MOM GAVE HER KIDS THE GREATEST GIFT THAT A PARENT CAN GIVE. THAT
GIFT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS THE CHRIST, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. SHE KEPT
HER KIDS IN CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL. SHE MADE SURE THAT WE KNEW ABOUT
GOD, THE FATHER, AND HIS LOVE FOR US. HOW GOD LEFT HIS THRONE IN HEAVEN
AND CAME DOWN TO US AS JESUS, GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, TO SAVE US AND
RECONCILE US TO GOD, THE FATHER. HOW GOD THE FATHER GAVE US HIS HOLY
SPIRIT, SEALING US FOR ALL ETERNITY WHEN WE FIRST BELIEVED AND ASKED HIM TO
BECOME OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
SHE NOT ONLY KEPT US IN CHURCH BUT TAUGHT US ABOUT GOD AND HIS LOVE
FOR US. SHE TAUGHT US TO LOVE GOD, TO RETURN THAT LOVE WHICH GOD GAVE US BY
LOVING OTHERS THE WAY GOD LOVES US. SHE ALSO LIVED WHAT SHE TAUGHT US
SETTING THE EXAMPLE FOR THE WAY IN WHICH WE SHOULD LIVE.
REMINISCENCES OF CHILDHOOD
--------------------------
ON 30 MARCH 1994 AT 7:30 P.M.
MOM SAID THAT LONNIE RUDD (HER MOTHER'S HALF-SISTER) MARRIED MARSHALL
HOUGH (PRONOUNCED HUFF). [ACTUALLY, LONNIE WAS TOMMIE AND MARGIE
HOUGH'S DAUGHTER; LONNIE'S GRANDMOTHER, NANCY, WAS MOM'S MOTHER'S
HALF-SISTER.] THE HOUGHS LIVED AT WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA WHEN MOM WAS 10 OR
11 YEARS OLD [1927 OR 1928]. BEFORE THAT, THEY LIVED IN TEXAS. MOM
THINKS IT WAS IRVING, [IN THE GREATER DALLAS AREA NOW]. THEY HIRED MOM'S
DAD [DEMPSEY ABE BAGWELL] TO PICK COTTON FOR THEM. (THEY PURCHASED COTTON
CROPS THAT OTHER FARMERS PLANTED AND THEN HARVESTED IT. IT WAS A COMMOM
PRACTICE IN THOSE DAYS.)
DEMPSEY LIVED AT POWELL, OKLAHOMA [PROBABLY ERICK] AT THE TIME. COUSIN
FRED [I DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF A FRED HOUGH UNLESS IT IS CHARLES] AND
TOMMIE DROVE TO POWELL AND HAULED DEMPSEY AND HIS FAMILY BACK TO
WEATHERFORD. (TOMMIE WAS MARRIED TO MARGIE.) AFTERWARDS, FRED AND TOMMIE
RETURNED TO TEXAS. DEMPSEY AND HIS FAMILY STAYED IN WEATERFORD. BEFORE
JANUARY OF THE NEXT YEAR, HOWEVER, DEMPSEY RETURNED TO POWELL FOR THE
FURNITURE.
MOM THINKS HER GRANDMOTHER RUDD (SUSANNAH S. WORRELL) DIED BEFORE
SHE WAS BORN BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER EVER SEEING HER. SISTER [FANNIE
BAGWELL NABORS] WAS THE ONLY ONE [SIBLING] WHO EVER SAW HER. I ASKED MOM
IF ERVIN EVER SAW HER. SHE DIDN'T THINK SO. MOM SAID THAT HER
GRANDMOTHER RUDD LIVED AT KELTIS [SPELLING IN DOUBT], TEXAS. [KELTIS IS
IN ANGELINA COUNTY.]
1 APRIL 1994 AT 10'O'CLOCK
REVEREND HOBSON WAS THE MINISTER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH THAT HER AND
DADDY [EARL GLEN CAUDLE, SR.] ATTENDED AT NEW LIBERTY [NEAR SAYRE IN
BECKHAM COUNTY, OKLAHOMA]. DADDY WOULDN'T GO TO THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
HOWEVER, REVEREND HOBSON WAS A BAPTIST PASTORING THE METHODIST CHURCH
THERE AT NEW LIBERTY. HE FOUND HIMSELF WITHOUT A BAPTIST CHURCH WHEN
THE METHODIST CHURCH FOUND ITSELF WITHOUT A PASTOR. HE APPLIED FOR THE
PASTORATE AND GOT IT. MOM SAID HE TOLD THE CONGREGATION THAT, "HE WAS A
BAPTIST AND HE MIGHT STEP ON SOME TOES NOW AND THEN ...."
