She wrote a letter in 1969 to Mary Alnora "Nora" Cox
Drennan (C2/10.4) who was researching the Whitmire family history at that
time:
"Fair Oaks,
California, 95628
November 5,
1969
My Dear Mrs. Drennan,
I was so happy to have your good letter this A.M. I am afraid I won't be able to give you much
information on the questions you asked.
I don't remember hearing my Dad speak of any of his folk except his
brothers, John and Kenchin, and if he had any sisters I don't remember hearing
him say anything about them. I was born
April 6, 1888, so you see I am not a spring chicken.
Are all your sisters living?
I remember seeing all the sisters you mentioned, and didn't Fannie
[Fannie Alice McCall (M3/3.3)] marry George Holley? They were right across the street from Maggie [Margaret Whitmire
Compton (W4/8.7)] in Georgetown. That's
been many years ago. I remember Ollie
[Oliver Elijah McCall (M3/3.6)], too.
I don't know who Brushy Ace's father was. That was before I was born. He married my aunt Margaret Pounds, but
they separated soon after, had no children.
[Margaret C. Pounds was married to Pony Whitmire March 6, 1879,
according to Williamson County Marriage Book 5, page 10.] She remarried my uncle, Elliston Collins,
mother's brother. Ace never married
again. He used to come to see us
often. The last time I saw him he had
gotten his neck broken, and I don't know how long he lived after that. Do you know how old Brushy Ace Whitmire and
Rocky Ace Whitmire [Asa C. "Ace" Whitmire (W4/7.1)] were when they
died? They were Papa's nephews . . . anyway
they always spoke of Papa as 'Uncle Carr.'
Do you know if any of their family is still living?
I last saw Becky [Rebecca Vera Whitmire Allen (W3/1.9)] was in
1908. She taught school at Berry's
Creek near Georgetown. One time I heard
that Becky married a man by the name of Allen.
That's all I know about them. I
don't know who the other girls married or who the McCall girls married or if
they are living. Do you know if Alf
[Alfred H. Whitmire (W3/1.6)] and Boss [William Henry "Boss" Whitmire
(W3/1.1)] married?
Aunt Creasie Lord [Lucretia "Crecy" Fish Lord
(F5/1.11)] was Dad's first wife's sister.
And do you know who *John Dykes mother was? Jodie Ward married *Jack Dykes.
I don't know if he was John's brother or not. You know Jodie was Ann Fish's daughter by her first husband.
My mother was Hester Collins.
She and Papa married in Williamson County near Georgetown. Papa is buried by the side of his first wife
down on the Lord Ranch, about six miles from Georgetown. I went to see their graves once. She has a marker, but I don't think Papa
does. I heard they had put a lot of the
land into cultivation now, and it has taken in the graves, but someone fenced
in the graves.
You know, people used to bury their folk any old place. Papa has four children buried on the Howell
Ranch about a mile from the old home.
We kids used to go to the graves quite often. I did not go to school at Chalk Ridge; I went to Yarbrough
School. It was right near Uncle Joe's
home. He and Aunt Matt took in the
teacher.
I remember your grandmother Nancy McCall [Nancy Almeda Whitmire
McCall (W4/7.7)]. I remember your
mother, Cinda McCall [Amanda Lucinda "Cinda" McCall Cox (M3/3.1)] and
John [John Hugh McCall (M3/3.2) and Mary [Mary Rosella McCall Mullen [M3/3.5]
and some of the others. I remember Aunt
Amanda Whitmire [Amanda M. Fish Whitmire (F5/1.2)] and her children, Aunt
Roach [Christianna "Roach" Whitmire (W4/7.4] and Ike [Isaac A.
Whitmire (W4/7.6)] who were Nancy's sister and brother.
I remember there were two men named Ace Whitmire whom I have
already mentioned. One was called Rocky
Ace because he lived 'on Rocky Creek,' and one was called Brushy Ace because he
lived 'on Brushy Creek.' I think they
were cousins.
My father's name was Carr Whitmire, and he was married
twice. His first wife was Jerusha Fish
[(F5/1.7)], and they had the following children:
Becky [Rebecca
"Becky" Whitmire (W4/8.2)] who married Jim Fielder.
Lou
[(W4/8.1)] who married Jess Calder.
Eda [(W4/8.3)] who married Frank Yarbrough
Jane [Mary Jane
Whitmire (W4/8.6)] who married Louis Pegram
Mell [Melonia
Whitmire (W4/8.5)] who married John Hargrove
Maggie [Margaret
Whitmire (W4/8.7)] who married Billie Compton
Ebb [(W4/8.4)]
who married Matt Osteen
All these are deceased.
There are all Papa's first children.
I loved them all dearly, as if they were my full sisters, and Ebb was a
wonderful person. I loved him dearly.
Yes, we are related to the Calders. Charlie Calder did live at Lometa, Texas the last I heard. He is Lou and Jess Calder's son.
Ebb's daughter and her baby were killed in Georgetown around
1908 when their mules were frightened by car lights. You know, that was when cars first began to get on the roads, and
there were many accidents and deaths from teams being frightened by them. Their team became frightened and backed
their wagon off a bridge and they drowned.
Her name was Willie Maggie Whitmire.
She married Robert McDonald. He
remarried after Willie's death.
I can remember Jim and Can Shedd [Canzada "Can"
Whitmire Shedd (W4/7.3)] coming to our house when I was about 4 or 5 years
old. "Rocky" Ace Whitmire
[(W4/7.1)] married Claricie Shedd [Clarissa Abigail Shedd Whitmire
(S4/1.1)]. She and Jim Shedd were
brother and sister. I remember John and
Jess were Rocky's boys, also Alf and Boss and Otho were his boys.
