32. Judge George Washington Gordon
George Washington Gordon moved fom Missouri to Texas in 1866 with parents and settled near Paris, Lamar Co., Texas. In 1871, George decided that he was ready to start out to face the world. His father gave him a span of good mules and harness and a new wagon fitted out with extra side boards, feed, box, spring seat and bows. George went to work for his uncle Dave Gordon of Houston County, Texas. Dave Gordon had married the widow Martha Ann Thames Mobley. George married Martha Ann's daughter Mary Jane Mobley on December 7, 1871 in Daly's, TX.
From "A History of Oklahoma," Vol. 2, p297 by L.B. Hill published by Lewis Publisher Chicago, Illinois there is an account of George Washington Gordon and several of his direct relations: "Among those who have taken an active interest in the development and improvement of Kiowa County is numbered George W. Gordon, a prominent farmer and fruit grower." ---
"There being no railroads in the state (Texas), he engaged in freighting with his ox teams, finding this a profitable employment and thus continuing until 1877, when he got together a bunch of cattle and took them to Jack County, later buying land in Young County, adjoining, and he continued in the stock business there until 1880. Selling his stock he followed the sheep business until 1885, when he sold both his land and sheep and moved to Chickasaw Nation, where he leased land and remained for six years. At that time there were no railroads in that part of the country and Mr. Gordon hauled his farm products one hundred and ten miles to market. In 1889, at the opening of the Cheyenne country for settlement, he obtained a claim in Wichita County, improved an excellent farm and remained there for ten years, during four years of which time his wife was postmistress of Canterbury postoffice, the office being located in his farm house. This house was also a popular stopping place ffor all who came that way, all being welcome; and Mr. Gordon became widely known and very popular in that community. In 1901, he sold his land in Wichita County and coming to Hobart bought three lots during the first sale here; each of which has since been improved and sold to business men. In 1904, he bought sixteen and a half acres adjoining the corporate limits, and built a brick house on Fourth Street, but this has since been sold. During his residence in the City he was in ward four, which he represented two terms in the city council, and was also elected a justice of the peace, but he would not qualify for that office.
Soon after buying his sixteen and a half acre tract he built a barn, and this served as his home until his nine-room brick residence could be erected. This is pleasant home, overlooking the town and surrounding country, and it is comfortably furnished and finished. Mr. Gordon devotes a large portion of his land to the cultivation of fruits of various kinds, having at least two thousand trees and one and a half acres of different kinds of berries, and among his growing trees has planted four acres of alfalfa, which produces all the hay he will need for his team of horses, his cow and hogs. He also raises about fifty dollars worth of cotton to the acre. He has a farm of 160 acres in Kiowa, and one of like size in Altus, Jackson County. He is a stockholder in the Farmers Gin Company and is numbered among Kiowa County's leading and influential citizens.
The following from the manuscipt, "Laura's Story" provides more family details:
"In May of 1887, George and his family herded their cattle and horses across the Red River into the famous Cherokee Strip during flood stage. George and his son Andrew Jackson Gordon, Sr. were on horses and managed to get all their stock and belongings across. The rest of the family went across on a ferry boat.George and his family bought a farm in the Chiskasaw Nation near Velma, Chickasaw Indian Territory. When the Cheyenne and Arapaho Reservation was opened for white settlement on April 19, 1892, George made a "run" for a claim. They registered and waited for the twelve noon shot as a signal to begin the "run." He staked a 160 acre claim on Oak Creek near Mountain View, Oklahoma. By 1916, he owned three fine farms near Altus, Oklahoma and was considered wealthy. He was a Justice of the Peace and was called "Judge" or "The Good Squire Gordon." Had 65 grandchildren." (The foregoing material summarized from a very interesting manuscript entitled "Laura's Story" written by George Washington Gordon's daughter Laura C. who married John Kenner Coker).
Following the death (due to mastitis) of his wife Mary Mobley in 1897, he married Sara Rosa Coen.George apparently bought a family burial plot at the Mountain View Cemetary OK, but he was buried at the IOOF Cemetary, Neosho, MO after moving to Seneca MO late in life.