REVEREND HOBSON MARRIED MOM AND DADDY. HE TOLD HER THAT DAD'S
10-YEARS AGE DIFFERENCE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING. MOM DISAGREES!!! SHE
THINKS IT DOES SINCE DADDY DIED FIRST.
BROTHER HOBSON CONVINCED DADDY THAT IT WAS OKAY TO GO TO A
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH. DADDY RESPECTED BROTHER HOBSON AND THEREFORE
BELIEVED WHAT HE SAID. [LATER AT MARRIETTA, OKLAHOMA, DADDY ATTENDED A
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH WITH MOM REGULARLY BECAUSE ATTENDING THE CHURCH
WAS CONVENIENT (IT WAS LOCATED ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVED IN THE
COUNTRY WHICH WAS 5 MILES WEST OF MARRIETTA) AND HE LIKED THE PASTOR
[BROTHER ROWLAND] THERE ALSO. IN FACT BROTHER ROWLAND HELPED DADDY BUILD
THE HOUSE WHERE WE LIVED THERE. A CYCLONE BLEW THE FIRST AWAY BEFORE THEY
FINISHEDIT; THEREFORE, HE HELPED DADDY BUILD THE SECOND ONE.]
WHEN SHE WAS 14 YEARS OF AGE, MOM SAID SHE WAS SAVED AT A SOUTHERN
BAPTIST REVIVAL AT ERICK, OKLAHOMA. LATER, SHE WAS BAPTIZED THERE. MOM
SAID SHE PREVIOUSLY WALKED DOWN THE AILE TO THE ALTER AT A NAZARINE CHURCH
AT WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA AND PRAYED (SHE HAD EARLIER RODE TO THE CHURCH
WITH HER FRIENDS AND THEY WENT DOWN THE AILE), BUT SHE REMEMBERS BEING
SAVED AT THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH THERE IN ERICK. [FROM WHAT SHE SAID
I DEDUCT THAT THE REVIVAL WAS HELD OUTSIDE THE CHURCH, POSSIBLY IN A TENT.]
MOM SAID HER DAD, DEMPSEY WAS ALWAYS SOUTHERN BAPTIST. I ASKED HER IF
THAT'S WHY SHE DIDN'T JOIN OR WASN'T BAPTIZED BY THE NAZARINE CHURCH. SHE
SAID," NO." SHE SAID SHE LIKED THE NAZARINE CHURCH. THERE WAS NO
HOLLERING.
MOM SAID THAT DADDY LATER WENT TO THE BAPTIST CHURCH BY HIMSELF
EVEN WHEN SHE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE GOING. SHE SAID THIS WAS BECAUSE BROTHER
HOBSON CONVINCED HIM THAT A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH WAS OKAY.
DADDY TOOK HER TO A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH IN MT. HOME, ARKANSAS
SOMETIMES, BUT THEY DIDN'T ATTEND REGULAR.
DADDY BUILT A HOUSE THERE AT MT. HOME WITH THE HELP OF HIS BROTHERS,
BURNICE AND ELWOOD. [DADDY EARLIER TOLD ME ONE TIME AFTER I WAS IN
COLLEGE, THAT HE BUILT A HOUSE AT MT. HOME AND LAYED OFF THE FOUNDATION
WITHOUT SQUARING IT. THE RESULT WAS THAT AFTER HE POURED THE CONCRETE
AND CUT THE LUMBER THE HOUSE WAS CROOKED. HE SAID THE WALLS WERE GOING
EVERYWHERE. HE HAD TO GO INTO TOWN AND FIND SOMEBODY THAT KNEW WHAT HE DID
WRONG. HE TOLD ME HOW THE MAN SHOWED HIM HOW TO SQUARE THE FOUNDATION
BEFORE DIGGING THE DITCHES AND POURING THE CONCRETE. AFTER MEASURING THE
SIZE OF THE HOUSE, DRIVING THE STAKES AT EACH CORNER, WRAPPING TWINE,
STRING, SMALL ROPE, OR LINES (SOME PEOPLE EVEN USED BAILING WIRE) AROUND
THE STAKES, YOU MEASURE A TRIAGLE AT ONE CORNER. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT
MEASUREMENTS BUT I THINK IT WAS 5 X 7. HE WAS IMBARRASSED ABOUT THE WHOLE
THING AND HE HAD TO BORROW MONEY BECAUSE OF IT.]
