1992, comment by Robert Zane Sullivan, son of William Anderson Sullivan, son of Harriet Emily Stidham Tice Sullivan. When I was a small boy grandmother Sullivan would talk to me about how things were when she was a young girl. She told me that her father was a minister, farmer, blacksmith who found it hard to make a living in the very hard time following the Civil War. He farmed, but there was no demand for corn, and what market there was, was over impassable trails, he was a blacksmith, but so were many others, he preached but few could afford the collection plate. So he cut and shaped the timbers, forged the steel, and built one wagon each year, to earn cash money for the familey needs. Of course this did not meet all the needs so he converted the bulky corn into a more profitable, less bulky product. He built and operated a still, many others made corn whiskey, so he found a way to beat the competition. He bought, in bulk, dried apricots and had great-grandmother Julia Ann dry them in the over until they were crisp, she then crushed them into powder with the rolling pin, place the powdered apricots in a cloth bag. He would hang the bag of apricots under the worm and let the hot raw alcohol drip through the bag where it picked up the color and flavor of the fruit. The casks of sudo-brandy were easily packed by mule over the rough narrow trails into town where it sold very readily for cash. In his pursuits as a blacksmith, he did all of the iron work on the wagons that he built, and shaped cow bells from thin iron, then using scraps of brass and copper he would place the iron bells, individually, in a casement of clay, with a small amount of brass or copper, let the clay dry, then fire it in his forge, heating until a small blue gaseous flame could be seen coming from a breather hole that had been left to prevent the clay mold from exploding. He would roll the clay ball around so the molten brass would coat the iron making it rustproof. Each had it's distinct sound and every cow wearing one could be identified by everyone in the neighborhood. ANDERSON BAILEY SULLIVAN, b, May 27, 1864, son of Jim Eli Sullivan, of Carolina, (Who is John Sullivan in Arkansas? A brother to Anderson, I think. But on data or conformation.) When or why Anderson came to be in Marion Co. Alabama and was acquaint with Harriet and John Tice, (I never heard any discussion of this part of their lives.) He had left Alabama, either laying rail into Texas or had come to Texas and was hired on the grade crew. He heard from family or friend that Tice had been killed and wrote a letter to grandma and ask if she would come to Texas and marry him. She responded that she and Ida would join him when they could get there. Granddad sent money for the rail ticket, grandma with Ida joined him in Weatherford, Parker Co. Texas and married on November 30, 1893, Parker County Marrage Records Book 4A, page 559. courtesy of Lowell Sullivan Jr. 1303 Bois D'Arc St. Weatherford, TX. 76086 Granddad quit the railroad and contracted for a sharecropper farm. As the family increased granddad mover to larger and supposably better farms. Texas Arkansas, Texas, Arkansas Oklahoma Territory, Texas, Oklahoma Grandma leached hardwood ash for lye water to use in making hominy, bleaching squirrel skins, and making soap. Every time a squirrel was killed, the skin was bleached and tanned to make the ladies gloves necessary for the women and girls to ware to church or social gatherings. Black-eyed peas were planted by the acre and during the growing season were a staple in the diet as fresh peas but as soon as vines began drying, they were uprooted , raked into windrows, loaded and hauled to the barn loft, to be used as fodder for the milk cows. Then three or four times a week one or more of the children , usually the younger ones, were sent to the barn loft to scratch through the pea vines and gather enough of the dried peas for the evening meal. Each year they planted a crop of sorghum. Granddad acquired a press and a set of pans and ladles and as the boys grew older they spent the summers working the fields or cutting wood for cooking, heat or to fire the pans and boil the sorghum extract into sirup. An estimate was made of the amount that would be used by the family in the following year, (Which was quit a lot since this was the only general source of sweets in the family diet.) the remaining sirup was sold as part of the cash crop for family income. Granddad played the fiddle and danced the Irish jigs. James played the fiddle and guitar, Robert played fiddle, guitar, and mandolin, William played the fiddle and banjo. Actually all four could and did play all of the stringed instruments. When William was fourteen, Granddad and James spent a Saturday in Tyler on farm business, when the business was completed they spent the rest of their time looking at everything that they could find to see, partly to satisfy their own interest but also to tell the rest of the family about the entire trip step by step and word for word because they were unable to see and do in person. One of the places that they visited was a Pawn Shop near the wagon yard and one of the items that they examined was and old fiddle, without a chin rest, the wood was worn thin where the players whisker stubble rubbed the instrument as it was held for playing, It had a good voice, both played it and agreed that it was a fine fiddle. This was a major topic of conversation the evening they got home. Monday morning William was not there for breakfast and his horse was not in the barn. That evening he returned with the fiddle. He had traded his banjo and $13.00 for the fiddle. Dad played that fiddle as long a he lived, neither I or any of my brothers play, Sheliah, my only daughter that plays has the fiddle now. The old bow was broken, but Sheliah has replaced the bridge, strings, and bow so that it is in playing condition. When I was seven year old (1934) one of the ebony keys broke. I followed dad out in the rain to one of the bois'd'arc fence post of the garden fence and watched as he slabbed off a peace of the wood. He sat in front of the fireplace and carved a new key to exact shape and size. He placed the key on the fiddle, tuned it and played Golden Slippers and Silver Bells for me. The Bois'd'arc key is still on the fiddle. The boys were very popular at all the local dances and parties as they grew up. To my knowledge, they never danced but would play all night so the others could. Granddad never stayed long on any one farm, was always looking for a bigger farm, a better house and barn, or better soil. James, (1895, Arkansas); Robert, (1897, Texas); and William (1898, Texas); born in (I think.) Smith Co. near the comunity of Whitehouse: Julia Ann (b. 1901) in Arkansas; Mary (b. 1903) in Altus Oklahoma; Odis L. (b. 1908) Hopkins County Texas
Year and place of birth from 1910 Census Hopkins County Texas. Need to check 1900 Census in Arkansas to confirm Julias' place of birth. Note found in Emily Sullivans' Bible gave dates and place of birth for children (from Donna Birdsong July 1993)
When William (my father) was in his mid teens and granddad was about to contract for a different farm grandma discussed with him a quarter section with a fair house and barn near Whitehouse, Smith Co. TX. that was for sale. They discussed the price and decided that it was a good value, but granddad said that he just could not raise the money. Grandma told him that she had been saving a little of the cash money sense they were married and that they could buy the property. This delighted Granddad, he took the money, ordered a railroad boxcar, loaded all household goods and the farm implements and moved to Altus, Oklahoma. Robert and William rode horseback from Whitehouse to Altus, because it saves freight on the horses, was summer time, and what the heck! I wish that I had a better memory and had listened better when these stores were being told. Maybe Diana can fill in on some of this, James' sons Jimmy, Wayne, or Donald Lee should be able to come up with many of the stories that the brothers and sisters told of and on each other. Harry, Charles and Pinkey should have enough stories to fill a book, Clara was a story teller and he would have retold every story that Mary told him or that he heard through association with the family.