Are you a daughter of Jim Cox [James Madison Cox (C3/4.10)] or
Tom Cox [Jehu Thomas Cox (C3/4.6)]?
They were real tall men and used to come to see Maggie [Margaret C.
Whitmire (W4/8.7)], my half sister.
Becky Whitmire [Rebecca Vera Whitmire (W3/1.9)] taught school on
Berry's Creek, three miles north of Georgetown. That is about the last time I ever saw her. I really thought a lot of her. She boarded with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Turner. I also lived with the Turners
for some time.
I have made my own way since I was 12 years old. I don't want to bore you with my troubles,
but sometimes it helps to air the past.
I want to say before I close that Ebb [W4/8.4] and Matt
[(O4/1.1)] are buried at Jericho; Billy [Billy Compton (C4/1.1)] and Maggie
[Margaret Whitmire Compton (W4/8.7)] are buried in Georgetown; Louis [William
Pegram (P4/1.1)] and Jane [Mary Jane Whitmire Pegram (W4/8.6)] are buried at
Copperas Cove; Mell [Melonia Whitmire Hargrove (W4/8.5) is buried at Sour Lake;
Jim [Jim Fielder (F4/1.1) and Becky Fielder [Rebecca "Becky" Whitmire
Fielder (W4/8.1) are buried in the Buck Cemetery near Andice. I do not know where Eadie [Eda Whitmire
Yarbrough (W4/8.3)] and Frank Yarbrough are buried, but probably at Copperas
Cove as they lived there a long time.
They told me that Boss [William Henry "Boss" Whitmire
(W3/1.1)] went to [New] Mexico and was doing real well. I suppose they have all gone on before now,
as they were all older than I.
I have been a widow for 29 years. I am living now with my son and his wife and have been here more
than two years. I have a family of
four, two sons and two daughters. One
son and one daughter live in Austin.
The boys served in World War II.
My oldest son came home with a slight shoulder wound. I am so thankful to have them home. My oldest son fought in Battle of
Normandy. Thomas served 20 years. He was in the air force and was stationed here
at Hickman Field.
I believe I have told you all I know about the Whitmire
clan. I, too, wish I knew more about
them. I believed Papa said he came from
Mississippi. I hope I have been some
help to you in writing your family tree.
I have got to where I am so shakey I hate to try to write. I hope you can read this. Glad you wrote me and hope to hear from you
again.
Sincerely,
Iva Whitmire
Hausenfluck"
Ora Ethel Cox Gowen (C2/10.1) in 1984, at age 89, mentioned that
she remembered "Brushy Ace" Whitmire and believed him to be a cousin
to her mother. She recalled that he did
not live near them, but visited them each fall to pick cotton. She reported, "He was a good worker,
but getting old. Once in picking
cotton, one of the kids beat him, and it made him mad, and he picked up his
sack and left. He said he wasn't going
to work anywhere a kid could beat him.
We never saw him again."
Iva Whitmire Hausenfluck (W4/8.8) wrote a second letter to Mrs.
Drennan the following year after she had returned to Austin:
"Austin, Texas
May 1970
Dear Nora,
You were speaking of pictures in the Georgetown Courthouse. Papa said one day when he was in town they
told him they wanted to take his picture as they were making all the old timers
pictures. So I am the only one that has
his picture, and, of course, I am real proud of it. I look at it every time I go in there. [His picture in the
pioneers gallery is imprinted with the date of his arrival in Williamson
County--April 1851.]
Did you notice the old log houses in those pictures? I was born in one like those. Papa hewed the logs and built his own house,
and we were all born there. After Papa sold the place the man moved it over on
his place for a barn. So I have never
seen it but one time, and it looked so small I don't think Mr. Howell used all
the logs, some may have been rotten and not fit to use.
You spoke of the old Fish place. Is that where the spring is just under the hill? I wonder if that
spring is still running. I first
remember that place by the name of the Dykes place for *John and Jack Dykes
used to live there. Then after them the
Comptons lived there, and the last ones that lived there were the Thompsons.
He walled up the spring and irrigated a few acres of vegetables
and hauled them to Georgetown and sold them.
He really made a lot of stuff, but he only lived there two or three
years. Then they moved back to
Georgetown, and I don't remember any more about them. I suppose they have passed on.
Mr. Howell, Spencer's Grand-dad, bought the place, and I don't
know who owns it now. I wish I could go
back there one more time to see our old place.
I have only been there once since the house was moved, and it seemed so
lonely. I wish I could go buy it, build
a shack and live there the rest of my life which I know is not long. I am living on borrowed time. I cannot see very well, but grateful that I
can see as well as I do.
Love to all, your cousin,
Iva Whitmire
Hausenfluck"
P.S. These are the
children of Carr Whitmire and his second wife who were married November 19, 1885.

*Felma G. Headrick of Georgetown wrote of the Dykes November 18,
1969:
"Ellen Scudder of Mazie, Oklahoma may be dead. She was in bad health the last Mama heard
from her. Her brother and sister usta
live here--the sister died--then Ellen taken the brother home with her, then he
died. Ellen first married a Dykes. Ellen has two sons by Dykes. Maybe their father was this James Alford
Dykes you mentioned. My father's mother
was an Alford. I imagine this James
Alford Dykes' mother was an Alford and related to us. Did Mrs. Mott give you any information about Osteen? He was an Indian or part. We heard on the news at noon that Iva
Whitmire Hausenfluck's son Thomas was drowned in California. They are bringing him to San Antonio for
burial. He is the son that Iva lived
with, so I guess she is a sad mother today.
Iva has children living in Florence."