MOM SAID THAT DADDY WANTED TO LIVE IN MT. HOME BUT THAT HE COULDN'T
WAIT TO GET BACK TO OKLAHOMA WHEN HE LIVED THERE. [I ASKED DADDY IN 1968
TIME WHY HE MOVED TO MT. HOME. HE SAID THAT HE ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE
THERE WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG MAN. HE MOVED THERE FROM SAYRE, OKLAHOMA ABOUT
2-YEARS AFTER HIM AND MOM WERE MARRIED. HE BOUGHT 80 ACRES, A TEAM OF
HORSES, A PLOW, AND A WAGON. HE MADE ONE FURROW AROUND A FIELD WITH THE
PLOW, UNHOOKED THE HORSES FROM THE PLOW, HOOKED THEM UP TO THE WAGON,
DROVE TO TOWN, AND SOLD EVERYTHING TO A TEXAN WHO WALKED UP TO HIM ON THE
STREET. SURPRISED, I ASKED WHY HE DID THAT. HE SAID THERE WERE TOO MANY
ROCKS. HE SAID HE NEVER SAW SO MANY ROCKS IN HIS LIFE AND IT TOOK HIM TO
LONG TO PLOW ONE FURROW.]
MOM SAID THAT, BACK IN THOSE DAYS, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SO
MUCH MEANESS. THEY SLEPT OUT IN THE WOODS WHEN THEY TRAVELED TO
ARKANSAS. YOU CAN'T DO THAT TODAY. [WHEN I WAS SMALL AND WE MOVED TO
WINLOCK, WASHINGTON FROM MARIETTA, OKLAHOMA, WE STAYED IN A MOTEL. THE
ROOMS WERE REALLY SMALL COMPARED TO MOTEL ROOMS TODAY.]
SHE SAID HER MOM (ANNA LUCRETIA RUDD GILLENTINE-BAGWELL) DID NOT
LIKE OKLAHOMA. SHE NEVER SAID WHY BUT I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO
FAR AWAY FROM HER FAMILY AND SHE WAS A TEXAN THROUGH AND THROUGH. IT
ALSO COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO HER NOT BEING NEAR HER LITTLE BOYS (ERVIN
GILLENTINE AND HORASE WILLIAM BAGWELL) THAT SHE LOST. IT COULD HAVE ALSO
BEEN BECAUSE OF HAVING TO MOVE FROM CANTON, TEXAS BECAUSE THEY LOST THE
FARM.
HER DAD DROVE HIS DAD'S (HEZEKIAH CALHOUN BAGWELL) BODY BACK TO
CANTON, TEXAS AT NIGHT BECAUSE HE DIED ABOUT THE LAST DAY OF MAY AND IT
WAS BEGINNING TO GET HOT. HE DIED IN MAY 1925 OR 1926. [SHE TOLD ME
EARLIER THAT HEZEKIAH WOULD LOOK TOWARD THE EAST AND TALK ABOUT GEORGIA.
SHE SAID THEY WERE SITTING IN THE HOUSE WHEN THEIR DOG (BOUSER) RAN UP TO
THE HOUSE BARKING. THE DOG HAD EARLIER FOLLOWED HEZEKIAH TO THE COTTON
FIELD (AT POWELL, OKLAHOMA). AFTER A WHILE, HER DAD TOLD HER MOM THAT
THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LIKE OLD BOUSER TO BARK LIKE
THAT. HE FOLLOWED BOUSER RIGHT TO HIS FATHER'S BODY. HEZEKIAH WAS
ALREADY DEAD WHEN DEMPSEY GOT THERE. HE CARRIED HIM BACK TO THE HOUSE,
TOOK A DOOR DOWN AND LAID IT ACROSS THE TABLE AND LAID HEZEKIAH ON THE
DOOR. THEN HE PLACED SILVER DOLLARS ON HEZEKIAH'S EYES. THAT NIGHT
THEY HAD AN OLD FASHIONED WAKE WHILE HER DAD BUILT A COFFIN FOR HEZEKIAH.