When the family tried to settle in the Altus area, they made a good cotton crop, but granddad decided to try the Little River area of eastern Oklahoma. After a year of cold and damp on a rocky mountainside, they mover to the community of Sasakwa, in Seminole County. All the good bottom land was taken, and the sandy rocky hillsides dident offer much except a lot of experience and hard work. Granddad moved the family to Arkansas, that last but one season and back to Texas, a few years there, and back to Oklahoma. When they got to Sasakwa again all of the children were trying to stay in school and did not want to move again, grandma told them that she would stay there and keep house for them and that they would not move until they were out of school and/or on their own. Granddad never again said "We are moving". when grandma had saved enough money to buy another house she bought a home in Kanawa and they lived out their remaining years there.
The story as I remember it dosent fit the dates and places of birth, I sure wish that I had someone to tell the story of events and places as they happened. Obviously there were many moves across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Dad shower me the camp sight and where a stump of a hickory tree had rotted out by a creek about four miles east of the South Canadian River and a few miles northwest of Sasakwa where as a boy on a trip east to Sasakwa, the family had camped in their wagon and spent an extra day falling a hickory tree, splitting and shaping a bow for the wagon. One had been broken and they had to have another to keep the canvas tight to shed the water when it rained. All of the boys and part of the girls rode horseback all across Oklahoma and Arkansas. It was horseback, walk or ride the overloaded wagon. so it was walk and ride, ride and walk.
Grandma always kept a large flock of chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese for the eggs and or meat. One Sunday the boys stayed home, gave up church and Sunday dinner and a visit with a neighbor so that they could stay home. This was not unusual for boys in their teen, however during the following week granddad listened to the bits an peaces of conversation and giggling between the boys and when Sunday came, to their chagrin announced that he was staying home also, he just dident feel like visiting that day. After grandma and the kids were gone, granddad called the boys and said " Ok, catch the rooster." The boys had, the previous Sunday, caught the rooster. held him bottom-up by the feet and poured "Highlife" on his legs, let it run down the feathers to the flesh and then turned him loose. What they had been giggling about was the frequent trips that the rooster had taken around the house and over the barn. Once on top of the barn he had stopped to crow, then had taken off again in mid crow. Granddad just wanted to see the rooster do his dance and listen to him crow, besides, it came back home the next Tuesday. About the same time period, they acquired their first BB Gun, that spring the tom turkey would forget and strut, remember, drop their feathers and run like crazy for the barn. Dad said that the "Bulls eye" was just too tempting. Fortunately neither the aim or the velocity of the BB's was all that great.
About 1919 James left Sasakwa to deal in Real Estate in Oklahoma City. He met and married Mildred--------, date and data, they had three sons. Robert joined the navy and served one hitch, took a discharge, and married Purnia, then spent forty years as a Rural Mail Carrier. They had one son and one daughter. William joined the army, assigned to the Signal Corps, he server at Ft. Sill, Langely Field, and then a year in Panama where he was an aerial photographer. Discharged, he returned to Sasakwa, married Alfie Cardelia Wallace. Dad got a job as Rural Mail Carrier out of Sasakwa. Wallace, Zane and Delmer Lee were born there. Dad applied for and got the posted vacancy in Wapanucka, Johnson County, we moved there shortly before Dale was Born. The day Dale was born Dad killed the only Live Rattle Snake that I was to see for many years. That was the year that Roberts son, Joel, while working as a caddy, in Lawton, Ok., was drowned by fellow caddies in a watertrap and left there without notifying anyone.
Ida and Lawrence were teaching school and music. Each year the school board offered to renew Ida's contract, but refused to rehire Lawrence. They moved around a lot.
Julia married a man named Lee, they divorced, she moved to California, remarried and had a lot of heartaches. She died there.
Mary married Clara Coats, They had four sons; Harry, Howard, Charles, and James Alen (Pinkey).
Odis had a bad limp caused by a snake bite. James, Robert, William, and Odis were playing in a creek. They decided to "Grabble" for fish. James pulled out a Cotton Mouth Moccasin. He turned it loose and yelled SNAKE. Odis was swimming and put his feet down to walk out of the water. He stepped on the snake and it bit him on the ankle. The brothers tried to bleed and suck the poison out. Dad dident know if the damage was from the snake bite, the knife, or the infection caused by their lack of sanitation. Odis married Nell, they have one daughter, Donna.
