• Notes

  A SHORT STORY BY VIARETTA KEITH ------------------------------- JAMES ARCHIE HOBBS, JR. & ESTELLA HOBBS BAGWELL LITTLE IS KNOWN OF JAMES ARCHIE HOBBS, JR. (JIM, AS MANY KNOW HIM). WHAT LITTLE WE KNOW FROM BILLIE LOUISE BAGWELL [ROBINS], A GRANDDAUGHTER, IS THAT HE CHEWED TOBACCO FROM A RED CAN WITH A LITTLE MULE ON THE FRONT. SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE TOBACCO. HE SPENT MUCH TIME TRAVELING IN A COVERED WAGON AND NEVER STAYED VERY LONG IN ONE PLACE. THERE IS ONLY SPECULATION AS TO THE REASON FOR THIS. WORD IS THAT HE HAD IN HIS POSSESSION THREE GOLD PIECES, FROM WHERE HE OBTAINED THEM WE ARE UNSURE. THESE WERE RECALLED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER, THEY WEREN'T RETURNED UNTIL AFTER JIM'S DEATH. BORN TO JAMES ARCHIE HOBBS, JR. AND STELLA FLETCHER WAS A SECOND LITTLE GIRL, ESTELLA ON APRIL 10, 1910. ESTELLA LIVED IN COVERED WAGONS TRAVELING FROM PLACE TO PLACE WITH HER FAMILY. SHE ATTENDED SCHOOL WHEREVER THEY HAPPENED TO BE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. (I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THEM IN ANY CENSUS IN OKLAHOMA NOR TEXAS.) THEREFORE, SHE WAS ONLY PRIVILEGED A FOURTH GRADE EDUCATION. I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER (ESTELLA) FROM THIS TIME UNTIL SHE MET MY GRANDFATHER (ERVIN). (IDA WOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT HER CHILDHOOD. I NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK GRANDMA.) I REMEMBER MY MOTHER (BILLIE) TALK[ED] ABOUT HOW ESTELLA WAS A PERFECTIONIST. SHE WANTED THINGS DONE JUST SO-SO AND NOTHING WAS SHORT OF THAT. SHE WAS QUITE FOND OF HER MOTHER (STELLA) AND TRIED TO PLEASE HER IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. I KNOW SHE WAS RAISED TO BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. STELLA (JAMES ARCHIE'S SECOND WIFE) WAS A VERY DEVOTED CHRISTIAN LADY AND LIVED A GODLY LIFE. SO MUCH SO THAT WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER (ESTELLA) DIED SOME OF HER LAST WORDS WERE THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GO SEE "MAMA" (STELLA), MYRTLE, AND DADDY (ERVIN). WHAT A TESTIMONY!! ONE SUNDAY IN WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA, JAMES ARCHIE HOBBS, JR. (JIM, AS SOME OF THE FAMILY REMEMBER HIM) ALLOWED ESTELLA TO ATEND AN AFTERNOON SINGING WITH MAYME FLETCHER (STELLA FLETCHER HOBBS' SISTER - (GRANDMA'S AUNT). JIM DIDN'T ATTEND CHURCH AND WASN'T FOND OF HIS FAMILY ATTENDING. THE FLETCHER[S] ATTENDED THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH REGULARLY SO IT WASN'T UNCOMMON FOR THEM TO BE AT CHURCH ALL DAY, BUT THIS PARTICULAR AFTERNOON TURNED OUT TO BE EXTRA-ORDINARY. IT WAS THERE THAT ESTELLA MET A YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME OF ERVIN DEMPSEY BAGWELL, SON OF DEMPSEY ABE AND ANNA LUCRETIA RUDD GILLENTINE BAGWELL. THE BAGWELLS WERE GOOD BAPTIST PEOPLE BUT ERVIN HAD LEFT THE BAPTIST CHURCH AND WAS ATTENDING A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH WITH SOME FRIENDS, JAKE, JOHN AND RICE MILLER. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THEM THAT ERVIN EXPERIENCED "PENTECOST" AND LATER SERVED AS PASTOR OF FOUR DIFFERENT ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCHES. ON JUNE 23, 1928 ERVIN DEMPSEY BAGWELL AND ESTELLA HOBBS WERE MARRIED IN WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA. BEING ONLY 17 AND 18, RESPECTFULLY, THESE NEWLYWEDS HAD LITTLE MONEY, THEREFORE SPENT THEIR FIRST NIGHT ON COTS IN A ONE ROOM APARTMENT AT A BOARDING HOUSE IN WEATHERFORD, NEAR THE PRESENT DAY OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY, WHERE