologo a este Documental es el vídeo anterior a este, y por si habéis encontrado este, fuera del canal o insertado en una web o Blog sobre el Tema os doy el vínculo a este otro vídeo al que me refiero, pero que resume y explica el porqué y otras muchas cosas que influyeron en la creación de este Gran Documental SIRIUS y pueden verlo en el siguiente Vínculo: https://youtu.be/jzEvx3Zdhls Steven Macon Greer (28 de junio de 1955) es un ufólogo y médico traumatólogo estadounidense. Es fundador del Centro para el Estudio de Inteligencia Extraterrestre (CSETI) y del The Disclosure Project («El Proyecto Revelación»), el cual busca la revelación de información extraterrestre presuntamente suprimida. Greer fundó el Centro para el Estudio de Inteligencia Extraterrestre (CSETI) en 1990 con la idea de establecer una iniciativa formal de búsqueda para contactar civilizaciones extraterrestres. En 1993 fundó «El Proyecto Revelación», un proyecto sin ánimos de lucro cuyo objetivo es revelar al público la información que tiene el gobierno acerca de los OVNIS, inteligencia extraterrestre, propulsión y sistemas adelantados de energía. Además, El Proyecto Revelación se fundó con la idea de conceder amnistía con respecto a las leyes de seguridad de quienes busquen información secreta de Ovnis. Greer dijo que él tuvo una entrevista con el director de la CIA James Woolsey y que este aceptó el fenómeno, pero luego James negó dicha entrevista. En octubre de 1994, Greer apareció en el show de televisión de Larry King en un capítulo especial llamado The UFO Coverup? Luego en 1995, Greer trabajó como doctor en el área de emergencias en el centro médico Caldwell Hospital Conmemorativo, donde él era presidente. En 1997, Greer junto con otros miembros de CSETI, incluyendo al astronauta del Apolo 14 Edgar Mitchell, hicieron una presentación informativa para los miembros del Congreso de los Estados Unidos. En 1998, Greer dejó su carrera de médico para dedicarse por completo a El Proyecto Revelación. En mayo de 2001, Greer hizo una rueda de prensa en el Club de Prensa Nacional en Washington D.C. titulada «20 retirados de la Fuerza Aérea, de la Administración de Aviación Federal y agentes de inteligencia». Según un informe del portal Oregon Daily Emerald, el año 2002 Greer había reunido 120 horas de testimonio de civiles, de varios gobiernos y oficiales militares acerca del tema OVNI, incluyendo declaraciones del astronauta Gordon Cooper y la de un brigadier general. Documental Sirius En 2013, Greer fue coproductor de un documental llamado Sirius detallando su trabajo e hipótesis con respecto a la vida extraterrestre, encubrimientos del gobierno y encuentros cercanos del quinto tipo. La película estuvo dirigida por Amardeep Kaleka y narrado por Thomas Jane. También cubre el libro publicado por Greer el año 2006 llamado «Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge». La película se estrenó el 22 de abril de 2013, en Los Ángeles, California donde presentó entrevistas del gobierno anterior y de oficiales militares. En Sirius mostró un esqueleto de seis pulgadas conocido como el Esqueleto de Atacama («Atacama skeleton»), presentó imágenes y una prueba de ADN del esqueleto. La evidencia genética mostró que era humano, con marcas genéticas que se encontraron igualmente en «mujeres indígenas de la región de Chile». El director del centro que hizo el análisis dijo: «es un misterio médico interesante de un desafortunado ser con una serie de defectos de nacimiento que hacen que la genética encontrada no sea común» Fuente.