His first wife Mary Jane Mobley Gordon, his sons Andrew J. Gordon, Sr., and Lewis Mobley Gordon, and grandson Emmit Davenport Gordon are buried in the Mountain View Cemetery.OBITUARY
George W. Gordon was born in Clark county, Missouri, June 8th, 1849. Died at his home in Seneca, Mo., at 2:15 o'clock Wednesday, August 17, 1927, at the ripe age of 78 years, 2 months and nine days. Was the youngest of seven children of William and Sarah Walding Gordon and grandson of Robert Gordon who located in middle Tennessee in an early day in its history. Was of Scotch descent. He moved to Lamar county Texas, with his parents when a lad of 18 years, and assisted his father in 1867 in improving the homestead and remained under the parental roof until 23 years of age. He was married Dec 9, 1872, to Miss Mary Mobley, a native of Mississippi, at Daly's, Texas. She died near Cloud Chief, Okla., Jan. 24, 1897, at the age at 41 years and 9 months,
To this union eleven children were born. They are Andrew J., deceased; Lewis M. of Gotebo; Mrs. J.K. Coker, Eakley; Mrs. C. W. Calvert, Winlock, Wash.; Mrs. S. J. Ward, Wewoka; Mrs. E. W. Bottom, Gotebo; Mrs. C. B. Richards, Wewoka; Mrs. G.W. Pettyjohn, Oklahoma City; G.W. Gordon Jr., Alfalfa; Mrs. D.T. Montgomery, Oklahoma City; Virgil C., of Neosho, Mo. A1l of whom were at his bedside at the time of his death, except Mrs. Calvert of Washington. One brother, Charles of Pernell, Okla., is the only surviving member of his father's family; he also leaves 56 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. He suffered severely for several years with kidney trouble., but his last illness lasted only two weeks. While be suffered terribly, he was patient thru it all and was not heard to murmur nor complain, but bore his afflictions as only a Christian can He prayed that God to His mercy would relieve him by piloting him across the tide. He always said that he would rather be a poor man in the house of God, than to possess the riches of this world. In 1899 he was married to Miss Rosa R. Coen of Altus, Okla., who survives him. She is a native of Indiana. During his sickness he was attended by a splendid physician, and many good friends who did all that could be done for his comfort.
He had been a noble Christian man for about fifty-three years, member of Christian church, and had lived a life so becoming to a child of God.
He came from Texas to the Indian Territory with his parents forty-one years ago, thence to the Cheyenne country when it opened for settlement and improved his claim in Washita county, where he lived for ten years, afterward lived at Hobart, Kiowa county and Altus, Jackson county, each for several years.
Has lived in Arkansas and Missouri for the past ten years, in the hope that his health might be benefited. Funeral services were conducted in the home by Elder McMeachin of Springfield, Mo., on the day following his death, amid a profusion of potted and cut flowers which were tokens of esteem in which he was held.
The splendid singing was rendered by a male quartette of Tulsa, Okla., and others. His body was laid to rest in the Neosho Cemetery to await the resurrection morning.
He was a faithful companion, a most devoted father and made warm friends wherever he lived. Leaving the good works of his life to follow him, he passes from this stage of action to try the realities of' the great. unknown, "where we never grow old..
“Dear wife and children weep not."He is not dead; he is just away"
“Because I live, ye shall live also,"
"Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believeth thou this!"
Let us sorrow not as others who have no hope; but with a hope made sacred and sure by the Gospel of Christ and with a faith undisturbed, let as hope and dream of that eternal life that awaits the faithful. --- One Who Loves Him.
33. Mary Jane Mobley
The family moved to near Crockett, Texas soon after the father Harvey Mobley died in 1865.
Fom the book "A History of Oklahoma," " --- a valued and worthy member of the Christian Church."
From "Annies Story" ---our dear Mother became ill the fall of 1896. Lewis rode to the school house to bring the news and all of us were allowed to go home at once. Dr. Dee Reynolds of Cloud Chief treated her for some time with no improvement. Next Papa got a big German Dr. from Old Shelly up on the Washita and he would drive down in his one horse buggy wearing a big fur coat (wish I could remember his name). He prescripted poulticing the terribly caked breast (hard as stone) with linseed meal, which we cooked in the ancient “little skillet” on the open fire place. This was kept up constantly for a long period of time. Finally sharp piercing pain cut through like knifes almost unbearable. The Dr. advised that she get to Ft. Worth for surgery. So Papa rigged up a bed in the wagon and took her to Chickasha the nearest railroad at the time. Put her on a Pullman car and took her to Ft. Worth, Tex. The Dr. who examined her told your Grandpa that he could do nothing and to get back home for she could not live long. In a down pour of rain he got her back on a train. When they reached Chickasha an awful blizzard of drifting snow had struck. They stopped at the Fait Mission as could not travel farther. There they were lodged several days til the weather moderated and snow drifts melted enough for them again to travel. Then they came through the slushy snow.