HIRAM AND GENEVA ADALINE KERNS FLETCHER WERE OWNERS. ERVIN AND ESTELLA LIVED SEVERAL PLACES DURING THEIR MARRIED LIFE. THEY LIVED IN CUSTER COUNTY NEAR THOMAS AND LATER MOVED TO GOOSENECK, TEXAS. ERVIN HAD HEARD ABOUT SEVERAL RAILROAD EMPLOYMENTS AND WENT THERE TO TRY HIS LUCK. HE APPLIED FOR A RAILROAD ENGINEER'S POSITION BUT WAS UNABLE TO PASS HIS PHYSICAL - HE WAS TOLD HE HAD A HEART MURMUR. DISMAYED AND UNABLE TO FIND ANY OTHER EMPLOYMENT, HE AND ESTELLA MOVED BACK TO THE BECKHAM COUNTY (MAYFIELD) AREA. IT WAS HERE THAT THEIR FIRST CHILD WAS BORN. ON NOVEMBER 6, 1929 AT MAYFIELD, BECKHAM COUNTY, OKLAHOMA ON THE OLD HOBBS FARM A LITTLE GIRL, BILLIE LOUISE BAGWELL WAS BORN TO THIS UNION. BILLIE GREW UP AROUND THE BECKHAM COUNTY AREA. SHE BEGAN ATTENDING SCHOOL AT MAYFIELD OR BULO SCHOOLS BUT SOON TRANSFERRED TO SUPERIOR, ARIZONA. ON NOVEMBER 27, 1935 A SECOND PRETTY LITTLE BLOND HEADED BABY GIRL, CLOETTA FAYE BAGWELL WAS BORN IN BULO (SAYRE), OKLAHOMA (BECKHAM COUNTY). CLOETTA WAS QUITE A DADDY'S GIRL. SHE WOULD SET ON THE FRONT PORCH OF THE HOUSE WITH THE NEWSPAPER IN HER ARMS. IT WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR ANYONE TO READ IT BEFORE DADDY. HE WAS FIRST IN HER LIFE AND SHE GUARDED THE PAPER FOR HIM. IN 1935 ERVIN, LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE, HITCHHIKED ["RODE THE FREIGHTS" OR "HOBOED"] WITH MR. [LOUIS NORMAN] CAUDLE (WHOSE SON [EARL GLEN, SR. HAD] ... MARRIED ERVIN'S YOUNG[EST LIVING] SISTER, MINNIE LOU) HEADING FOR CALIFORNIA. ON THE ROAD THEY DECIDED TO STOP IN SUPERIOR, ARIZONA TO STAY AWHILE WITH JAMES OSCAR AND MARY LOU (MONROE) BAGWELL. AFTER FINDING WORK IN SUPERIOR AND RECEIVING HIS FIRST PAYCHECK, ERVIN SENT BUSFARE MONIES TO ESTELLA TO BRING THE TWO GIRLS AND COME TO SUPERIOR. THIS WAS THEIR BIG MOVE WESTWARD! IN EARLY 1936, ESTELLA, BILLIE, AND TINY BABY CLOETTA BOARDED THE BUS AND HEADED WEST. UPON ARRIVAL THEY FOUND THAT ERVIN WAS WORKING IN THE SMELTER WHERE HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE MAGMA COPPER CLUB. HE WAS MAKING IT BIG TIME! BECAUSE OF THEIR FREQUENT RELOCATING AND LACK OF CHURCHES IN THE AREA, ERVIN, ESTELLA AND THEIR GIRLS HAD GRADUALLY FORGOTTEN THE "ASSEMBLING" OF THEMSELVES TOGETHER WITH OTHER BELIEVERS. WHILE IN SUPERIOR, ARIZONA, BILLIE WAS CARRIED TO CHURCH BY ANNA LUCRETIA RUDD GILLENTINE BAGWELL (HER GRANDMOTHER). ANNA LOU AND DEMPSEY WERE GOOD BAPTIST PEOPLE AND ATTENDED CHURCH FAITHFULLY. ONE SUNDAY EVENING BILLIE, ALONE AT CHURCH WITHOUT HER MOTHER AND FATHER, WENT FORWARD TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS HER SAVIOR AND WAS LATER INSTRUMENTAL IN ERVIN AND ESTELLA GETTING BACK INTO CHURCH AND INTO THE MINISTRY. ONE DAY A LADY MINISTER AND HER FAMILY CAME TO SUPERIOR TO PIONEER A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH. UPON CHECKING AT THE LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THEY WERE DISMAYED TO FIND ONLY TWO (2) FAMILIES WHO EVEN CLAIMED A PENTECOSTAL EXPERIENCE (THE McGEES AND THE ERVIN BAGWELL FAMILY). THEIR WORK WAS LAID OUT FOR THEM!! WHEN CHECKING WITH ERVIN AND ESTELLA THIS MINISTER FAMILY FOUND ERVIN CLAIMING TO BE PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS. HE MADE SURE THEY KNEW THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD (WHICH THIS MINISTER FAMILY CLAIMED) AND THE PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS. HE WAS PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS!! ESTELLA HAD BEEN RAISED CHURCH OF CHRIST; HOWEVER[,] STELLA FLETCHER HOBBS (ESTELLA'S MOTHER) WAS RAISED PENTECOSTAL SO ESTELLA WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE PENTECOSTAL EXPERIENCE. ERVIN AND ESTELLA TOOK BILLIE AND CLOETTA AND BEGAN HELPING TO ESTABLISH THE NEW ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CONGREGATION LOCATED DOWN THE HILL FROM THEIR HOUSE ON A CREEK BANK. ERVIN SERVED AS SONG SERVICE, SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT AND IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY NEEDED. IN 1944, ERVIN AND ESTELLA MOVED TO McGREGOR, TEXAS WHERE ERVIN WORKED IN THE BLUE BONNET ACRES BOMB FACTORY. THEY ATTENDED FAITHFULLY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY CHURCH AND HELPED IN THE MINISTRY. THE 1945 McGREGOR TONADO DESTROYED THE "CARDBOARD" CITY; THEREFORE, SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE BAGWELLS FOUND THEMSELVES HEADED NORTHWARD TO COGER, OK[.] (CADDO COUNTY). ERVIN WAS GOING TO BEGIN HIS FIRST PASTORATE AT THE SCOTT ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH WHERE HE BECAME A LICENSED MINISTER. WHILE AT COGER, ERVIN AND ESTELLA'S PRETTY BLONDE-HEADED GIRL, CLOETTA, PASSED AWAY. CLOETTA WAS A SPECIAL CHILD. SHE HAD A FAVORITE SONG: "JESUS, YOU ARE MY SAVIOR" AND AT A VERY YOUNG AGE WENT TO SEE HER "SAVIOR". SHE HAD A SPINAL DEFECT INFLICTED UPON HER AT BIRTH AND AT THE YOUNG AGE OF TEN, ON AUGUST 8, 1946, SHE WENT TO HER HEAVENLY HOME. SHE WAS A RESIDENT IN A CHILDREN'S HOME IN ABILENE, TEXAS. ERVIN AND ESTELLA KEPT HER AT HOME WITH THEM AS LONG AS POSSIBLE BUT THERE CAME A TIME WHEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO CARE FOR HER. IT WAS ONLY AT THAT TIME THAT SHE WENT TO THE HOME. THIS WAS A HEART BREAK FOR THEM. FROM COGER, OK[.] THE BAGWELL'S MOVED TO APACHE, OK[.] WHERE, WHILE BEING THE PASTORS, ESTELLA'S FIRST DAUGHTER, BILLIE LOUISE, GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. SHE HAD MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE BUT MANAGED TO BE A GOOD STUDENT AND GRADUATED IN 1949 FROM APACHE HIGH SCHOOL. SHORTLY, AFTER BILLIE'S GRADUATION, ERVIN['S] AND ESTELLA'S MINISTRY TOOK A BIG STEP TOWARDS McCLAIN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. PURCELL HAD NO ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH SO THEY FELT THE DESIRE TO PIONEER THE FIRST CHURCH THERE. FROM ONLY THREE (THEIR FAMILY) THERE WAS ESTABLISHED ON THE CORNER OF SECOND AND COMANCHE STREETS A MONUMENTAL CHURCH THAT STILL REMAINS IN USE TODAY. THE PURCELL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH HAS QUITE A COLORFUL HISTORY. ITS BEGINNING WAS A UNITED EFFORT OF REV. VIRGIL CLAXTON; A MINISTER FROM NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, THE CONGREGATION FROM REV. CLAXTON'S CHURCH, ESTELLA AND ERVIN BAGWELL AND BILLIE LOUISE BAGWELL. THE FIRST SERVICES WERE HELD IN A TENT ACROSS THE STREET AND ON THE CORNER FROM WHERE THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH/PARSONAGE WAS TO BE ERECTED. ERVIN WAS PASTOR IN PURCELL FOR FIVE YEARS. DURING THOSE YEARS, ON AUGUST 24, 1950 IN CARTER COUNTY (ARDMORE), BILLIE LOUISE WAS MARRIED TO RUAL WAYNE BOBINS OF PONTOTOC COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. REV. LESLIE MOORE, PASTOR OF THE LIGHTHOUSE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN ARDMORE, PERFORMED THE WEDDING IN THE LIVING ROOM OF THE PARSONAGE. BILLIE HAD BEEN ON THE EVANGELISTIC FIELD WITH COWORKERS FOR A FEW YEARS (SHE WAS A LICENSED MINISTER WITH THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD) WHEN SHE MET RUAL IN ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS. FROM THAT UNION WERE BORN LINDA LOUISE ROBINS ON NOVEMBER 9, 1951; VIARETTA DARLENE ROBINS ON