Johnny winter and

Originally playing as a trio, Winter formed Johnny Winter And when he added a fourth member, guitarist Rick Derringer of the McCoys, to the line-up. Starting out with a rock-guitar sound, Winter eventually tuned his musical tastes to a more bluesy note. Born in Texas, raised in the Mississippi Delta, Winter and his brother Edgar began. Texas guitarist/blues genius Johnny Winter found fame with the debut of his self-titled album in the late 1960s. She talked about their initial meeting, her stint in Johnny's band, a bizarre phone conversation with John Belushi, and the night she enlisted the help of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Johnny Winter was a true pioneer of Guitar-driven Blues and Rock & Roll. "There was such an overwhelming outpouring of love and respect for Johnny, I began to realize it was not just business people sensing an opportunity here it was Johnny's true, loyal, and devoted fans and our fellow musicians, many of whom are on this record, who wanted to see this happen as well. Johnny's significant other since 1972 and his wife since 1992, Susan Winter is a sweet and gracious lady who candidly shared memories of her life with Johnny. Everyone on the tour was so kind and supportive, getting up to jam, and it became a kind of tradition. “I had anticipated the tour to be very emotional, perhaps sad, and possibly difficult, but playing those songs turned out to be a great source of strength and comfort to me. One of the best Rock N Roll albums ever recorded live - the jams are truly electrifying. Goode, Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo, and Jumpin' Jack Flash, dedicating the end of the set to Johnny. Johnny Winter, Rick Derringer, Randy Jo Hobbs and Bobby Caldwell - what a lineup. The first night, after playing Frankenstein, I closed the show with Johnny B. Best known for his late 1960s and 1970s high-energy blues rock albums and live performances, Winter also produced three Grammy Award-winning albums for blues legend Muddy Waters. "But much to my surprise, the promoters begged me to go on with the tour as planned, asking me to headline.

John Dawson 'Johnny' Winter III (born Februdied July 16, 2014) was an American blues guitarist, singer, and producer. “I had naturally expected the whole thing to be cancelled," Edgar continued.

Reading books you don't really want to read for a book club certainly isn't the best ways to spend ones time. It may be from skimming that the 'vivid descriptions of nature' in Where the Crawdads Sing mainly impressed themselves on me as Too Many Adjectives; I actually picked up on very few descriptions of nature between the parade of tiresome, paper-thin rednecked 'characters', helpful magic black people and the romanticisation of poverty, abuse and ignorance.

Prejudice and marginalisation against 'poor white trash' in the Southern states isn't a comparable problem to racism, but it is a problem. I finished To Kill A Mockingbird wanting very much to hear what happened to Mayella Ewell; this is unforgivably not that story. The beautiful, intelligent and innocent nature child living in a swamp DOES NOT deserve our sympathy because she isn't ugly and brutish. She's worth a better novel than this because she's a human, a victim of abuse and a sick society who deserves better than she's likely to get. Better than a trashy, vulgar love triangle which renders every character into the soulless functionary of a miserable plot, and makes any ending the book might have had worthless and trite.

SPOILER The most significant point the book fails to make is that the pretty white nature-child found innocent of murdering her would-be rapist in North Carolina would've been dead as anything if she'd been black. That is not a story that deserves replacing with a trashy romance.

Mockingbird is a better book; even the avian name denotes a poor imitation. A Time to Kill is a better book, or anything with a black lead character. Roll of Thunder is a better book. Huck Finn is a better book, and Mark Twain would have skewered Crawdads as deftly as Last of the Mohicans, if he judged it worth his time. The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint is a better book; like Huck, it excels less in a brilliant plotting than in boasting a marvellously vivid parade of characters and personalities instead of two men and one woman slaved to a romance novel; any story that makes women into functions of the plot is anti-feminist to boot. Anything about the South by Erskine Caldwell is better, but there's no need for me to make this post longer than strictly necessary.

Mi vida en lecturas

Leer es una de esas pasiones en mi vida que lamento no dedicarme a ellas más seguido. Me encanta leer y encuentro un placer inmenso cuando soy capaz de sumergirme en una lectura que me atrapa y casi todos los días pienso en la lectura.

En esta publicación, quiero compartir mi experiencia con la lectura. Así que he creado algunas categorías de las pocas lecturas que he hecho en mi vida. Creo que sin contar mis lecturas académicas, he leído aproximadamente unos 250 libros, lo cual me entristece porque he visto más de 1000 películas y he visto un sinnúmero de series de televisión también, tal vez unas 50, por lo cual mi nivel de lectura está desbalanceado frente a otras actividades de ocio y entretenimiento.

En esta publicación iré compilando algunas categorías entretenidas que me gusta tener en mis lecturas y la iré actualizando conforme siga leyendo. Me encantaría que pudieras sugerir algunas categorías más que se te ocurran.

Trataré de ordenar la listas de los libros de manera que queden rankeados y pondré el título del libro en inglés si en efecto lo leí en inglés.