THE NEXT MORNING DEMPSEY RENTED A CHEVROLET TRUCK TO HAUL HIS DAD TO
CANTON, TEXAS FOR BURIAL IN STAR CEMETERY.]
MOM CALLED HER DAD PAPA AND HER MOM MAMA.
MAMA WOULD NOT LET THEM START TO SCHOOL UNTIL THEY WERE 8 YEARS OLD
AND THEY WERE ALWAYS BEHIND IN CLASS.
MOM SAID SHE SKIPPED GRADE 6 TO CATCH-UP IN THE CLASS SHE WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE IN. SHE HATED TO BE BEHIND IN THE CLASS.
PAPA HAD A 7TH GRADE EDUCATION AND MAMA HAD A 3RD. MAMA WAS SMART
ABOUT BIBLICAL THINGS THOUGH FOR A PERSON WHO ONLY HAD 3 YEARS OF SCHOOL.
MOM THOUGHT THAT HER MOTHER MAY HAVE GOTTEN HER BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE FROM
PAPA WHOM MOM SAID WAS REALLY SMART. [MOM TOLD ME WHEN I WAS GROWING-UP
THAT HER DAD WAS SMART. SHE ALSO TOLD ME HE WAS MISCHEVIOUS. I WANTED
TO BE LIKE GRANDAD. SO WHEN SHE TOLD ME SOMETHING HE DID, I NOT
ONLY DUPLICATED IT BUT I EXAGGERATED IT. I WAS IN TROUBLE AT SCHOOL ALL
THE TIME AND MOM AND DAD NEVER DID FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS BEHIND IT.]
PAPA WOULDN'T LET HIS DAUGHTERS: VERA AND MOM, WORK FOR LESS THAN
$2 A DAY. THAT'S ALSO THE AMOUNT THAT PAPA WORKED FOR. PAPA LET THEM
KEEP THEIR $2 A DAY TO BUY CLOTHES AND THINGS.
LETTER MOM WROTE

POSTMARKED 11 MAY 1966
TUESDAY NIGHT
FROM: 5801 WILL ROOGERS RD.
MIDWEST CITY, OKLA. 73110
TO: PRESTON M. CAUDLE (AUDITOR) POSTAGE DUE 5 CENT
C/O ALTUS A.F.B. NOTIFIED MAY 12, 1966
ALTUS, OKLAHOMA (ABOVE STAMPED ON ENVELOPE)
DEAR SON:
THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE A FEW LINES TO YOU AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE
ADVICE CONCERNING KAY. SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN MIDWEST CITY I HAVE TALKED
TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT THEIR NERVES GAVE WAY ON THEM FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
ONE LADY WAS ON ACCOUNT OF HER BROTHER GETTING KILLED. I DO NOT REMEMBER
JUST HOW IT HAPPENED BUT THERE HAD BEEN OTHER THINGS BUILDING UP BETWEEN
HER & HER HUSBAND. SOME OF THEM WAS OVER THE CHILDREN AND THEN SUDDENLY
THE WORD ABOUT HER BROTHER & SHE BROKE.
SHE WAS IN COYNE CAMPBELL FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. I THINK IT WAS THE
LAST TIME I TALKED TO HER. SHE WAS STILL GOING BACK OVER THERE TO THE
DOCTOR THAT GAVE HER THE SHOCK TREATMENTS. SHE SAID WHEN SHE FELT SHE
MIGHT GO TO PIECES, SHE WENT FOR A TREATMENT. I THINK HE CHARGES HER
$10.00 BECAUSE SHE IS A PATIENT.
I TALKED TO ANOTHER ONE THAT WENT TO PIECES & HAD TO BE TREATED BY A
NERVE DOCTOR. HE TOLD HER HUSBAND THAT IT WAS UP TO HIM TO BRING HER OUT
OF IT. HE TOLD HIM TO NEVER SPEAK CROSS TO HER AND IF SHE WANTED TO
TALK TO HIM TO LISTEN. HE TOLD HIM TO ALWAYS BE HOME ON TIME AS NEAR AS
POSSIBLE & IF SHE WAS FEELING BAD OR REAL NERVOUS & DIDN'T HAVE SUPPER
READY TO TAKE HER OUT RIDING OR FOR HAMBURGERS OR JUST ANYTHING FOR A
DIVERSION. SHE SAID SHE WAS THAT WAY FOR A LONG TIME BUT THROUGH HIS
PATIENCE & KINDNESS SHE OVERCOME IT.