NOVEMBER 27, 1956; AND LARRY WAYNE ROBINS ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1959 ALL IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (NORMAN). A POINT OF INTEREST: UPON MOVING THE PURCELL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH TO A NEWER AND LARGER LOCATION THE FIRST BUILDING WAS PURCHASED BY THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES OF GOD (PCOG) WHERE THE PCOG CONGREGATION REMAINED UNTIL 1992. WHEN THE PCOG CONGREGATION PURCHASED LAND AND BUILT A NEWER AND LARGER BUILDING THE OLD BUILDING AT SECOND AND COMANCHE WAS GIVEN (NO MONIES EXCHANGED) TO A LOCAL MEXICAN MINISTER TO PIONEER A MEXICAN-AMERICAN WORK. HOW IRONIC THAT THAT MINISTER (UNKNOWINGLY TO THE PCOG CONGREGATION) HAD BEEN VIARETTA ROBINS KEITH'S PASTOR FOR 10 YEARS IN OKLAHOMA CITY DURING HER LATER TEENAGER YEARS AND EARLY TWENTIES AND HAD PERFORMED HER WEDDING TO STEPHEN RAY KEITH IN GREENE COUNTY, MISSOURI (SPRINGFIELD) AND DEDICATED ALL THREE OF HER CHILDREN: SEAN WESLEY KEITH BORN SEPTEMBER 5, 1983 IN CARTER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (ARDMORE); ANDREA LYNNE KEITH BORN NOVEMBER 7, 1987 IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (NORMAN); AND AMELIA LENE' KEITH BORN NOVEMBER 18, 1988 IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (NORMAN). HE WAS CONSIDERED "PART OF THE FAMILY" AND NOW TAKING OVER THE BUILDING WHERE ERVIN AND ESTELLA [MY GRANDPARENTS] BEGAN A WORK IN 1948. HOW OUR LIVES WEAVE A WEB THROUGH THE YEARS!!! IN 1953 ERVIN AND ESTELLA LEFT PURCELL TO MOVE TO THE BIG TOWN, OKLAHOMA CITY. THEY WERE ELECTED TO BE MINISTERS OF MIDWAY ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN DOWNTOWN OKLAHOMA CITY. UPON RELOCATING FROM SOUTH HARVEY TO SOUTH WALKER, THE CONGREGATION FLOURISHED AND IN 1964 RELOCATED TO 3612 SOUTH OLIE. THEY PASTORED THIS CONGREGATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY FOR A TOTAL OF 27 YEARS. UPON RETIREMENT IN AUGUST, 1983 (JUST A MONTH BEFORE THEIR FIRST GREAT-GRANDSON, SEAN WESLEY KEITH WAS BORN TO VIARETTA DARLENE ROBINS KEITH) THEY CONTINUED TO MINISTER UPON INVITATION IN VARIOUS CHURCHES. ERVIN WAS NOT A "GIVER-UPPER" AND MINISTERED UNTIL HIS DEATH IN DECEMBER, 1984. FROM THE BAGWELL'S MINISTRY WERE PRODUCED SEVERAL MISSIONARIES, MINISTERS, PASTORS AND MANY, MANY LAYMEN WHO CONTINUE IN OTHER CONGREGATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD. IT CAN BE WELL SAID THAT ERVIN AND ESTELLA BAGWELL'S MINISTRY WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL. THEIR MINISTRY WAS INDEED A FULFILLMENT TO THE GREAT COMMISSION CHRIST GAVE THE CHURCH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ESTELLA'S EULOGY WAS A FINE DESCRIPTION OF HER LIFE. REV. FRANK CARGILL, PASTOR OF THE CAPITAL HILL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA CITY, COMPARED HER LIFE TO DORCAS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. SHE SERVED OTHERS. SHE FOLLOWED ERVIN IN THE MINISTRY WHEREVER HE FELT LED. SHE MADE QUILTS, SEWED CLOTHES, COOKED MEALS, MADE PIES FOR SHUT-INS, ETC. AND GAVE OF HERSELF TO OTHERS. ESTELLA WAS NOT A "FANCY" WOMAN OF EARTHLY GOODS. SHE WAS PLAIN AND SIMPLE BUT GAVE EVERYTHING SHE HAD TO THE MINISTRY. SHE WAS NOT A SELFISH PERSON. SHE GAVE HER ALL, EVEN WHEN HEALTH WAS DETERIORATING AND ACHES AND PAINS WERE TAKING THEIR TOLL ON HER LIFE. MANY VOLUMES OF STORIES COULD BE WRITTEN OF ESTELLA'S EXPERIENCES IN THE MINISTRY AND THINGS THAT SHE DID OR SAID. ONLY ETERNITY WILL BE ABLE TO REVEAL ALL THAT SHE AND ERVIN DID AND ACCOMPLISHED WHILE ON THEIR EAR[TH]LY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE.