My mother went to her reward at the early age of forty two years 9 months and 20 days. A more pathetic scene cannot be imagined that this weeping family of eleven children. Our dear young father left with several small children the youngest Virgil at only 18 months old, Bertie 4, Walter 6, Jessie 9, Eppie 12, Annie 14, Ivy 16, Fannie 18, Laura 20, Lewis 21, Andrew 23. Andrew was not a Christian and he blamed God for taking Mama from us. He voiced his sentiments in no uncertain terms, saying that it was a very unjust God to take a mother from her little children like that! That was the darkest night in our lives. Mrs. Bottom and Aunt Vici Mays an older sister of Mr. Bottom also Kenner Coker were with us to do what they could. It was another very cold time and tho Papa and the boys kept a roaring fire in the big fireplace, it was hard to keep warm. Next morning Mr. Bottom sent Elwood and his fleet footed little glass eyed white pony “Snow” through the sleet and snow on a more than 40 mile round trip ride to take the sad news to mother’s brother and family Uncle Matt Mobley. Also to try to get a preacher, of whom there were very few in the country. Years afterwards your Papa said that was the coldest ride he had made! My Uncle could not come as had to try to keep his family from suffering with the cold blizzard.
Papa had some nice walnut lumber sawed from trees during the preceding four years and it was stored in the barn loft. So he and Mr. Frank Stewart, a neighbor, got started at an early hour and made the coffin which was lined with black as was customary in those days. It was trimmed with black satin ribbon. Also, material for the shroud was purchased at Cloud Chief -- another cold trip!
Aunt Annie #5On the second day her dear body was placed in the new coffin and loaded into the big wagon and in zero weather we drove 5 miles to old Mountain City to the only cemetery in the new county. A fire was built to keep from freezing and a selection of songs was sung by all. Brother R.B. White and Miss Ellen Tuitin and probably Ella White and I think a passage of scripture was read and the one song I remember was “Farewell Mother” God knows best when to call thee home to rest. A very somber funeral with no flowers. But we knew she had passed to be with Jesus. With freezing tears we turned homeward leaving her there on the lone prairie. Her grave being probably the 4th or 5th grave in the new burying ground near the Washita -Kiowa Co. line.
Dear Mrs. Jordan the teacher and mother of two little boys had stayed home with the 4 youngest children and kept the fire going from a stack of wood stocked inside and she probably had something cooked. Time and grief have dimmed many details. All I recall is that the whole world seemed so bleak and even now after a lapse of almost 70 years the memory of that time strikes a pain through my heart.
Time nor Tide wait for No Man-so life had to go on someway. We had to pick up the broken threads of life’s weaving and try to smooth and weave them back as best we could. Andrew and Lewis were soon off to jobs. Laura went back to finish her school. Fannie back to Mrs. Faits and taking 12 year old Eppie to go to school at the Mission. So Sister Ivy and I took over with Papas help the management of our household. That was a “far cry” from our present day homes with made in conveniences.

Home in 1930: Hunter, Tillman, OklahomaOBITUARY:
It is again in the mystery of life, that the mystery of death laid it hand;
It has taken our mother to that other world, a higher and happier land.
There's a place prepared in that Heavenly realm, for mothers such as she;
Our grief is so great though we try to relent, Thy Will, Lord, let it be.Mrs. W.B. Stewart, whose maiden name was Isabella Killen, was born in Henderson County, Texas, on September 12, 1852. She has lived to the age of 87 years, 3 months, and 19 days.
While a young girl, she was baptized into the Church of Christ, but later became a member of the Methodist Church with her husband, William Bailey Stewart to whom she was married on March 19, 1871.
To this union were born 10 children. One, John Wesley, died in infancy, and Oscar of Carter, OK passed away on May 9, 1935. She is survived by six sons, two daughters, twenty-six grandchildren, and twenty-two great grandchildren. The sons are Thomas Bailey Stewart of Lorenzo, Texas; W.B. Stewart of Carter, OK; J.W. Stewart of Blythe, CA; C.C. Stewart of Sweetwater, OK; Bart G. Stewart and Louis E. Stewart of Roswell, NM. The daughters are Mrs. Lulu Baley of Clarendon, TX; and Mrs. Myrtie Rathjen of Balboa, CA.
Some of the outstanding characteristics of Mrs. W.B. Stewart were her great devotion to her children and friends, and her patience in times of trouble and affliction.
She was a grand mother and was loved by all who knew her.Dawes Commision applications shows that Isabelle applied to enroll as a Cherokee, but was disapproved. Cherokee settlers who had settled in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri were not living in the Cherokee Nation were considered U.S. citizens, and were ineligible to sign the Dawes Rolls for Cherokees. Those descended from these Cherokees are unable to enroll in the Cherokee Nation even if they are able to prove their Cherokee heritage. Her application was supported by two Cherokees (John Ross and Thomas White) who had known Isabelle's grandfather Champion Choate as a Cherokee in the Old Cherokee Nation in Tennessee before Champion and his wife Ann Burke (who may have also been a mixed blood Cherokee) had moved to Arkansas and subsequently to Texas.