I ASKED KAY IF ANYTHING WAS BOTHERING HER OR MADE HER EXTRA NERVOUS
& SHE SAID THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY BOTHERED HER TO EXCESS WAS YOUR
STUDYING. SHE SAID SHE WAS UNDER A STRAIN WHEN THE KIDS WERE NOISY & YOU
WERE TRYING TO STUDY AND SHE WANTED SOME ONE TO TALK TO & GO PLACES WITH
& YOU WERE TOO BUSY STUDYING. SHE SAID SHE GUESSED YOU HAD STUDIED SO
LONG THAT SHE WAS JUST TIRED OF IT.
THERE IS PROBABLY A RESENTMENT OR 'JELLOUSNESS' THERE THAT CAUSES
PRESSURE. IT IS LIABLE TO COST YOU ABOUT $500.00 OR MAYBE A $1,000.00 IF
YOU KEEP ON & SHE CAN'T GET HERSELF 'STRAIGHTEENED' OUT. IT ALL DEPENDS
ON HOW BAD SHE GETS. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T EVER GET OVER IT ENTIRELY IF THEY
LET IT GO.
I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD FOR YOU TO BE CHEERFUL WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL
CHEERFUL BUT IF YOU COULD BE WHEN SHE IS DEPRESSED THAT WOULD DO MORE
GOOD THAN MEDICINE.
SHE SAID SHE KNEW WHY YOU WERE WORKING SO HARD BUT SHE JUST WANTED
CONPANIONSHIP NOW.
YOU MIGHT GO TALK TO A GOOD NERVE DOCTOR OR 'PHYCHARRIST' ABOUT IT &
SEE IF YOU CAN'T HEAD IT OFF BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE.
SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT SHE COULDN'T GET CLOSE TO MELITA AND THAT
WORRIES HER. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHY BUT SHE COULDN'T.
MELITA NEEDS YOU WORSE THAN KAY ANYWAY. I DO NOT MEAN THAT SHE
NEEDS YOU MORE THAN SHE DOES KAY. I MEAN SHE NEEDS TO FEEL A CLOSENESS
TO YOU AS HER DADDY. THERE IS SOMETHING IN A GIRL THAT LONGS FOR A
DADDY'S LOVE. I DIDN'T KNOW ALL OF THIS WHEN ANN WAS GROWING UP. IF I
HAD, I WOULD HAVE SHOVED HER ON TO GLEN IF I COULD HAVE. HE WAS TOO BUSY
THOUGH FOR ANY OF US. I RESENTED THAT TOO BUT I WASN'T SICK & I HAD
AWFULLY STRONG NERVES I GUESS.
ANOTHER THING I WAS SO BUSY ALL THE TIME. THE DAYS WERE NEVER LONG
ENOUGH TO GET ALL MY WORK DONE. AND BEING OUTSIDE WATCHING STUFF GROW IT
WAS SOOTHING AND BEFORE LONG I WOULD BE OVER MY HURT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVER LEFT THE FARM. I DO NOT HAVE THAT INNER PEACE
THAT I HAD WHEN I COULD BE OUTSIDE WORKING.
IF DADDY & I WOULD HAVE LIVED IN TOWN UNDER PRESSURE LIKE IT IS NOW &
GOT ALONG LIKE WE DID i WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HAD TO BE PUT AWAY OR
SOMETHING.
WELL MILFORD REMEMBER I LOVE YOU & THE ONLY REASON I AM WRITING THIS
IS TO HELP YOU. I LOVE KAY TOO & I CAN REMEMBER HOW SWEET SHE WAS WHEN
YOU WERE OVERSEAS. SHE MOTHERED EVERY BODY EXCEPT ANN. HER & ANN NEVER
COULD GET VERY CLOSE. BLESS HER HEART I KNOW SHE CAN BE HELPED & A LOT
DEPENDS ON YOU. SHE MAY SAY HATEFUL THINGS TO YOU BUT UNDERNEATH ALL OF
IT SHE REALLY LOVES YOU A LOT.
A PARTIME JOB MIGHT HELP HER. A FULL TIME JOB MIGHT BE TOO MUCH TO
START WITH.
PEGGY ALMOST HAD A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN ONE TIME THAT IS WHY SHE WENT
TO WORK THE FIRST TIME. EARL SAID IT REALLY HELPED HER.
BY BY.
MOM
