Derryberry Family Newsletter Online # 20, July 10, 2000

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, here goes again. I had this 7 page newsletter all ready to go and tried to send it. It kept timing out. I got frustrated and started trimming it, thinking I’d made it too long. To make a long story short, I hit the wrong combination of keys and overwrote it with a short file. Zip. There it went. For good. No recovery.

I hope I can recall all that was in it and where it came from. I have Half-timers, rather than All-timers, so maybe the half will work. But I doubt it. I may miss some things that different ones have asked me to put into the newsletter. If so, please let me know.

Ima Sue Robertson Duncan, grand daughter of Eunice Iona Derryberry and Miller Robertson, is gravely ill, into kemo. She might appreciate your remembrance. Her address is Sue Duncan, Box 62, Frisco, TX 75034.

The National Reunion of the family is Saturday at the Union Hall in Spring Hill, TN. Go to the family website http://artvilla.com/ndfa for details.

The reunion is slated for eastern OK next year. Barring something drastic happening in the interim, I’ll be there. Will you?

Emily Summer Walden and James Gregory Swisakn have announced their engagement to be married July 29, 2000. Emily is a grand daughter of Thurman Buell Derryberry, Sr and Dorothy Caolyn Clay.

I’m going to try something new by posting some pictures on Photopoint.com for viewing. They will remain posted there until Sept. 1, 2000. If you want a copy, download it before that time. You should be able to view them while online by copying the http... and pasting it on your screen where http addresses go and clicking GO. It works that way for me, using Windows 98. Might not work on an Apple.

The first one is Henry Walter Derryberry family sent by Rick Derryberry.

Still looking for ancestors of Drucella Derryberry b. 10 May 1932 at Emory, TX who married James S. Hogue .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just found close cousins that I did not know existed. George Young contacted me. He is son of Genavieve Derryberry (she spelled it with an a, he says) and Lester Young. He told me of Inez Derryberry and Lawrence Wood’s daughters. They were in El Paso, TX. Inez’s daughters are Sally and Sue. Sally married Dick de Bruyn. Sue married Sgt. Kieth Ernest.

Inez and Genavieve were daughters of Henry Milton Derryberry and Willie McGee. Genavieve died 4 Dec 1983. Lester died 26 Mar 1985. Inez last known of in 1991 living in a retirement center.

Lester Young was with the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, USDA for many years at College Station, TX. Lawrence was with the Texas Highway Department (now the Texas Department of Transportation) for many years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guy Fay Derryberry sent me an obituary for Hubert Curry Derryberry, age 94, listed 28 Nov 1999 in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Hubert was a retired farmer and licensed practical nurse, died of heart failure 27 Nov 1999. He was buried in the Toone Cemetery. His wife, Eva Chapman, preceded him in death. They have a daughter Ann Ervin of Bolivar, a son Roy Derryberry of Memphis and three grand children.

We do not know ho he was, how he was related. Anyone know?

Guy also asked that I inquire if anyone knows anything about Felix Teague and Loella F. Teague, orphans ofv Abraham Teague and Susan Derryberry. Susan aparently died in childbirth in 1849. Guy guesses that Abraham moved to Izard Co., AR about 1855. Anyone got a clue?

Received a query about an Andrew Derryberry who was an attorney in Madison Co., TN about 1850. Do you know who he was?