38. Lieutenant, CSA Thomas Jefferson Little
American Civil War Soldiers Record about Thomas J Little
Name: Thomas J Little ,
Enlistment Date: 07 September 1862
Distinguished Service: DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
Side Served: Confederacy
State Served: Kentucky
Unit Numbers: 1899
Service Record: Enlisted as a Sergeant 1st Class on 07 September 1862 Enlisted in Company A, 5th Infantry Regiment Kentucky on 07 September 1862. Transfered on 18 September 1862 from company A to company B Promoted to Full Lieutenant 2nd Class on 16 November 1862.
He surrendered with his company May 6, 1865 at Washington, GA.
"Thomas Jefferson Little was a conscript in the Civil War, from Tennessee. Little signed the "Pledge of Allegiance" to the Federal Government, for which he was considered a traitor to the Confederates. T.J. Little might have been kept in the filthy prison camp at McClean Barracks, Cincinnati, OH until the close of the Civil War had not other Confederate prisoners who knew T.J. reported to him that his mother was dying. This gave T.J. the courage to sign the "Pledge of Allegiance" which gave him his release. Little and a cousin, John South, made their way stealthily along the byways to the area of Knoxville where his mother lived. They found the Federals had burned their home and his mother was lying sick on a cot in a shanty that had been spared the burning. Little knew that the Confederates would shoot him if he was caught. He went in to see his mother and his cousin called, "They are coming." Little and his cousin, John South, made their escape out the back way and they noted three Confederates with cocked guns were going through the trees away from the three horses they had ridden into the front yard. Little and John South jumped on two of the horses and kept going until they reached Texas. When the War ended, they returned to Knox County to find Little's mother had been buried. After he married Alice Adelia Copeland, most of the Souths, the Littles and the Copelands moved to Cherokee Co., TX". Other interesting details in the manuscript "Yea: I Have A Goodly Heritage. Psalms 16-6" by Adelia Stewart Sallee.

Hanson 2MJames W. Hanson obituary
"Mr. James W.Hanson, son of Mary Lisle and George Hanson, was born in Hunter, Belmont County, Ohio on Oct. 2, 1849 and passed from this earthly existence at Las Vegas, N. Mex. on Sept. 14, 1939, lacking at the time of his passing but 18 days of attaining the unique age of 90 years. In January 1876, at Chetopa, Kans. he was united in marriage with Sarah Ackridge. His good wife preceded him in death by 24 years. To this union was born five children. Two daughters have gone on before, one at birth, and miss Birdie Hanson at 19 years of age. Three children are left to feel the breaking of the parental tie, Mrs. Mayme Hanson Snyder of Las Vegas, Mrs. L. F. Wright of E1 Paso, Texas, and a son Mr. Wm. W. Hanson also of E1 Paso. These, with 3 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren and a number of other relatives and a host of friends are left to mourn the loss of a loved one. He was one of the original homesteaders in this community, coming here in a covered wagon in 1878. After the construction of the Santa Fe R.R. he was employed a number of years at their Montezuma bath houses. A few years later he moved to a ranch in the vicinity of Las Vegas on the Mora road. His last years have been spent in the homes of his children. It is interesting to note that his ancestry can be traced back to Revolutionary War days. A Brig. Gen., born in Ireland, named Richard Montgomery, was killed in the unsuccessful attack on Quebec, under Gen. Benedict Arnold. A great-grandfather, Capt. Elijah Hanson, also served in the Revolutionary War as commander of the N. Carolina Regiment. Mr. Hanson was one of the best shoemakers of his day, and is known to have made shoes for the notorious "Billy, the Kid."
While he never united with any church, Mr. Hanson always favored such work, himself living an honest and upright life, exemplifying in his life the teachings of our common Lord and Master."In 1890, James Hanson homesteaded 160 acres on the upper Gallinas River near Las Vegas in San Miguel Co., NM. Identified as Aliquot Parts of 43, Sections 6, 7 and 8, Range 14-E. The homestead location appears to have been on the Gallinas River in a beautiful mountain meadow now (2004) known as Terrell Ranch about 20 miles from Las Vegas.
His obituary indicated that his ancestry could be traced back to Revolutionary War Days to Brigadeer General Richard Montgomery. Gen. Montgomery, born in Ireland, was a former British Officer, but became an American General. General Montgomery was the first American General killed in the Revolutionary War while leading the unsuccessful attack on Quebec. Gen. Montgomery apparently had no children of record, so James Hanson may have descended from an illegitimate son of Gen. Montgomery.Death Certificate lists James W. Hanson as a Rancher, and that he had lived in San Miguel County for 50 years.
