  REFERENCES: CAUDLE(2), PRESTON M., UNPUBLISHED RESEARCH ON JAMES ERVIN RUDD'S FAMILY, 2326 KENT COURT, WALDORF, MARYLAND, 20602-2212, 1968-76. FARMER. HE IS BURIED IN THE NE CORNER OF SAND FLATS CEMETARY. HIS GRAVE IS MARKED WITH A CIVAL WAR TOMBSTONE FOR HIS SERVICE IN THE CONFEDERACY. BESIDE HIS GRAVE, THERE'S A TOMBSTONE FOR NANCY, HIS FIRST WIFE, BUT SHE IS BURIED AT MT. BETHEL, IN PANOLA COUNTY, TEXAS. HE WAS IN ALL THE MAJOR BATTLES UNTIL GETTYSBURG. BEFORE THAT BATTLE, HE WENT HOME TO TAKE CARE OF HIS WIFE WHO HAD SMALL POX. SHE LIVED BUT HE GOT IT TOO AND MISSED THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. THE POX PROBABLY SAVED HIS LIFE. IN ONE OF THE BATTLES (PROBABLY THE BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS) HE MARCHED BY HIS DYING BROTHER, MARION, WHO FOUGHT FOR THE UNION. HE HAD BEEN SHOT (IN THE HEAD, I THINK). HE STOPPED LONG ENOUGH TO PUT HIS NECKERCHEF UNDER HIS BROTHER'S HEAD BEFORE MARCHING ON. MY MOM TOLD ME THIS STORY WHEN I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE AND WAS STUDYING ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR. SHE TOLD ME THAT HER GRANDFATHER FOUGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA AND THAT HIS BROTHER FOUGHT FOR THE NORTH. IT TOUCHED MY SOUL VERY DEEPLY WHEN SHE TOLD IT. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY TOLD ME THE SAME STORY THUS CONFIRMING IT WITHOUT MY PROMPTING. SHE TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE WAR HER GRANDFATHER MOVED TO TEXAS. ONE TIME HE CAME TO A BRIDGE AND THE OCCUPATION ARMY WAS TRYING TO CROSS IT BEFORE HIM. HE GOT DOWN OUT OF THE WAGON, REACHED IN HIS BACK POCKET, PULLED OUT A TWIST OF CHEWING TOBACCO, AND TOLD THEM "BY YASE I WAS ON THIS BRIDGE FIRST, BACK OFF." THEY DID AND HE WENT ON HIS WAY. WHEN HIS FIRST WIFE DIED, JAMES SENT FOR HER SISTER, SUSANNAH, TO HELP HIM TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS. SHE CAME AND THEY WERE MARRIED BEFORE SHE MOVED IN. THE GRAVES IN HIS PLOT IN SAND FLATS CEMETARY ARE ARRANGED AS FOLLOWS: JAMES ERVIN RUDD; VACANT GRAVE; MARKER FOR NANCY HIS FIRST WIFE BUT SHE IS BURIED AT MT. BETHEL IN PANOLA COUNTY, TEXAS; LUNA GILLENTINE; ERVIN GILLENTINE. GRANMA PLANTED AN EVERGREEN TREE AT THE HEAD OF HIS GRAVE. MARRIAGE LICENSE ---------------- "J. E. RUDD TO SUSANAH S. WORNELL SS.: 'BE IT REMEMBERED, THAT ON' (IN LARGE, BOLD, BLACK LETTERS) THIS 4TH DAY OF JULY A.D. 18'81' (TYPED OVER '187..'), THE FOLLOWING MARRIAGE LICENSE WAS ISSUED, TO-WIT: 'TEXAS, TO-WIT: PANOLA COUNTY, SS.' (IN LARGE, BOLD, BLACK LETTERS--LARGER THAN 'BE IT REMEMBERED, THAT ON') TO ALL WHO SHALL SEE THESE PRESENTS, GREETING: KNOW YE, THAT ANY PERSON LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO CELEBRATE THE RITES OF MATRIMONY, IS HEREBY LICENSED TO JOIN IN MARRIAGE, AS HUSBAND AND WIFE, J. E. RUDD AND SUSANAH S. WARNELL AND FOR SO DOING THIS SHALL BE HIS SUFFICIENT AUTHORITY. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I, H. POLLARD, CLERK OF THE PANOLA COUNTY COURT, HEREUNTO SUBSCRIBE MY NAME AND AFFIX THE SEAL OF SAID COURT, THIS 4 DAY JULY A.D.1881, (L.S.), H. POLLARD, CLERK. 'TEXAS, TO-WIT; PANOLA COUNTY.'

THE ABOVE CERTIFICATE MUST BE RETURNED TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE WITHIN SIXTY DAYS, WITH THE BLANKS FILLED WITH THE NAMES AND DATES, AND SIGNED BY THE PERSON SOLEMNIZING THE MARRIAGE."

WITNESS MY HAND AND OFFICIAL SEAL THIS 16TH DAY OF OCT., A.D., 1969. ROY CADENHEAD, JR., COUNTY CLERK, BY JENNIE BALLARD, DEPUTY." NOTE: SUSANAH S. WARNELL'S SURNAME IS REALLY WORRELL (NOW PRONOUNCED WORR'ELL TO DISTINGUISH IT). I GUESS THE DOUBLE R LOOKED LIKE AN N IS WHY THE COUNTY CLERK SPELLED IT WARNELL.
