Memories of my 'growing up years' in Howell Co Mo
- On the old home place
First off, I know it was in the Shirley family many many more
year than I even I knew about as I grew up. Frances Meadows Shirley,
Jarrett (my great, great grandmother deeded it to Thomas P. Shirley,
my great grand father and he deeded it to Orville William Shirley
, my father, I grew up there and lived there until I married.
It lies 1/2 mile or so from the Free Union Cemetery where my
Shirley family from Thoams P. Shirley on down are buried. I don't
know where John or Frances are buried. As I grew up I remember
my father telling about this awful tornado that blew away the
first house when he was small school age child. And I remember
the huge rocks that were the chimney to the fireplace. He said
it took dishes and such right up the chimney. I remember my father
telling my my great grandmother Elizabeth Keel Shirley was Cherokee
Indian, full or half I can't say for sure. I remember my father
mentioning Belle Starr from time to time but I don't know exactly
where she fits into the Shirley family. I know her name was Myra
Belle Shirley. I remember my father telling about living for
a period of time in the Boston Mountains of North Arkansas below
Jasper. I think it was for my grandmother's health. I remember
my father talkign about working in the oil fields around Cleveland
OK when a young man and seeing the famed "Doc Holiday"
on the street there also workign in the almond orchards around
Paso Robles, California. I remember my father being Justice of
the Peace for a number of years. In the late 30's and maybe 40s.
I remember the first marriage he performed. Our neighbor girl.
By the time I came along all that was left of my father's family
was he and two sisters. They were Maud who married J.E. Franks.
They had a daughter and a son. My father Orville William Shirley
who married Clovis McAninch and they had a daughter and a son.
